First Presidency creates new Canada Area of the Church

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the creation of the new Canada Area.

The new area — created to better provide leadership and support for all Church leaders and units in Canada — will be effective Aug. 1, 2025.

The new area will come from divisions in three existing areas — the North America Central, North America Northeast and North America West areas. Toronto, Ontario, will serve as headquarters for the Canada Area presidency and the area office, which includes a director for temporal affairs and other area staff and support functions.
