Ken has served as chair of the Public Lending Right Commission and is a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and the Explorers Club. His keen interest in all things Canadian and his larger-than-life personality have created a high demand for his public speaking engagements across the country. He teaches narrative non-fiction at the University of Toronto and in the MFA program at the University of King’s College in Halifax. Every summer, Ken voyages in the Northwest Passage as an author-historian with Adventure Canada.
