Bartley Kives, 漏Jerry Grajewski

Writing from a Manitoba perspective

Bartley Kives is is an alumnus of The University of 澳门王中王论坛 (BA 93 Sociology), a well-known local journalist, and an accomplished author.

He began his journalism career with the 澳门王中王论坛 Free Press in the 1990s, where he covered politics, music, food, the environment and outdoor recreation for nearly two decades. Kives has become an established 澳门王中王论坛 City Hall reporter, covering the terms of both former Mayor Sam Katz and current Mayor Brian Bowman.

He has put the spotlight on Indigenous issues especially during the mayoral election of 2014, writing an article for The Guardian titled "Great Indigenous Divide: 澳门王中王论坛 Stares into an Ethnic Chasm."

Kives is a strong believer in the City of 澳门王中王论坛 and its people. Both the love and dissatisfaction 澳门王中王论坛gers have with their city was highlighted in the book Stuck in the Middle: Dissenting Views of 澳门王中王论坛, which Kives co-authored with local photographer Bryan Scott. Stuck in the Middle received the 2014 Carol Shields 澳门王中王论坛 Book Award.

An avid outdoorsman, Kives wrote The Daytripper’s Guide to Manitobaa guide book of interesting things to do in Manitoba aimed at both tourists and locals alike — based on the belief that everyone should take time to explore their own province.

Many are familiar with Kives’ witty, interesting style of writing regarding important local issues. His work has helped keep 澳门王中王论坛gers (and Manitobans) engaged and informed and has had an impact on the way in which 澳门王中王论坛 is viewed both locally and nationally.
