Sid Marty
Sid Marty is a Canadian writer born in 1944,[1][2] who has written five non-fiction books and three poetry books, and also is a singer.[3] Many of his books reflect the time he spent as a park warden for Parks Canada between 1966 and 1978 in Yoho, Jasper, Prince Albert and Banff national parks.[4] Marty grew up in Medicine Hat and Calgary, and now lives in Pincher Creek. He received an undergraduate degree from Sir George Williams University.[5] His three poetry collections are Headwaters, Nobody Danced with Miss Rodeo and Sky Humour; The Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek won the Grand Prize of the Banff Mountain Book Festival in 2008.
