Administrative history
Services began in Balsam Bay in the late 1880s. Worship was held in the local school house. In 1884, a Mr. M. Graigie donated land for a church. E. Durby also donated a parcel of land for a cemetery. The church, however, was not built until the 1920s. It was constructed of logs and the pews were handmade. A bell tower was added to the church in 1959. Balsam Bay, along with Grand Marais (OW.032), Poplar Park (OW.072), and Victoria Beach (OW.097) received pastoral care from Scanterbury (OW.085). From 1970-1974, Balsam Bay was under the pastoral care of the Diocese of Keewatin. From 1975-1980, Balsam Bay was part of the Selkirk Area Ministry. From 1981 to the present, Balsam Bay was part of the Matheson Deanery Team Ministry - Eastern Beaches with Grand Marais and Victoria Beach (OW.097). As of 2009, Balsam Bay entered the process of disestablishment. The church building, lands and cemetery are to be turned over to the Rural Municipality of St. Clements. The congregation is worshipping at Grand Marais.
