Notice biographique

Henry George Cook was born on October 12, 1906 in Walthamstow, England. At the age of 23, he began his studies for the ministry at Huron College and the University of Western Ontario, where he obtained a degree in theology and a Bachelor of Arts degree. Cook met fellow student Opal May Thompson who became his wife on June 4, 1935 in St. Thomas ON. She passed away in 1987. Cook began his ministry in 1935 in the Northwest Territories at Fort Simpson. He later became archdeacon of James Bay and in 1949 became superintendent of the Indian School Administration in Ottawa, which oversaw Anglican residential schools. The position lasted 15 years and in 1963 Cook was consecrated as the first bishop suffragan of the Diocese of the Arctic with responsibilities for the Athabasca district and later the Mackenzie River area district. After his retirement in 1974, he assisted in establishing the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre. The centre opened in 1979 and the NWT Archives Reading Room is named in Cook's honour. In 1979, Cook finally retired to Stittsville, Ontario. He died in Ottawa, Ontario on October 18, 1995.
