Excerpt from Jubilee of the Diocese of Toronto, 1839 to 1889: Record of Proceedings Connected With the Celebration of the Jubilee November 21st to the 28th, 1889, Inclusive In his Address to the Synod of 1889, the Bishop of Toronto thus referred to the Jubilee of the Diocese: I would remind you that the present year is the Jubilee Year of this Diocese, the Diocese of Toronto having been erected by patent from the Crown in 1839, and the Rev. John Strachan consecrated to be its first Bishop on St. Bartholomew's Day in the same year. I would suggest that a Committee be appointed by this Synod to devise some way in which this occasion may be appropriately commemorated. On the second day of the Meeting of the Synod, 12th June, 1889, that part of the Bishop's charge relating to the Jubilee of the Diocese of Toronto having been brought under the notice of the Synod by the Lord Bishop, he named the following committee thereon: Ven. Archdeacon Boddy (Convener); The Rev. Provost of Trinity College, The Rev. Canon Scadding, The Rev. Dr. McNab, The Rev. A. H. Baldwin, The Rev. Dr. Carry, The Rev. A. J. Broughall, The Rev. Prof. Clark, The Hon. G. W. Allan, His Honor Judge Benson, Col. R. B. Denison, Dr. Hodgins, Mr. A. H. Campbell, Dr. Snelling, Mr. G. M. Evans, and Mr. A. R. Boswell.
