Nick Fonda has tried his hand at several trades and occupations between stints in Quebec’s public schools, where he taught almost everything from Kindergarten to Grade 11 English Literature. As a journalist, he has been recognized by the Quebec Community Newspaper Association, winning a number of awards for stories in areas as diversified as sports and business. He has published both non-fiction, Roads to Richmond, portraits of the Eastern Townships (2010), and fiction, Principals and Other Schoolyard Bullies (2011). He would prefer to consult directly with CEGEP teachers to ensure that his presentation is appropriate and thought-provoking for the class in question.
