Ancel Maynard Bezanson was born in Nova Scotia September 1, 1878 and began his love affair with the Peace Country in 1906. That year he traveled throughout the Peace with a camera and a notebook, and shortly thereafter published The Peace River Trails, which was a success. He was convinced of the agricultural potential of the area, and returned for a scouting trip in 1907, and again with his bride, Dorothy Robillard, in 1908. That winter, Dorothy died in childbirth, but her child (Frank) survived. In 1910, Bezanson married Dorothy's sister Lois and the couple returned to the Peace Country. The couple lost twin girls and had one more son who survived (Jim). The Bezanson Ranch was called Teepee Ranch, but Bezanson also kept herds of cattle at Saskatoon Lake. When the C.N.R. Survey came through Teepee Ranch in 1908, Bezanson began to promote a townsite "along the railway" on a bench above the Smoky River. In 1913, Bezanson drove the first car over the Edson Trail. Accompanying him was A.J. Davidson, a real estate dealer from Edmonton, who supported Bezanson's vision of a railroad and town. In 1914 Bezanson published "Looking Ahead in the Peace Country-Building of a City" with a detailed map of the Bezanson townsite. However, when the railroad finally came in 1916, it came to Grande Prairie. Bitterly disappointed, Bezanson left the area, returning to settle at Pouce Coupe in 1931. His sons Frank and Jim, with their families, continue to make their home in British Columbia.

Audrey Alexandra Brown was born in Nanaimo, British Columbia in 1904 to an amateur historian and watchmaker, Joseph Miller Brown (1867-1942), and his wife, Rosa Elizabeth Rumming (1872-1960). The fifth child in a family of eight, Brown was first educated at St. Ann's Convent from April 1912 to September 1913 and at Nanaimo Public School from March 1915 to February 1917. A keen reader, she wrote her first verse at the age of six. At the age of twenty-three, she was struck by rheumatic fever; for most of the next decade, she was either bedridden or in a wheelchair, crippled by arthritic pains. She undertook treatment at the Queen Alexandra Solarium (Mill Bay) beginning in November 1934, where surgery restored her ability to walk. Although she published her first piece locally at the age of 16, her writing career took off in 1928, when she was "discovered" by Professor Pelham Edgar of Victoria College (University of Toronto), who was responsible for promoting her career from 1928 to 1939. Her first book of poetry, A DRYAD IN NANAIMO (1931), led to four more volumes of poetry as well as one prose work, THE LOG OF A LAME DUCK (1937). She also published her poetry and prose in various newspapers and journals. A freelance journalist from 1926 onwards, she often used the pseudonym "the Khoji" in the NANAIMO FREE PRESS. Prominent admirers of her work included former Prime Minister Robert Borden (with whom she corresponded from 1934 until his death in 1936) and Lorne Pierce. She received the first tangible reward for her work with the Members Memorial Medal of the Canadian Women's Press Club in 1936. This was followed by the Lorne Pierce Medal from the Royal Society of Canada (1944), the Order of Canada (1968), and the Centennial Silver Medal (1967). During her later years, she received support from the Canadian Writers' Foundation. She was involved with various organizations, including the Canadian Authors Association and visited England (from June to December of 1950) as a guest of PEN. Audrey Alexandra Brown died in Victoria in 1998.

Charles Bruce was born in Port Shoreham, Nova Scotia, in 1906. His parents, William Henry and Sarah Tory Bruce, were descended from a long line of Nova Scotia residents as far back as the American Revolution in the late 1700s. During his college years in Sackville, New Brunswick, Bruce was editor of the Argosy, a campus publication. Upon graduation in 1927 he privately published his first book of poems and sonnets, Wild Apples. That same year he joined the staff of a newspaper in Halifax, transferring soon thereafter to the Canadian Press news bureau where he would spend the remainder of his career. Bruce worked as a journalist in Halifax until 1933, then relocated to the Toronto office, where he served for the next 30 years as editor, war correspondent, and, ultimately, as general superintendent. He was married in 1929 to Agnes King; the couple had four children, one of whom, Harry, became a successful nonfiction writer.
The onset of World War II was to have a profound effect on Bruce’s personal life, as well as on his subsequent poetry. Sent to the front as a war correspondent in 1944, Bruce survived a crash-landing in Belgium and was listed for 24 hours as missing in action. Both Personal Note, and Grey Ship Moving consist of poetic meditations on lives interrupted by war. In the title poem of Grey Ship Moving, the narration follows a discussion between four Canadian officers on their way from Halifax to England aboard the troopship Sappho. Wainright noted that the volume is also significant because “the essential aspect ... is that in it Bruce includes those poems he began to write in the late 1930s, poems in which he broke away from his traditional manner of writing verse.”
Although most often recognized for his poetry, Bruce also wrote a successful novel, The Channel Shore (1954). Set in a farming-fishing town, the story follows events from 1919 through 1946 in a family linked to the land through time and change. The main character, Alan Marshall, discovers the secret of his birth, and thereby finds his loyalties challenged. Winding throughout the narrative is the everpresent Channel Shore—the region and the people—reflecting and inspiring Alan’s devotion to both land and family. The exploration of relationships, is central to the story, as Wainwright observed: “The influence of individual experience is tempered by the heritage of community. ... with the universal theme of human kinship.”
Bruce’s last book, News and the Southams, is an historical account of the Southam Press, written during the author’s retirement from the Canadian Press. Bruce died in 1971 in Toronto, Ontario. Several of his works have been republished posthumously, including 1980s editions of The Channel Shore and The Township of Time.

