Wednesday, June 10, 1925. Creation of the United Church of Canada.

Canada's largest protestant denomination, the United Church of Canada, was created by the merger of the Methodist Church, Canada and the Congregational Union of Ontario and Quebec, as well as most of the congregations of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, and the Association of Local Union Churches.  The union is surprising in that the base churches had real theological differences.

The Catholic Church is the largest church in Canada overall.
