Arthur (Art) Ronald Colbourne was born in Twillingate and grew up (as far as he grew, as he always says) in Stephenville. He was educated at St. Stephen’s High School and Memorial University, St. John’s. Art spent thirty–five years in various aspects of municipal administration throughout the Province. Art is a founding member and the first President of the Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Municipal Administrators and Honourary Member of Municipalities Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador and a Past President of the Newfoundland and Labrador Rural Development Council. He retired from the Provincial Government as an Assistant Deputy Minister of the Department of Municipal Affairs and lives in St. John’s with his wife Myra. Art calls himself an amateur artist, half-ass woodworker, story-teller, and all-around Mr. Fix-it, and now has the distinction of calling himself an author. What’s next??
