We are so fortunate that Ted Barris is joining the meeting of the Uxbridge Writers' Circle in March.
Ted is an award-winning journalist, author, and broadcaster. He was a full-time professor of journalism and broadcasting at Toronto's Centennial College for 18 years. Since leaving Centennial, he has devoted his time to work as a writer, broadcaster, and public speaker.
His books and awards are far too many to mention but Ted's website https://tedbarris.com/ is rich with information about Ted, including his awards and his books, and includes fascinating articles.
Ted's series on wartime Canada including his latest published book, Battle of the Atlantic, are packed with human stories and bring to life the incredible sacrifices and contributions Canadians have made during various wars.
Ted has been appointed as a member of the Order of Canada for 'advancing our understanding of Canadian military history as an acclaimed historical author, journalist and broadcaster.'
Ted will be speaking about his new book, soon to be published, which features the Battle of Britain and how Canadians contributed to this first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces. It occurred during the Second World War.
Ted will be sharing his writing and research experience with members of the Uxbridge Writers' Circle.
