Ottawa was selected as the permanent capital of the Province of Canada in 1857. With the growth of Ottawa's government and civil service population, a new congregation separated from the original Anglican parish, Christ Church on Spark Street.

St. John's Church is associated with the early settlement of the Scott's Mills or Scott's Plains area (now the City of Peterborough) by over 200 Irish immigrants in 1825.

This church replaced an earlier building from 1820. Distinguished by stepped battlements on its façade, the new building was designed in the early Gothic revival style by noted architect Kivas Tully, who would later design Victoria Hall. The new building opened for service in 1854.

When this church was built, it was then on the outskirts of Toronto. Henry Scadding, who lived in the house nearby, was the church’s first rector. Starting in the 20th century, it started offering programming and assistance to Toronto’s inner city.

Ottawa in the 1840s (still Bytown then) was a growing timber-trade village with a substantial French-Canadian population but no Catholic schools and few social services. In 1845, four nuns, led by Bruyère, arrived and establish a school, hospital and orphanage, as well as established many social services.

This church was designed by architect Henry Langley in the high Victorian Gothic style. Constructed in 1872 to replace an earlier structure, it was badly damaged by fire in 1928 and rebuilt. It was here that the first General Council of the United Church met in 1925.

Originally from near Bordeaux, France, Jeanne Branda felt a calling to become a nun and a teacher. In 1899, she joined the Dominican Sisters of Nancy, where she took on the name Sister Marie Thomas d’Aquin. She moved to the United States and then, while visiting Ottawa in 1914, agreed to head the Jeanne d’Arc Institute.

Built from local stone, this Presbyterian church was begun in 1830 on land acquired from Joseph Keeler, a prominent local merchant. Little altered since 1911, it remains one of the oldest surviving Presbyterian churches in Ontario.

Sault Ste. Marie was elevated to a diocese in 1904 and the church was selected as a diocesan Cathedral. In 1913, the Jesuits who had served the parish church and then the Cathedral were replaced by the secular clergy. It was renamed the Cathedral of Precious Blood in 1936.

Born in Devonshire, England, Scadding came to Canada in 1821. He was the first rector of the nearby Church of the Holy Trinity and authored many books on the history of Toronto. Scadding lived in this house from 1862 until his death.

St. Anne's Anglican Church parish was founded on the present site in 1862. In 1907, a competition was held for the design of a new church.

With its congregation dating to 1783, the Cathedral is associated with the first organized Anglican parish in Ontario.

This church is the main church of Canada’s largest English-speaking Catholic archdiocese. Begun in 1845, the site has seen several additions over the years — including the chancel window in 1858 and the tower and spire in 1867.
