CONTRIBUTORS

Cec Jennings wrote “The Monster Who Loved Canada.” Jennings was a newspaper editor for about forty-five years. He retired twenty years ago in order to worry full-time about the Toronto Blue Jays.

Christopher Moore wrote “Making it Count.” A contributing editor with Canada’s History, Moore began his career in history at Parks Canada’s Fortress of Louisbourg in Nova Scotia, which introduced him to the history of New France and inspired his first book, Louisbourg Portraits. He also studied New France with Marcel Trudel, whom he profiles in this issue. “He’s still an inspiration to me,” Moore said.

Nancy Payne wrote two stories in this issue, “Dreams of Harmony,” and “Unadorned Sanctuary.” Payne is a contributing editor with Canada’s History and also the editor of Kayak: Canada’s History Magazine for Kids. The more she explores her own backyard and beyond, the more firmly convinced she is that there are fascinating stories to be discovered in every corner of our country.

Bill Zuk wrote “Magnetic North.” Zuk has ten books in publication and has worked on eighteen documentary films. An associate historian with the Royal Canadian Air Force, and also a director of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society and the Air Cadet League of Canada (Manitoba), Zuk led efforts to create statues in honour of a pair of Manitoba pilots — one a First World War flying ace, the other a Second World War bomber crew member — each of whom received the Victoria Cross.
