The Anglican Diocese of Fredericton was created in 1845 from territory once held by the Anglican Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. It is one of several Anglican diocese that form the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada, which is then part of the General Synod for the Anglican Church of Canada. While the Diocese did not have any Anglican residential schools operating within its boundaries, and thus is 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 schools.
