Administrative history
Canora Pastoral Charge was formed as a United Church in 1925, part of Kamsack Presbytery. As of 1940, additional appointments at Mikado, Pretty Valley and Verigin were included.
In the 1950s, the charge joined with Invermay to form Canora-Invermay Pastoral Charge. (Invermay had been formed as a Mission Field in 1925, in Kamsack Presbytery.) Preaching points included St. Andrew's United Church (Canora), Invermay, Buchanan, and Margo. Hampton also joined, around 1964. Margo closed June 20, 1991, and Buchanan June 30, 1991. On May 1, 2003, the charge amalgamated with Pelly Pastoral Charge, to form the new Canora-Norquay-Pelly Pastoral Charge. The preaching point at Invermay closed, on June 30, 2003.
On January 1, 2012, Canora-Norquay-Pelly dissolved and the three points were reorganized into separate charges, including Canora Pastoral Charge.

Administrative history
Canora Ruthenian (later Ukranian) Pastoral Charge was formed as an augmented United Church charge in 1925, part of Kamsack Presbytery and consisting of appointments at Canora (St. Stephen's), Gorlitz, Rhein, Hyas, Hampton, Norquay, and White Sands. By 1940, Hyas had moved to Pelly Pastoral Charge and points at Bear Stream, Danbury, Glen Elder, Kamsack, and Rama had been added. As of 1962, only St. Stephen's (Canora), Gorlitz and Swan Plain remained in the charge -- which appears to have closed around 1964.

Administrative history
Pelly Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, part of Kamsack Presbytery. It initially included Pelly, Norquay, Maloneck, Arran, Melmore and Sunny Isles. As of 1940, the charge consisted of Pelly, Hyas, Arran, Norquay and Stenen, but this changed by 1946, with Belleau Book, Mellmore, Millroad, and Moss Side added, and Stenen-Hyas moved to Preeceville. By 1951, it had been renamed Pelly-Malonek Pastoral Charge, with points at Pelly, Malonek, Hyas, Norquay, and Watson Creek. Between the late-1950s and early 1960s, Pelly Pastoral Charge added Grantsville (from ca.1960), alongside Malonek, Norquay and Pelly. Swan Plain also joined the charge, around 1965, where it remained until the church closed, in 1989. As of 1990, the charge contained only Pelly, Maloneck and Norquay. The church at Maloneck officially closed December 31, 2001.
On May 1, 2003, the charge amalgamated with Canora-Invermay Pastoral Charge to create the new Canora-Norquay-Pelly Pastoral Charge. The preaching point at Invermay closed, on June 30, 2003.
On January 1, 2012, Canora-Norquay-Pelly dissolved and the three points were reorganized into separate charges, including Pelly Pastoral Charge.

Arrangement
Original order for many of these records is unclear. Items under A.381.XV.A and A.381.XV.B were arranged and listed as local church records sometime before 1990, with further batches (under XV.SA, and XV.SC) added around 1993, 2004, 2009 and 2013. The fonds was created in 2023, based on historical relationships between the charges, records previously listed and any new accruals.
