Also see . . . Presbyterian Church in Canada. Excerpt:

The Presbyterian Church in Canada is a Presbyterian denomination, serving in Canada under this name since 1875. Once the largest Christian denomination in English-speaking Canada, in 1925 some 70 percent of its congregations joined with the Methodist Church, Canada and the Congregational Union of Ontario and Quebec to form the United Church of Canada. The terms Continuing Presbyterians and Non-Concurring Presbyterians were then used by those who did not participate in the merger, until the legal right to use the name "Presbyterian Church in Canada" was regained in 1939.