The Bruce Publishing Company was founded by William George Bruce. It published journals as well as books in education, history, religion and technical topics. Bruce's sons William Conrad Bruce and Frank Milton Bruce came into the business. William maintained the title of president until his death.
In 1914, the company launched Industrial Arts and Vocational Education, the shop teachers' professional magazine, and three years later began publishing technical books. Both initiatives were spurred by Bruce's conviction that technical training was vital to America's progress.
The publishing firm operated for 77 years until it was purchased in 1968 by Crowell Collier and McMillan. During that time it had published 2,000 books as well as numerous journals, magazines and pamphlets. For many years it had been considered the largest Catholic publishing firm in the world.

He left this post in 1959 to begin a new career as Canada's ambassador: first in Spain, then in Morocco, then in Argentina (with accreditation in Uruguay and Paraguay). Some extraordinary missions to the Vatican, Ivory Coast, Upper Volta and Niger were added to his regular diplomatic activities.

Wilfed Charles was born in Port Hilford, Nova Scotia December 18, 1904. He was inspired to pursue a musical career at the age of ten when his father, a Baptist Minister, took him to see a touring Swiss vaudeville artist known as ‘The Yodeling Fool.’ Working as a lumberjack during his teen years, Wilf decided to move to Alberta in the early 1920’s to pursue his dream of becoming a cowboy and rodeo performer. Carter began his career by entertaining at dances, camps, bunkhouses, and house parties. At age 20, he joined the Canadian rodeo circuit, where he mixed competing with singing. By 1929, Carter had moved to Calgary and, after a stint singing for money in the street, he landed a job with a Calgary radio station, CFCN (‘The Voice of the Prairies’) singing one night each week. He was later heard locally on CFAC, and nationally on the CRBC. By then, Carter had taken up the guitar, which he taught himself. Two years later, Wilf sang as a trail rider for the Canadian Pacific Railway treks in the Canadian Rockies. The CPR was so impressed by his performances he was invited to perform on the maiden voyage of the S.S. Empress of Britain in 1933. While on his way to the Empress of Britain, he stopped at a small studio in Montreal, Quebec to record My Swiss Moonlight Lullaby and The Capture of Albert Johnson (based on a real-life murder hunt). By the time he returned from the voyage, the two sides were pressed and released by RCA Victor as Wilf Carter’s first recording. It was a bestseller in 1934 and became the first hit record ever by a Canadian country performer. In 1935, Carter ventured to New York, where, as ‘Montana Slim’ (a name he picked up when the typist transcribing lyrics attached it to him), he was a host for two US radio country music shows on the CBS and NBC networks. In 1937, he married Bobbi Bryan, a Pennsylvania-born nurse, returned to Calgary and continued his broadcasting career on CBC Radio. Carter recorded prolifically between 1933-1940, released more than 40 original and compilation LPs during his lengthy career, and wrote several hundred songs best known for their cowboy, hobo, and prairie imagery. He enjoyed an international reputation as far a-field as Australia, where he once toured. A devastating automobile accident in 1940 left Carter inactive for nine years; his popularity sustained by the periodic release of new recordings throughout the 1940’s. In 1949, Carter resumed live performance with tours in Canada and the USA. With his daughters Sheila and Carol as back-up singers and dancers, Wilf went on the road as ‘The Family Show With The Folks You Know’ in 1953. He performed at the Calgary Stampede for the very first time in 1964. Carter went into semi-retirement in Florida in the late 1960’s, although he continued to record and perform occasionally. Some of his later RCA sides, although intended for the Canadian market, did get released in America. Carter died of stomach cancer two weeks short of his 92nd birthday on December 5, 1996 in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Association Hall of Fame in 1971, Juno Awards Hall of Fame in 1985, the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 1989, and teh Canadian Songwriter Hall of Fame in 2007.

He commuted to Toronto for organ lessons 1925-9 with Healey Willan and began advanced piano study in 1928 with Ernest Seitz. That same year he began 21 years of teaching at the Toronto Conservatory of Music. In the 1930s he and Scott Malcolm formed a piano duo that played frequently in Toronto, toured North America, and appeared in New York and London. In 1940 he began five years' study with the noted French pedagogue and Debussy pupil E. Robert Schmitz, at the same time embarking on a solo career. During those years he gave Canadian premieres of works by Prokofiev (Seventh Piano Sonata, 1944; Third Piano Concerto, with the TSO, 1945), Shostakovich, and Copland. He also premiered the works of several Canadians, notably Somers (Strangeness of Heart, 1943; Etude, Dark and Light, Flights of Fancy, Arrangement, Moon Haze, 1945; Testament of Youth: Sonata No. 1, 1946; Solitudes, 1947) and Weinzweig (Piano Sonata, on 'CBC Wednesday Night,' 1951).
