    Biographical history

    Robert (Bob) J.D. Page was born in 1940 in Toronto, Ontario and received his early education in North York. He received his B.A. and M.A., in history, at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. He held an Ontario Graduate Fellowship while attending Queen's. Upon completion of his Master's degree he was awarded a Mackenzie King Foundation travelling scholarship to pursue doctoral studies in Commonwealth history at St. John's College in Cambridge, England. He was awarded a scholarship by the Beit Foundation for Commonwealth Studies while he was at Oxford. He received his D.Phil. at Oxford.

    In 1967 he started teaching at Trent University as an Assistant Professor in History. He taught courses in Modern Imperialism in Africa and Late Victorian Canada. He was an Assistant Professor from 1967 to 1972, an Associate Professor from 1972 to 1982 and a Professor from 1982 to 1991.

    While he was at Trent University, Page was the department and program head for the Environmental and Resource Studies (ERS) Program from 1977 to 1981 and department and program head for Canadian Heritage and Development Studies with the Leslie M. Frost Centre from 1985 to 1986. In the ERS program he taught Canadian Resource Development. He was the coordinator for the Canadian Studies Program at Trent University; director of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council; and, chair of the Canadian Environmental Advisory Council from 1972 to 1992. He also participated in the Berger and National Energy Board Hearings regarding the MacKenzie Valley Pipeline. He chaired the northern pipeline efforts of the Committee for an Independent Canada from 1972 to 1977. He prepared evidence and appeared as a witness for the Native Brotherhood of the North West Territories before the Berger Inquiry.
