The Anglican Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island was established in 1788 and encompassed what is now modern day Nova Scotia, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. It was the first Anglican diocese to be created outside of the United Kingdom, but beginning in 1825, it began to subdivide its territory into several autonomous entities.
While the Diocese never had Anglican residential schools operating within its boundaries, and thus not mentioned in the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement (IRSSA), parishioners would sometimes support Indigenous students to attend residential school in other parts of Canada. Anglican women’s auxiliary groups also sent care packages to residential school.
