Brad Barnes

Brad was born in 1954 in St. Thomas Ontario and moved to Alberta in 1976 where he worked many jobs before embarking on a career in corrections. Brad has always had a penchant for writing and photography and contributed to numerous magazines and newspapers in those capacities throughout his adult life. After meeting his grandfather for the first time in 1993, and discovering then that he was a British Home Child, Brad was compelled to write 'The Reluctant Canadian.'
