Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is now home to the first complete and authorized version of the Bible to be printed in Canada. This Bible consists of two volumes and was published around 1832 or 1833 by John Henry White in Halifax, Nova Scotia and Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
This acquisition was made possible by a generous gift from the Friends of Library and Archives Canada, a non-profit organization that supports LAC and its
work.

Should be mentioned that LAC “acquired” this via a donation from the friends of LAC.
Thank you for sharing your observation. The news release posted on the LAC website formally acknowledges the generous gift from the Friends of Library and Archives Canada.
