Comprised of what was once a chapel, school, and convent, St. Ann's Academy in Victoria, British Columbia was built by the Roman Catholic women's Congregation of the Sisters of St. Ann from Quebec. The chapel inside St. Ann's Academy was the original St. Andrew's before the new cathedral was constructed in downtown Victoria.
