Sandra Boutilier Fyfe was installed as the Bishop of the Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, Canada on 30 November (Saint Andrew's Day), 2020.
[1] Fyfe began her post-secondary education in 1984 and completed the Foundation Year Program at University of King's College, before going on to obtain a bachelor’s degree in public relations from Mount Saint Vincent University in 1988.
She worked in that field for several years with healthcare and post-secondary institutions, as well as the Women’s Policy Office with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.
[3] She was elected to the episcopacy on September 12, 2020 during a vacancy of see following Archbishop Ronald Cutler's retirement in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to strict Public Health restrictions no congregation was permitted to gather for her consecration, but just over 4,000 joined to watch the live broadcast.
