The Anglican Diocese of Calgary is an Anglican diocese responsible for administering Anglican parishes in southern Alberta. The Diocese was founded in 1888 when it was split from the Diocese of Saskatchewan. Anglican missionaries had been active in southern Alberta since the late 1870s and established various schools for Indigenous students in the region through organizations such as the Church Missionary Society (CMS). During the residential school era, the Diocese had four schools in operation. All were administered by the CMS until the 1920s, when the Missionary Society of the Church of England in Canada (MSCC) took over. In 1969, the Government of Canada took over the administration of all residential schools in Canada.
