The Inter Faith Dialogue and Education Commission was initiated in 2007, by the Most Rev'd A Bruce Stavert, Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada.
One of four provinces in the Anglican Church of Canada, the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada was founded in 1860, and thus predates the national structure by three decades.
The Province currently includes seven dioceses: Montreal, Quebec, Fredericton, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, Western Newfoundland, Central Newfoundland and Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador.
