It is the autonomous Anglican province in Canada, led by the Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada and known in French as l'Eglise anglicane du Canada.
The Anglican Church of Canada traces its origin to Church of England missions and parishes in British North America and held its first General Synod in 1893. It comprises ecclesiastical provinces and dioceses across Canada and works in partnership with Indigenous Anglican ministries.
