Holly Dressel Biography

Best-selling author and researcher Holly Dressel has become one of Canada's most recognized names in environmental studies, health care history and practices, economic concerns and aboriginal issues.

Dressel is best known for her work with celebrated environmentalist David Suzuki on film and radio programs and books. She was the producer, researcher and co-writer with Dr. Suzuki of the eight-hour CBC radio special, From Naked Ape to Super-species, which sold more copies than any other series in CBC history. Dressel and Suzuki then co-wrote a best-selling book by the same title, and followed up with another, Good News for a Change. Their latest book, More Good News: Real Solutions to the Global Eco-Crisis, was published in May 2010. In addition to her extensive involvement with environmental subjects, Dressel published Who Killed the Queen? The Story of a Community Hospital and How to Fix Health Care. It address controversies and explodes many myths about health services, including doctor shortages, funding options and wait times, and was nominated for six national and international awards, including the Grand Prix du Livre, the Governor General's Award and the Charles Taylor Award for non-fiction. She is working on her next publication, due out in 2011.

Dressel graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Indiana University with two honours bachelor’s  degrees in art history and English literature.  She was a Fulbright Scholar with a full grant to France and holds a Masters in English from Simon Fraser University. She is now an adjunct professor at the McGill School of the Environment. Dressel became a writer, producer and broadcaster for CBC radio and a writer/researcher at the National Film Board in the 1980s, and has gained national prominence through her work, especially on television documentary. Her production credits include several specials broadcast on CBC's The Nature of Things, many other CBC and National Film Board works, as well as programs and series broadcast on the National Geographic Channel, CTV, PBS and Global television.

Dressel was on the Board of the Sierra Club of Canada until June of 2009, has written extensively for newspapers, magazines and is a contributing editor for the U.S.-based Yes! Magazine. She is often interviewed as an expert by documentary film series and news specials on many controversial, current issues, including dam building, genetic engineering, water management and habitat preservation. 

She is in demand as a lecturer at CEGEPs and universities and has delivered her popular speeches for audiences such as the Vancouver Public Library's Necessary Voices series, the Alberta Health Services Association, the International Association of Historic Landscape Preservation, the Green Party of Canada, the Association of Ontario Midwives’ and the Canadian Museum of Nature.

At McGill, Dressel is involved with countless projects including working with the School and the Wemindji Cree to establish a major preservation zone in northern Quebec. She is involved in campus and local food issues as well as water and habitat preservation, in the two latter cases with the Traditional Council of the Kahnawake Mohawk and local grassroots groups in southern Quebec. She was a researcher on the recent feature documentary on the Alberta tarsands, H2Oil, as well as on a ten-hour radio series with David Suzuki for CBC’s The Current, called “The Bottomline,” to be broadcast in July of 2010.
