It was separated from the Anglican Diocese of Saskatchewan in 1933." (from Wikipedia.) It consists of 21 parishes organized under three deaneries. Some are multi-point charges, and several are shared Anglican/Lutheran ministries."
The diocese is situated in the traditional territories of the Treaty 6 First Nations.
