Robert Aubie

Robert Aubie was born in Bathurst, New Brunswick in 1945 and traces his Acadian roots back to Port Royal in the 1700s. He moved to Ontario and graduated from Teacher's College in 1964 and became a Teacher, Vice-Principal and Principal in the Catholic School System in North Bay. He was nominated and received the Marshal McLuchlan Distinguished Teacher Award in 1987 for outstanding contribution in the Communication Sciences. In 1971 his elementary students were among the first in the world to write and produce their own weekly television show on Cable TV and perhaps the first in the world (1984) to produce a school newspaper completely on the computer. He was among the first Canadians to receive this award. He retired from teaching in 1996 and is living in North Bay, Ontario.
