The Book of Alternative Services (the BAS - undoubtedly the most widely used Prayer Book in Canada today) is now available from the Anglican Church of Canada in PDF format. Selected services are also available in French, Cree and Chinese. The BAS is also available as HTML from a Canadian parish. A number of additional liturgical texts are available on the Anglican Church of Canada's website. These include the 1962 BCP; Occasional Celebrations; additional Eucharistic Prayers and Services of the Word; Calendar resources; material for trial use; and other resources.
