Change of Province's Name

The Diocese of Calgary hosted the 2024 Provincial Synod from May 23 to 26.

Of the many resolutions that were discussed and voted on at this gathering, one stood out. The name of our Province – The Ecclesiastical Province of Rupert’s Land was changed.  After discussion, listening and prayerful consideration, a new name has been decided upon. The new name will be used effective June 1^st, 2024, but will require a second vote in 2027 to make it official and legal.

Going forward, our Province will be known as The Ecclesiastical Province of The Northern Lights.
