The Anglican Diocese of Moosonee is an Anglican diocese responsible for administering Anglican parishes around James Bay in Ontario and Quebec. The Diocese was one of three in 1874, along with the Diocese of Saskatchewan and Athabasca, from territory of the Diocese of Rupert’s Land. In 1902, some of the Diocese’s territory was given to the Anglican Diocese of Keewatin and in 1933 the area in northwestern Quebec was given to the Anglican Diocese of the Arctic. During the Residential School System, several Anglican residential schools operated within diocesan boundaries. These schools were initially funded and operated by the Church Missionary Society (CMS). In the 1920s and 1930s, all residential schools in the Diocese came under the control of the Missionary Society of the Church of England in Canada until they were either closed down or transferred to the Government of Canada in 1969.
