Elected in 2020, Bishop Anna spent the first 20 years of her ministry serving as a priest in parishes in Calgary and Toronto. Highlights included helping get both the Wisdom Centre and the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good off the ground.
Prior to beginning her work as a priest she earned a B. A. in Religious Studies from Mount Alison University and an M. Div. from the Episcopal Divinity School. In 2022 she completed an MBA with the University of Athabasca focusing on change theory and developing adaptive capacity. Her maxim is that 'the future is not going to look like the past. And the future is bright!". She is a firm believer that God is always and everywhere breathing new life into old institutions.
Anna and her husband James have a busy multi-generational household. They feel very blessed to be living on Vancouver Island and to be able to enjoy the sailing and cycling this beautiful diocese affords.
