Christ Church Deer Park is a parish of the Anglican Church of Canada in the Diocese of Toronto. Originally a mission of the parish of St. John's, York Mills [1], it was one of the earliest Anglican churches in North Toronto. While the mission congregation began meeting in Leaside in the 1860s, it later moved to the area of Deer Park. Today the parish is known largely for its tradition of choral music.
