St. John's Anglican Church (Beaumaris, Ont.) is part of the multi-point Muskoka Lakes Anglican Parish. 

The St. John's church was built in 1891. The building did not have water and heat installed, making it only operational during the summer months. In 1906, the church board bought land on the mainland for a parsonage. Shortly after, between 1910 and 1920, St. Mark's (Milford Bay, Ont.) was built for the purpose of winter services. The churches maintain this system of sharing the seasons.

St. Mark's Anglican Church (Milford Bay, Ont.) is part of the multi-point Muskoka Lakes Anglican Parish.

St. Mark's was built between 1910 and 1920, beside the parsonage initially built for St. John's Anglican Church (Beaumaris, Ont.) in 1906. The two churches work together to serve the same congregation. St. Mark's was built on the mainland to provide winter service, whereas St. John's is used for summer services.

St. George's Anglican Church (Port Sandfield, Ont.) is part of the multi-point Muskoka Lakes Anglican Parish.

The St. George's church was built in 1892 and was an outstation to St. James' the Apostle (Port Carling, Ont).

The church became inactive in the late 1970's due to a lack of clergy, and in 1981 the property was being considered for sale. The congregation fought to keep the church open and raised $10,000 for a new roof and renovations. The congregation celebrated the renewal on August 8, 1982. A memorial window of the Good Shepherd was installed and dedicated on July 28, 1985 as a reminder of the pioneers of Muskoka and the congregation's determination.

St. George's is now an occasional church and holds a regular service on August 1st.

The Anglican Church of the Ascension (Sudbury, Ont.) began in January 1954 as a mission outreach of the Anglican Parish of the Epiphany (Sudbury, Ont.).

In the church's formative years it was known as the New Sudbury Mission and held services in Charles McRae Public School, Carl Nesbitt Public School, and in parishioner's homes. The first of these services was held on January 24, 1954 at Charles McRae school. Cyril Varney was the lay reader for the congregation until 1957, when Rev. Harry Morrow became the incumbent.

Shortly afterwards, the congregation obtained the land at the corner of Barrydowne Rd and Lasalle Blvd for their church's construction. On May 15, 1958 the work was started with a ground breaking ceremony, and on October 5, 1958 the Cornerstone for the Parish Hall was laid with Bishop Wright officiating. The first service in the new church was held on November 9, 1958. Much of the labour was done by members of the congregation.

In 2004 the Fellowship Hall was build on the north west side of the church, which is used by the congregation and community members for various activities. 

Incumbents of Anglican Church of the Ascension have included: Rev. Harry Morrow (1957-?), Archdeacon Anne Germond

The Anglican Indian Mission for Chapleau District included the Biscotasing, Flying Post, Brunswick House, Mattawakumma, Chapleau, and Abitibi First Nations. Flying Post and Mattawakumma no longer exist. Brunswick House community has moved two or three times and is now situated just outside Chapleau on highway 101. Biscotasing is halfway between Sudbury and Chapleau on the CP rail line and there is still a church building here. The Abitibi First Nations were located north of highway 11. As well, each of these places were Anglican due to the influence of the Hudson's Bay Company which was a predominantly English company. Before the Canadian Pacific Railway was built, the only way to minister to this extensive area north and east of what is now Chapleau was by water (canoe).

In 1860, Rev. John Horden - who went on to become founder and first bishop of the Diocese of Moosonee - journeyed from Moose Factory to Missanabie and found a young man named John Sanders (an Ojibway) in Flying Post whom he took to be schooled with Sanders' father's permission. Sanders came to be ordained a deacon in 1876 and was priested in 1879. Bishop Horden sent Sanders in 1876 to Mattagami to become the Indian missionary. In this role he travelled to Flying Post, Missanabie, Michipicoten, Chapleau, Brunswick House, Biscotasing, and others. It should also be noted that Rev. Horden was the one to divide the Diocese of Moosonee into five districts; one of the five being Moose Factory which contained Abitibi, Mattawakumma, Flying Post, Brunswick House, and others which are not being considered here.

Rev. Sanders conducted the first Anglican worship service in Chapleau at Mulligan's Bay in 1882 in Ojibway - which is where St. John's Anglican Church later was built.* This is how the work of the Church of England in Chapleau and area began before the CPR was built. Once the CPR was built Rev. Sanders changed his headquarters to Biscotasing to more easily reach the places in Chapleau District. Rev. Sanders was actually responsible for the construction of the church at Biscotasing (which survived the fire of summer 1913). He was also responsible for the building of the church at Missanabie which became a base for further missionary activity in places like Flying Post and Brunswick House. 

Since Chapleau was passed back and forth between the Diocese of Moosonee and the Diocese of Algoma so many times (based on the easiest travel route to get there at any given time), it is hard to track incumbents. The scattered nature of this district also made it difficult to minister to. As well, places within Chapleau District, namely Biscotasing, could fall under different Deaneries or Diocese's and had differing incumbents. Some of the Indigenous groups listed aboves may have also attended churches in different missions, such as those from Brunswick House attending services in White River Mission. With these complicating factors, a list of incumbents will not be included here.

*St. John's Church is where the Chapleau Cree had their gatherings and services. It is also noteworthy to mention that there was a residential school in Chapleau by the name of St. John's as well - the Chapleau Cree have since restored the cemetery here.

Burwash Industrial Farm (also known as the Burwash Correctional Centre) was established in 1914 based on the notion that low-risk inmates would benefit from the exercise and skills learned while working outdoors at self-supporting institutions. Burwash housed between 180 and 820 low and medium offenders with sentences of three months to two years less a day. It was located about 20 miles south of Sudbury.

It grew to own 35,000 acres of land and 101,000 leased acres. It also housed three permanent camp sites and several temporary camps. The two main camps were Camp Spruce and Camp Bison. This operation resulted in the establishment of the town of Burwash, Ontario. The town was made up of prison staff and their families, with a population of 600 to 1000 people. At it's peak the Farm was a major employer in the Sudbury region.

Church of England services began to be carried out in April of 1921, but no inmate was forced to go to service. Any participation in religious matters is purely voluntary. The church here for many years was run by part-time chaplains or incumbents of neighbouring parishes. It was not until the 1959 Archdeaconry of Nipissing Report that it was noted that for the first time the authorities decided to appoint a full time Chaplain to the Burwash Industrial Farm - it was the Rev. G. F. Leigh who came in January of 1958. At this time regular Church services were held every Sunday at each of the three camps, except one Sunday each month that was reserved for a central service for the celebration of the Holy Communion.

Prison inmates provided labour to the entire community; they ran a mixed farm, a tailor shop, and a logging operation to name a few. The Burwash Industrial Farm was one of the largest correctional facilities in 20th century in Ontario. It ceased operations in 1975, the decision being made for financial reasons.
