History Biographical: 

Canon (Harry) Morrow (1916-2012) was born in Hamilton, Ontario on April 11, 1916. Morrow's early career was spent working at Proctor and Gamble.  In the winter of 1947 Harry began working at the Punnichy Residential School in Saskatchewan.  In the summer of 1947 Morrow was transferred to the Shingwauk Residential School (Sault Ste Marie, Ont.) where he worked as a teacher and manual arts instructor.  As a manual arts instructor he taught wood working to many of the students. Canon Morrow met his wife Edith Elford, a sewing matron, while working at Shingwauk, they were married in August 1950 in Verdun, Quebec. Morrow later became a minister and was ordained in the Anglican Church as a Deacon in 1954 at St. Paul's Church (Haileybury, Ont.) and as a Priest in 1955 at Trinity Church (Bala, Ont.). 

Harry served in numerous parishes including Garden River, Manitoulin Island, Sudbury, New Liskeard, and Thunder Bay. Canon Morrow was the rector of St. John the Evangelist in Thunder Bay from 1973 to 1981 when he retired to Sault Ste. Marie.

Nicknamed “the good Canon”, he and his wife, Edith May, were heavily involved in the life and work of the Cathedral, parlaying their many skills into new and novel activities. Harry was known for his inventive means of bringing the Gospel message alive through the use of drama, mascots, humor, and artistic skills. In addition to serving as an honorary assistant at the Cathedral, Canon Morrow was also responsible for carving a beautiful wooden Canterbury Cross which hangs in the Cathedral Chapel and was dedicated to Archbishop Wright and Bishop Nock. He was active in the Kiwanis Club of Sault Ste. Marie for over 40 years and supported numerous charities in Sault Ste Marie. Harry and Edith were parents to two children, Mary Nock (David) and Kevin Morrow “Joshua”. Canon Morrow passed away on January 27, 2012 at the age of 96.
