Author Bio for Bryce, Peter Henderson
Peter Henderson Bryce (1853-1932) was a Canadian government health inspector who visited residential schools in the early part of the 20th century and reported on the conditions under which the schools were run. He found that extremely poor sanitary conditions were leading to a high rate of disease and death mainly due to tuberculosis, a very preventable disease. He produced a report which the Canadian government refused to publish and they quietly terminated his employment. Bryce in turn published the report at his own expense but it received little recognition at the time. He is buried at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa and his gravesite is frequently visited by native Canadians who honour his whistleblowing efforts.
