Initially part of the Anglican Diocese of Nova Scotia, the Anglican Diocese of Quebec was founded in 1793 and originally covered all of British North America from the Maritimes to Rupert’s Land. These original boundaries were partitioned to form other Anglican diocese such as the Diocese of Toronto in 1839 and the Diocese of Montreal in 1850. During the Residential School System, the Anglican Diocese of Quebec helped administer La Tuque Residential School along with the Missionary Society of the Church of England until 1969, when the Government of Canada took over direct responsibility for the Residential School System. La Tuque Residential School is unique in that it did not grow out of a previous mission, but rather governmental policies of assimilation.
