Now a historic site, St. Andrew’s Church was built in the Shand Creek area in 1924 by returned soldier settlers and pioneers of the area, holding its first service on May 18, 1924. A cairn and plaque erected by the Shand Agricultural Society commemorates the pioneers who built the church, along with the original Red Cross Outpost.
