John Dixon (bishop)
John Harkness Dixon (23 July 1888 – 1 April 1972) was the 7th[1] Anglican Bishop of Montreal from 1943 to 1960 and then Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada[2] (and thus Archbishop of Montreal) for a further two years. [3]
Born in Iroquois, Ontario he was educated at the University of Toronto before embarking on an ecclesiastical career with a curacy at Fenaghvale, Ontario.[4] This was swiftly followed by elevation to posts in Ottawa, during which time he was appointed a Canon of the cathedral . After a further 8 years in the Diocese of Toronto he was appointed Dean of Montreal in 1940 [5] before being made bishop in 1943.[6]
