A blaze at a vacant Oakville church Monday morning has led to the arrest of a man suspected of arson. The suspect has not been named. 

Emergency crews were called to the former Generations Church of the Nazarene on Monday, located at 320 Bronte Road near Bridge Road, shortly after 11:30 a.m. Firefighters worked for nearly three hours to extinguish the flames, which caused extensive damage to the building’s roof.

Witnesses reported seeing a person leaving the property moments before the fire broke out. Halton Regional Police quickly located and detained a male suspect just blocks from the scene. The individual remains in custody as police and fire officials continue their investigation.

“This fire is being treated as suspicious,” said Oakville Fire Chief Paul Boissonneault. He confirmed that fire investigators and the Office of the Fire Marshall are now involved in the probe.

The church, which was sold for redevelopment, was unoccupied at the time of the fire. No injuries were reported.

Authorities have yet to release damage estimates or details on potential charges against the suspect.

Please help us defeat censorship and get the word out about Trudeau's Secret Plan!

Justin Trudeau is desperate to silence Rebel News, but we won’t back down. My new book, Trudeau’s Secret Plan: What he’ll do to us if he wins again, reveals his terrifying agenda if he clings to power in 2025. This sequel to The Libranos — the best-selling exposé Trudeau is still prosecuting in court — exposes his dangerous plans for censorship, globalism, and corruption. Trudeau doesn’t want this book to see the light of day. That’s why he’s attacking Rebel News at every turn. But with your support, we can fight back, promote the truth, and expose his plans to Canadians before it’s too late. Please donate now to help us get the word out, defeat censorship and defend free speech!
