Nations are built from the relationship between a country's unique physical features and the people who live in and around them. Canada is a most spectacular example of such a glorious marriage. Mr. Berton was born in 1920 and raised in the Yukon, working in Klondike mining camps during his university years. He spent four years in the Army, rising from private to captain/instructor at the Royal Military College in Kingston. He spent his early newspaper career in Vancouver, where at 21 he was the youngest city editor on any Canadian daily. He moved to Toronto in 1947, and at the age of 31 was named managing editor of MacleanÆs, CanadaÆs largest magazine. In 1957 he became a key member of the CBCÆs public affairs flagship program, Close-Up, and was a permanent member panelist on Front Page Challenge, which ran for 38 years. He joined the Toronto Star as associate editor and columnist in 1958, leaving in 1962 to commence his own television program, The Pierre Berton Show, which ran until 1973. Then he appeared as host and writer on My Country, The Great Debate, Heritage Theatre, and The Secret of My Success. He wrote a series of books entitled Adventures in Canadian History live for 12 to 14 year olds. He was the first recipient of the Pierre Berton Award from CanadaÆs National History Society. He passed away in 2004.
