Behind the Glory

Ted Barris divides his time between teaching at Toronto’s Centennial College in the journalism department and writing/ broadcasting professionally. His work on CBC and TVO is well known (he has earned a Billboard Radio Documentary Award and numerous ACTRA Award nominations) and his bylines appear in such publications as the National Post and Globe and Mail, and the Legion, Beaver, and Air Force magazines. He has published 16 non-fiction books. In 1993, he received the Canada 125 Medal “for service to Canada and community.” In 2004, the Remembrance Service Association of Halifax recognized Ted Barris and his military history writing with its annual Patriot Award. In 2006, the 78th Fraser Highlander regiment awarded Barris its annual excellence award, the Bear Hackle Award, to recognize his “contribution to the awareness and preservation of Canadian military history and traditions.”
