About
Peter Mansbridge
La plupart des Canadiens connaissent bien Peter Mansbridge, l’ancien présentateur de The National, le bulletin de nouvelles phare de la CBC, ainsi que l’un des principaux correspondants de CBC News pendant de nombreuses années. Au cours de sa carrière, il a reçu plus d’une douzaine de distinctions nationales pour l’excellence de son travail en journalisme télévisé, notamment une reconnaissance pour l’ensemble de sa carrière décernée par l’Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television.
Il est officier de l’Ordre du Canada, récipiendaire de la Médaille du jubilé de diamant de la reine Elizabeth II, et membre émérite de la Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy de l’Université de Toronto. Il a également été chancelier de l’Université Mount Allison pendant deux mandats.
Ses trois livres précédents — Off the Record, Extraordinary Canadians et Peter Mansbridge One on One: Favourite Conversations and the Stories Behind Them — ont tous été des best-sellers nationaux. Il participe à StoryFest pour la toute première fois, et nous fait le plaisir de venir à Hudson depuis sa résidence de Stratford.
