Bruce's Story

Life My Spouse My girl friend's best friend. Met her with my girl friend after their work and then at a party. My Pets We had three dogs but liver cancer took one. Old age took the second, an Australian shepherd and last year the surviving hound/duck toller cross is 13 and succumbed a tumour on his bladder. We lasted 9 months before getting a 2.5 year old rescue dog from the Humane Society ... he makes us laugh. My Kids Three boys 1 a civil engineer now 39 2 an aerospace engineer now 35 3 a graduate in electronic technology and a mechanic 28 Highlights We lived outside Paris for three years while I worked for the Nuclear Energy Agency of the OECD. It was a fantastic experience and part of growing up as an adult. My Job I was a policy manager with a background in geology and economics and a manager of a small team of professionals with varying backgrounds. In 2002, I led a team which prepared legislation for Canada to participate in the Kimberley Process to exclude world trade in rough diamopnds from conflict areas. In 200...Expand for more
4, I was a member of a team that went to the Republic of Congo to determine whether they were enforcing their laws to comply with the Kimbereley Process. Very scary business to threaten to shut down the diamond trade in a country like the ROC. On the basis of our mission, ROC was removed from the Kimberley Process. Afterward I went into semi-retirement and worked for the Canadian Steel Producers Association and Roskill Ltd., but am now happily unemployed. Our interest is in motorcycling and we have each bought new bikes in the last few years. When will global warming give us a longer riding season? College University was the natural next step ... so I went and majored in chemistry, cards and socializing. After bombing first year, I went to work full time in a geochem lab. A year later, I went back with geology as a major. My girlfriend started university that year. After my Christmas exams, we were married. University was being married raising a family and coping. I didn't realize how great the experience was until years later.
