History

BT started life as a supplement that was distributed three times a week with The Straits Times. On Oct 1, 1976, The Business Times became a newspaper in its own right. In June 1995, BT became the first English-language newspaper in Asia to go online. By 2000, BT's website was offering news updates throughout the day. In February 2012, BT launched a sister site BTInvest, a portal focused on finance and investment. Over the course of 2012 and 2013, BT also rolled out mobile apps, for the iPhone, iPad and Android smartphones.

In October 2014, BT simultaneously refreshed its newspaper, website, tablet and smartphone apps. One big change - applied to both its print and digital products - was in how it organises the news. Previously organised by geographical markets, BT's news is now categorised by industry sectors. The paper said that this was to underline its sharpened focus on business. Sections include: Companies & Markets, Real Estate, Banking & Finance, Energy & Commodities, Technology, Consumer, Transport and Government & Economy. Another important change for the BT website was the shift to responsive web design, which ensures that the site is readable and easy to navigate on any screen. Other key changes include an emphasis on visual journalism and data-driven journalism, and the introduction of three new blogs on the website. The 2014 redesign also won BT an Award of Excellence from the Society of News Design in March 2015.

Canada (ⁱ/ˈkænədə/; French: [ka.na.da]) is a country in the northern part of North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering 9.98 million square kilometres (3.85 million square miles), making it the world's second-largest country by total area and the fourth-largest country by land area. Canada's border with the United States is the world's longest land border. Canada is sparsely populated, the majority of its land territory being dominated by forest and tundra and the Rocky Mountains; about four-fifths of the country's population of 35 million people live near the southern border. The majority of Canada has a cold or severely cold winter climate, but southerly areas are warm in summer.

The land now called Canada has been inhabited for millennia by various Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the 15th century, British and French colonies were established on the Atlantic coast, with the first establishment of a region called "Canada" occurring in 1537. As a consequence of various conflicts, the United Kingdom gained and lost territories within British North America until left, in the late 18th century, with what mostly geographically comprises Canada today. Pursuant to the British North America Act, on July 1, 1867, the colonies of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia joined to form the autonomous federal Dominion of Canada. This began an accretion of provinces and territories to the self-governing Dominion to the present ten provinces and three territories forming modern Canada. In 1931, Canada achieved near total independence from the United Kingdom with the Statute of Westminster 1931, and full sovereignty was attained when the Canada Act 1982 removed the last remaining ties of legal dependence on the British parliament.

Ecclesiastical Province of Canada

The Ecclesiastical Province of Canada was founded in 1860 and is one of four ecclesiastical provinces in the Anglican Church of Canada. Despite its name, the province covers only the former territory of Lower Canada (i.e., southern and eastern Quebec), the Maritimes, and Newfoundland and Labrador (Ontario was split off as a separate province in 1913). There are seven dioceses in the province:

Provinces of the Anglican Church of Canada are headed by a Metropolitan, elected from among the province's diocesan bishops. This bishop then becomes Archbishop of his or her diocese and Metropolitan of the Province. The current Metropolitan of the Province of Canada is the Most Rev. Percy D. Coffin, Archbishop of Western Newfoundland.
