Population density in the Maritimes is above average among Canadian provinces which reflects their small size and the fact that they do not possess large unpopulated hinterlands as do the other seven provinces and three territories New Brunswick's 107 municipalities cover 8.6% of the province's land mass but are home to 65.3% of its population the three major urban areas are in the south of the province and are Greater Moncton population 126,424 Greater Saint John population 122,389 and Greater Fredericton population 85,688 Ethnicity and language. . ; 2 Definition 7 References 5.1.5 Freed slaves See also: Crime in Canada and Gun politics in Canada, Main article: Sheppard East LRT Native trees in Toronto Buses and streetcars 17 External links. ! 2015? 59 27 288 429 2002 62, Faculty of Arts BMO Field in 2016, The earliest Presbyterian ministers in Upper Canada came from various denominations based in Scotland Ireland and the United States the "Presbytery of the Canadas" was formed in 1818 primarily by Scottish Associate Presbyterian missionaries yet independently of their mother denomination in the hope of including Presbyterian ministers of all stripes in Upper and Lower Canada Although successfully including members from Irish Associate and American Presbyterian and Reformed denominations the growing group of missionaries belonging to the Church of Scotland remained separate Instead in 1831 they formed their own "Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in Connection with the Established Church of Scotland" That same year the "Presbytery of the Canadas" having grown and been re-organized became the "United Synod of Upper Canada" in its continued pursuit for Presbyterian unity (and a share of government funding from the Clergy Reserves for established churches) the United Synod sought a union with the Church of Scotland synod which it finally joined in 1840 However some ministers had left the United Synod prior to this merger (including notably Rev James Harris Rev William Jenkins and Rev Daniel Eastman) in the 1832 new Secessionist missionaries began to arrive belonging to "The United Associate Synod in Scotland" (after 1847 the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland) Committed to the voluntarist principle of rejecting government funding they decided against joining the "United Synod of Upper Canada" and on Christmas Day 1834 formed the "Missionary Presbytery of the Canadas" Although this new presbytery was formed at Rev James Harris's church in Toronto he and his congregation remained independent from it However the voluntarist Rev Jenkins and his congregation in Richmond Hill joined the Missionary Presbytery a few years later Rev Eastman had left the United Synod in 1833 to form the "Niagara Presbytery" of the Presbyterian Church in the USA After this presbytery dissolved following the Rebellion of 1837 he rejoined the United Synod which then joined the Church of Scotland Outside of these four Presbyterian denominations only two others gained a foothold in the province the small "Stamford Presbytery" of the American Secessionist tradition was formed in 1835 in the Niagara region and the Scottish Reformed Presbyterian or "Covenanter" tradition was represented in the province to an even lesser extent Despite the numerous denominations by the late 1830s the Church of Scotland was the main expression of Presbyterianism in Upper Canada Mennonites Tunkers Quakers and Children of Peace. .
