Time for Sunday School was a Canadian children's religious television series which aired on CBC Television from 1962 to 1966.

Premise

By late 1964, the series featured elements of comparative religion, for example featuring the subject of Hallowe'en and the historic contributions of Druids to that festival.

Series hosts included Gloria Chetwynd, Ann Graham and Helene Nickerson. Nickerson left the series after June 1963 to pursue a teaching career.[2]

Production

The series was produced at CBC Montreal by Robert Haylock, and later Bill Rice.[3]
