George Bushell

I specialized in geography and computer science at the University of Western Ontario (Honors Bachelor of Arts) and at the University of Toronto (Master of Arts) - received a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship.  I took courses in meteorology, climatology, glaciology and economics at that time and have kept up an interest in these areas of study even though I went into operational research when I graduated.  I worked as a consultant in the operational research groups at Canadian National Railways, Canada Post and the Federal Government before retiring.  Since retiring, I took some cosmology courses at Carleton University and at the University of Ottawa.

​

Over the years, I served as Chairman of the former Gloucester City’s Environmental Committee, was President of the Blackburn Community Assoc., served as President of the Gloucester Allotment Garden Assoc. for 33 years (one of Ottawa’s many community gardens), was a member of the Canadian Organic Growers (COG), gave presentations about eco-friendly yard care, composting, organic vegetable gardening, and served on the National Capital Commission’s Greenbelt Master Plan Advisory Committee.  I have written articles re global warming/climate change and produced a book on general relativity/quantum mechanics.
