All Saints’ Anglican Church (Nairn Centre, Ont.) is a church within the Rainbow Country Anglican Parish (Espanola, Ont.).

The community was known as Nelsonville in the early years until the township was officially declared in March 1896. Just a year later the All Saints' Anglican Church was built. The bell was part of an old C. N. R. engine and was donated by Mrs. Hazel Jefferies. The church and cemetery land was donated by J. B. Hammond. In these formative years, Nairn Centre was part of the Webbwood Mission and administered to by Rev. S.H. Morgan. 

In 1908, the building was painted and a basic parsonage was built for the incumbent to use when making visits to the neighbouring lumber camps.

The congregation celebrated its 50th anniversary on September 28, 1947. Two years later in 1949, the church received and had dedicated gifts in honour of loved ones. A cross and candlesticks were donated by Edwin Lahti in memory of his sister Elsi; a sanctuary rug was gifted by Mr. and Mrs. Hilliard Smith in memory of James Henry Smith; a font was donated by Mr. J.A. Bird; riddlestands and sanctuary light were donated by Rev. J.H. Watson. 

The All Saints' Anglican Church continued to be kept in good condition and renovated. In 1953 the basement was enlarged to the full size of the building. The floor was also painted.

Gowan Gilmor Memorial Anglican Church (Sagamok First Nation, Ont.) is sometimes referred to as being in Spanish River, Ontario. The Gowan Gilmor Memorial Church is part of the multi-point Rainbow Country Anglican Parish (Espanola, Ont.).

In the 1880's and 1890's, occasional services were held in the Sagamok area by the incumbent of the Sheguiandah mission, ministered by Rev. Frederick Frost . In the summer of 1889 the congregation built a small log church and school house. The Bishop of Algoma officiated the opening of these buildings during the same summer; a bell was added to the church in September 1891. The schoolhouse burned in a fire ten years after its construction, but was quickly replaced in April 1899. Around this time the Sagamok area was moved from the Sheguiandah mission to the Webbwood Mission, which was ministered by Rev. S.H. Morgan. In 1906, this mission was divided and Sagamok was again transferred,this time into the new Massey Mission with Massey and Walford.

By 1938 it appears a new church building was constructed; the interior of it nearly being complete. The date is uncertain, but by this year the church was named the Gowan Gilmor Memorial Anglican Church. 

The church joined the Rainbow Country Anglican Parish in December 1978, after the death of Rev. Douglas Sissenah. Rev. Lorne Sutherland, rector of the parish, tried to include the Ojibway language in his services. 

A year after Rev. Sissenah's death, the congregation held a memorial service on September 19, 1979. A silver chalice and paten were bought in memory of Rev. Sissenah. 

Incumbents have included: Rev. Douglas Sissenah (1930-1978), Rev. Lorne Sutherland (1978-?).

St. Augustine of Canterbury Anglican Church (Whitefish Falls, Ont.) was part of the Rainbow Country Anglican Parish (Espanola, Ont.).

The Whitefish Falls area was pioneered by the North West Company around 1790 and later joined with the Hudson's Bay Company in 1821. The companies finished the railway and withdrew from the area in 1890. The Whitefish Falls mission had established a small school around 1830, but with the company's withdrawal, the settler community was depleted and the mission's activity dwindled. The efforts were restarted between 1916 and 1917 when the mission's school as re-activated by Rev. S.H. Ferris, of Garden River, with Mr. Duncan Bell as teacher. The school was somewhat irregular of its time because it taught both settler and indigenous children. The community at Birch Island were also educated at this mission school. By 1925, the schoolhouse was in need of a new foundation. A new school was built and opened on November 1, 1937. The A.Y.P.A. (Anglican Young People's Association) initiated plans to reuse the old school building as a hall for plays, meetings, and other sorts of business, making Whitefish Falls a sort of headquarters. They held a Hallowe'en dance on October 30, 1941 with success. The school seemed to do well until it was closed in 1969; the children then went to Espanola for education.

In its early years, the mission did not have its own incumbent and it was administered to by Rev. E. Montizambert of Little Current. Services were held in the schoolhouse until plans began for a church building in 1929 and 1930. The cornerstone was laid in July 1930 by Archdeacon Burt. The first service in the church was held on February 15, 1931. St. Augustine of Canterbury was consecrated and dedicated on October 9, 1931 by Bishop Rocksborough Smith. The mission's vicarage was completed in January 1932. Prior to this, the back of the schoolhouse served as the rector's living quarters. A few years later, on December 7, 1934, the church caught fire. The community was able to extinguish the fire before much damage was done, and the church was repaired and ready for service again by Christmas.

The Anglican activity in Whitefish Falls continued and was varied. In 1942, the Summer Youth Conference Committee decided to hold the first summer camp at Whitefish Falls, from June 5th to 12th. This committee was strongly influenced by Rev. C. M. Serson of the S.S.J.E. (Society of St. John the Evangelist) and was open to the whole Alogoma Diocese. These summer camps continued regularly at Whitefish Falls until 1961, when the camp was transferred to Manitou.

In 1952, the St. Augustine mission was gifted oak seats for the church from the W.A. (Women's Auxiliary), and the International Nickel donated a chlorination system for the schoolhouse and vicarage. The A.Y.P.A. also worked on a proper ceiling for the schoolhouse's kitchen during this year, and a half acre of land was leased at the back of the property for a playground. 

St. Augustine of Canterbury joined the Rainbow Country Anglican Parish sometime between 1960 and 1971, but by 1978 the rector, Rev. Canon Lorne Sutherland, indicated that St. Augustine's building was deteriorating and in need of repairs. The church was closed and demolished shortly after.

St. George the Martyr Anglican Church (Espanola, Ont.) is part of the Rainbow Country Anglican Parish (Espanola, Ont.). 

The Anglican presence had been building in the Espanola area since the 1890's, but the first steps to constructing a church in Espanola were not until 1913 when the Spanish River Pulp and Paper Company gave a 99-year lease to the Bishop. Construction began 11 years later with the sod turning ceremony on May 26, 1924. The first sod was turned by Mr. W.J. Hussey, General Superintendent of the Espanola plant of the Spanish River Pulp and Paper Company.

On June 22, 1924 Archdeacon Gowan Gilmor laid the corner stone; beneath the corner stone Mr. LeBaron Dibblee, a churchwarden, placed documents including a history of the parish, a list of parochial officers, and a long list of donations given or promised to the church. The opening service was held on October 12, 1924, with a reception following. Work continued on the church and a year later, St. George's installed a bell on the church top. In another year, a fence was constructed around the church and rectory. The mortgage was paid in October of the same year, 1926.

In the early 1940's, the Kalamazoo Vegetable Parchment Company donated nearly $6,000, paying the St. George's mortgage. The church was consecrated on July 6, 1945 with Rev. F. E. Jewell, Canon Haines, and Rev. C. Noble in attendance. 

The congregation celebrated its 25th anniversary on October 9, 1949. The following gifts were presented: font, missal stand, a silver baptismal ewer and shell, and a picture for the Baptistry. In 1954 the rectory was improved by a new furnace, bathroom, and redecorated kitchen. 

The congregation celebrated its 50th anniversary in October 1974 and it's 90th anniversary in 2014.
