The Anglican Diocese of Ontario is an Anglican diocese that manages the parishes within its jurisdiction. It is centred around the city of Kingston, Ontario and surrounding areas. Originally part of the Diocese of Toronto, the Diocese of Kingston became its own entity in 1862 via “An Act Respecting The Incorporated Synod of Ontario.” The Diocese’s land originally included the City of Ottawa until 1896, when it separated to form the Diocese of Ottawa. 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.
