As set out in a June 2013 resolution of the Anglican Church's General Synod, the diocese of Keewatin ceased to operate on 31 December 2014. It was formally closed on 30 September 2015, at which time Archbishop Ashdown retired as both diocesan bishop and as Metropolitan of Rupert's Land. The
First Nations parishes in northwestern Ontario and northern Manitoba were separated from Keewatin on 1 June 2014 to form the new diocese of
Mishamikoweesh. The Rt. Rev.
Lydia Mamakwa, the area bishop for
Northern Ontario within the former Keewatin diocese, is now diocesan bishop of Mishamikoweesh. The southern parishes in the diocese were transferred to the
Diocese of Rupert's Land on 1 August 2014. There were also minor adjustments to the boundaries of the
Diocese of Brandon. ==Bishops of Keewatin==
