Ecclesiastical Province of British Columbia and the Yukon
- Ecclesiastical Province of British Columbia and the Yukon
The Ecclesiastical Province of British Columbia and the Yukon is one of four ecclesiastical provinces in the Anglican Church of Canada. It was founded in 1914 as the Ecclesiastical Province of British Columbia, but changed its name in 1943 when the Diocese of Yukon was incorporated from the Ecclesiastical Province of Rupert's Land. The territory covered by the province encompasses the civil province of British Columbia and the Yukon Territory. There are five active and one inactive dioceses in the province:
* "British Columbia" (British Columbia)
* "Caledonia" (British Columbia)
* "Cariboo (British Columbia)
* "Kootenay" (British Columbia)
* "New Westminster" (British Columbia)
* "Yukon" (Yukon)
Cariboo's operations are currently suspended as a result of insolvency arising from liability judgements in the cases of abuse at residential schools operated by the Diocese. The parishes are currently administered by a suffragan bishop to the Metropolitan, and are referred to as the "Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior."
Provinces of the Anglican Church of Canada are headed by a Metropolitan, elected from among the province's diocesan bishops. This bishop then becomes Archbishop of his or her diocese and Metropolitan of the Province. The current Metropolitan of the Province of British Columbia and the Yukon is the Most Rev. Terrence O. Buckle of the Diocese of Yukon, who recently announced his retirement as the Archbishop of Yukon and Metropolitan of British Columbia and Yukon, effective 31 December 2008. Following an election in June of 2008, with five candidates, no co-adjutor was elected. Archbishop Buckle announced later that he would remain on indefinitely, news greeted with much joy in his diocese!
