Dennis Paul Drainville is the twelfth Anglican bishop of Quebec. He began his episcopate on Pentecost Sunday 2009. Bishop Dennis attended Trinity College, Toronto, earning degrees in arts and divinity. After ordination in 1982 he served a rural parish in the Diocese of Ontario. He later became executive director of STOP 103, a non-profit, multi-service agency responding to the needs of the poor and marginalized in Toronto's downtown core. He has also served as an associate priest at Christ Church Cathedral, Montreal; as Anglican chaplain at McGill University in Montreal; and as parish priest in the Diocese of Toronto.

In 1990, Bishop Dennis was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, where he served in various capacities, including deputy speaker and Chair of the Select Committee on the Constitution. In 1993 he resigned from the government caucus to protest his party's decision to introduce casino gambling to Ontario.

He arrived in the Diocese of Quebec in 1994 as a teacher of English, drama, history, and humanities at the CÉGEP de la Gaspésie et des Îles in Gaspé. He also served as an honorary assistant in the Greater Parish of Gaspé, and later as Archdeacon of Gaspé.

A lifelong social activist and a compelling public speaker, Bishop Drainville has never hidden his commitment to social change and to the creation of relationships based on the principles of justice and peace. His work as Bishop has been a natural extension of these fundamental beliefs.
