The Anglican Church of Canada is organized into 4 ecclesiastical provinces: Canada; Ontario; Rupert's Land; and British Columbia & Yukon.

The Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario was formed in 1912 when the Dioceses of Algoma, Huron, Niagara, Ontario, Ottawa and Toronto were separated from the province of Canada and the Diocese of Moosonee was separated from the province of Rupert's Land.
