From a community access & media training base, George Lessard creates in print, broadcast radio & TV and educational media.
A Kodak Brownie box camera in his hands at 12, encouragement from a family of artists, opened up at a beginning back at 1969's Montreal's first English language CEGEP, Dawson College through with the unboxing of the student radio station's Revox stereo reel-to-reel tape recorders and a subsequent immersion in the dawn of Canadian community access radio at the then Radio McGill (now CKUT 90.3 FM https://www.ckut.ca/ ) where we were part of the enabling of Montreal's Radio Centre-Ville 102.3 FM (the city's first multilingual/cultural broadcast community station) https://radio-centreville.com/son-histoire/ and the fight for community access cable TV in Canada....
Two years as SENIOR AUDIO VISUAL TECHNICIAN - VANIER COLLEGE Snowdon Campus, Montrèal, Quèbec, George managed a multimedia production centre; created classroom audiovisuals & instructed the use & production of multi-camera live video, super 8, audio and black & white photography was his lead in to a stint as EDUCATIONAL MEDIA CONSULTANT & AUDIO VISUAL TECHNICIAN - CHATEAUGUAY VALLEY REGIONAL PROTESTANT SCHOOL BOARD Ormstown, Quèbec. George was responsible for the day to day operations; the software, hardware & allocation of capital equipment; maintenance & repair of all equipment; provided support services for about 125 high school and elementary school teachers & their students in this 6 school organization.
George's first exposure to the world outside Quebec was as MANAGER & TRAINER OF VOLUNTEERS - ROGERS CABLE TV, Toronto, Ontario where he taught all aspects of community TV production & managed the volunteer corps of Canada's largest access station.
Returning to Quebec's Arctic as MEDIA PRODUCTION & MANAGEMENT TRAINER for TAQRAMIUT NIPINGAT INC., Salluit, Nunavik where he taught all aspects of media production, scripting, construction and content & management at an Inuit owned and operated radio & TV broadcast centre that was one of the founding members of TVNC (TV Northern Canada) the immediate predecessor of the Aboriginal People's TV Network from late 1981 to 1988.
He then undertook a similar posting at the INUVIALUIT COMMUNICATIONS SOCIETY, Inuvik, N.W.T.
In 1992 George was offered the position of LECTURER at the COLLEGE OF THE BAHAMAS, Nassau, Bahamas, lecturing & providing hands on training for Journalism & Communications majors in Electronic News Gathering (ENG), Photojournalism, Business Communications and Introduction to Interpersonal & Small Group Communications.

This was his first work where he collaborated using the first Kou Nakajima "Aniputer" digital animation device outside of Japan The Aniputer was an animation device that combined a video camera and a personal computer. Using joysticks instead of a keyboard, artists used the Aniputer to create animation in real time without the need to know a programming language ...

I am an older gentleman now in retirement. I have paid my dues to the thieves in suits and hope that I can survive my remaining years while retaining whatever human(e)ity I have left. I don't take vaccines or meds and have not seen a Doctor in over 20 years and surprise, surprise, I am still very much alive and kicking.
