- List of dioceses of the Anglican Church of Canada
-
The Anglican Church of Canada, an independent province of the worldwide Anglican Communion, contains twenty nine dioceses and one non-diocesan administrative region, organised into four ecclesiastical provinces (not to be confused, though they often are, with the ACC itself as a "province" of the Anglican Communion, particularly as one of the ACC's four provinces is itself the ecclesiastical province of "Canada," covering eastern Quebec, the Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland.)
All but five dioceses are contiguous with a single civil province or territory. The exceptions are the Arctic, Keewatin, Moosonee, Ottawa, and Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
Each diocese has a bishop, four of whom are archbishops serving as metropolitans of their ecclesiastical province. Dioceses are self-governing entities, incorporated under the Corporations Act of the civil province or territory in which they are active. Dioceses generally meet annually, and have responsibility for all aspects of Church life, except that which concerns doctrine, discipline, or worship. These matters are the purview of the General Synod of the national Church, which meets triennially, and at other times delegates its powers to an elected body of clergy and laity, called the Council of General Synod and to the Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada.
