Cyprian Pinkham

William Cyprian Pinkham[1] (1844–1928[2]) was the second Anglican Bishop of Saskatchewan.[3] He then became the first Bishop of Calgary when the diocese was divided in 1903.[4]

Pinkham was born in St. John's, Newfoundland[5] and educated at St Augustine's College, Canterbury.[6] He was ordained in 1868 and his first position was as the incumbent of St. James's Manitoba.[7] After this he was Superintendent of Education for the Protestant Public Schools of Manitoba and finally, before his ordination to the episcopate,[8] the Archdeacon of Manitoba.

Pinkham retired in 1926 and died two years later.
