For close to 40 years, Perry Rosemond has been a creative force whose work with the CBC has left a lasting imprint on Canadian television. As a director and producer, he has used his many talents to educate us, to entertain us and to make us laugh. Some of our most beloved programs are found among his long list of credits, including Mr. Dressup, The King of Kensington, Hockey Night in Canada and the Royal Canadian Air Farce. Tireless in his support of Humber College's School of Comedy, he has helped Canada's first post-secondary program of its type to grow and flourish.
