Canada Conference (Evangelical Assoc.)
The churches of the Evangelical Association in eastern Canada organized as the Canada Conference in 1863. The Conference, with the exception of two congregations, joined the United Church of Canada in 1968. It was the Canada Conference that spawned the mission district from Manitoba west that became the Northwest Canada Conference in 1926. In 1928 it was incorporated by an act of the Parliament of Canada. Archival holdings for the Canada Conference are also held with the United Church of Canada archives in eastern Canada.

Mountain View Bible College opened in 1926 in Didsbury. It had been preceded by Edmonton Bible Institute and short term Bible classes taught in Didsbury by Rev. Alvin Traub. The College operated until 1992 when it merged with Hillcrest Christian College and became Rocky Mountain College: A Centre for Biblical Studies. MVBC trained pastors and missionaries and Christian laymen. Its Didsbury campus was essentially built on faith going through several renovations and additions. The completion of a new men's residence and a educational centre resulted following a decision to remain on the Didsbury campus and modernize. It began offering degrees in 1950. Its application for accreditation was withdrawn, after the College achieved candidate status, because of low enrolments. At that time a new study of the viability of the College was undertaken in conjunction with the supporting denomination, the Canada West District of the Missionary Church of Canada. That process resulted in merger in 1992 and, the following year, the merger of the denominations supporting the two colleges.
