The Anglican Diocese of Cariboo was an Anglican diocese that administered the parishes around Kamloops and the Cariboo Mountains. It was created in 1914 from portions of the Diocese of New Westminster. During the Residential School System, the Diocese had one Anglican school within its jurisdiction: St. George’s Residential School (Lytton). During the 1990s the Canadian public became aware of the Residential School System’s legacy, which led to an increase in litigation against the Government of Canada and various church entities such as the Anglican Diocese of Cariboo. The financial strain proved too much for the Diocese, which declared bankruptcy in 2001. A year later in 2002, the parishes that used to be administered by the Diocese, formed together to form the Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior (APCI), an organization that filled the role left by the Diocese.
