The earliest Protestant records are from 1766, when the Church of England (Anglican) parishes were founded in Montréal. Presbyterian records date from 1770 in the city of Québec and 1779 in Montréal. Other non-Catholic groups came later. | The earliest Protestant records are from 1766, when the Church of England (Anglican) parishes were founded in Montréal.
