 Anglican church music
The first surpliced choir in Canada is said to have sung (under John Bentley) at the consecration of the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Quebec City in 1804.
The development of Anglican church music in the Prairie provinces was handicapped until 1950 by the scarcity of organs between Winnipeg and Vancouver.
The RCCO continued to support church music of all denominations, and the Anglican Foundation, a funding arm of the national church, provided scholarships for beginning organists which is encouraging a renewed interest in the instrument.

 Telegraph | News | Anglicanism on brink of schism over gay 'marriage'
Although illicit gay blessings are widespread in the Anglican Church, such a vote would be seen as the first clear endorsement of the practice by an entire province.
A spokesman for the Canadian Church said, however, that the motion was merely to recognise the status quo in Canada, rather than make a final ruling on the morality of homosexuality.
The damage was compounded in November by the consecration of Canon Gene Robinson in New Hampshire as Anglicanism's first openly gay bishop, despite a warning from primates that this would "tear the fabric" of the Church.

Ottawa -- The government should not only pay part of the legal fees of the churches that are being sued for past abuse at aboriginal residential schools, but also commit to paying part of any settlements imposed on them by tribunals, the Canadian Alliance said yesterday.
Approximately 5,800 individual lawsuits, and four large class-action suits, are in the works against Ottawa and four churches -- Anglican, United, Roman Catholic and Presbyterian -- that administered schools under contract to the federal government.
One of the conditions of any bailout would be that the churches would have to open their books so that the government could see whether they really need the help.

A presentation by the Anglican Church of Canada to the Anglican Consultative Council today, stresses that the church is still “in the midst of a conversation” on the issue of blessing same-sex unions and affirms that the church is committed to maintaining its membership in the Anglican Communion.
Canadian members of the ACC are attending the meeting, which began Sunday, as observers only, in response to a request by the Primates of the Anglican Communion that the Canadian and U.S. churches “voluntarily withdraw” their members from this meeting.
However, the Primates also invited the two North American churches to make presentations to the council describing where the churches are in relations to same-sex blessings and the ordination of an openly gay bishop and the thinking and processes that have brought them here.
