Carole MacDonald

Carole MacDonald has worked as a teacher, and in communications and community economic development with the Nova Scotia Government. In 2009, her book on her home town, Historic Glace Bay, was published by Nimbus Publishing in Halifax. Researching the book led to an interest in the life of Nova Scotia’s 11th premier, Gordon Harrington.  Col. Harrington had been a popular mayor of Glace Bay and deputy minister of Canadian Forces Overseas before entering politics in 1925 and becoming premier in 1930. Ms. MacDonald’s thesis, The Legacy of Gordon Sidney Harrington, 1909 to 1925 earned her a Master’s degree in Atlantic Canada Studies from Saint Mary’s University. Ms. MacDonald has a previous Bachelor of Arts in English and a Diploma in Education from Mount Saint Vincent University, as well as a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of King’s College. She continues to research the lives of Harrington and his wife, Katherine MacDonald.
