Hi fellow Wikipedian, I'm a new to Wiki parental unit. I'm a Canadian communications and database professional with a Masters degree from University of Western Ontario and Army command and control background. I have a few young adult children who understand the Wiki world better than I do, but I do have a lifelong interest in Canadian history. I have a couple of pre-Confederation Canadiana bibliographies published through the [then--National Library of Canada] Library and Archives Canada. In a former life I worked for the National Library of Canada in technology. I spend summers running with our German Shepherds and generally enjoying time travelling around Canada. My favorite Canadian places are: Winters I spend enjoying the spectacular winter wonderland of Eastern Ontario and a bit of consulting in the command and control world.
 * Toefield, Alberta (not too far from Viking, Alberta)
 * Fairmont, British Columbia (an hours drive from the Columbia Ice Fields)
 * Wainwright, Alberta (pretty amazing on the base when the bison are mating)
 * Georgian Bay area of Ontario--particularly Owen Sound home of our German Shepherds.

My areas of interest are as you might expect -- pre-Confederation Canadiana. I've written an article on
 * John Davis Barnett
 * Bytown Mechanics' Institute
 * Huron Tract
 * Nathaniel Currie (Ontario politician)
 * Absalom Greeley

stub article on:
 * Ellice Swamp
 * Frederick Widder

and contributed significantly to
 * William "Tiger" Dunlop,MP
 * Robert Graham Dunlop,MP
 * Canada Company
 * Family Compact
