Peter Henderson Bryce: A Man of Conscience
Dr. Peter Henderson Bryce was a pioneer of public health and sanitation policy in Canada. As medical health officer for the Department of Indian Affairs, Bryce had found that large numbers of First Nations children were dying each year due to conditions in Residential Schools and lack of tuberculosis treatment from 1904 to 1921.
