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.

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.
