Murray Ault was born, raised, and educated in Ottawa, Ontario, where he taught history and economics for more than thirty years. He holds degrees from Carleton University and the University of Waterloo. After retiring from the Ottawa Board of Education in 1996, he accepted an invitation by Statistics Canada to develop and write a case study for publication on their education website, utilizing the data program, ESTAT: An Analysis of a Colonial Industry: Shipbuilding in Nova Scotia, 1861. He also assisted in the administration of "The Teachers' Institute in Parliamentary Democracy," a program sponsored by the Speakers of the House of Commons and Senate and the Parliamentary Library. His interest in the Canadian North has continued unabated since that summer of 1959 when he served as cabin steward aboard the C.D. Howe. See less
