M. Blake Butler

Originally from Mississauga, I now live in Vancouver. I am the descendant of Irish, English, Greek, and Polish immigrants to Canada. I have been a member of NiCHE since 2020 and am currently an editor and book review co-editor. Outside of NiCHE, I am a member of the Protect Our Winters Canada Science Alliance and am employed as a historian and project manager with Know History, Inc., a historical services firm based in Ottawa. I have been a member of the research team supporting the Yukon Residential Schools Missing Children Project since February 2023. My personal research examines Canadian and environmental histories, with an emphasis on winter-based topics. My doctoral dissertation explored the history of snow in Vancouver between the mid-nineteenth century and the end of the twentieth century.
