Brian Olson is a teacher by inclination and training. He received his Bachelor of Education degree from the
University of Regina, and was a classroom teacher, Vice-Principal, Principal and school division administrator for
30 years spanning 1974-2004. During that time, Brian focused his teaching on senior science programs,
especially biology. In his role as a biology teacher Brian instilled in his students a wonder of their natural
environment and introduced them to the fascinating world of insects.
In his commitment to personal and professional growth, Brian obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from the
University of Regina in 2000. His keen eye for detail led him to take a science class in scientific illustration by
distance from the University of Nebraska from 2001-2005. Brian has numerous published illustrations to his
credit. He drew the illustrations for the book Grasshopper Identification and Control : Methods to Protect Crops
and the Environment, written by Dan Johnston of the University of Lethbridge and published by AAFC and Sask
Pulse Growers. In 2006 Brian obtained a Master of Science degree with a specialization in Entomology from the
University of Nebraska in the subject area of grasshopper diversity in disturbed habitats (oilfield reclamation). As
an example of “Once a teacher, always a teacher”, Brian was contracted by the Graduate Studies Department of
the University of Nebraska to develop an evaluation instrument which would be administered to all potential
graduates as a pre-requisite to granting a M.Sc. in Entomology.
Besides introducing students to the fascination of insects, Brian has furthered the knowledge of entomology in
Canada by working with Dan Johnson in a survey of knowledge of entomological species in the Great Sand Hills
of Saskatchewan –Alberta. His broad knowledge of biological systems was recognized when he recently served as
the Integrated Pest Management Specialist with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture. Brian is truly a
renaissance man. Prior to his 30 year career as a biology teacher, Brian was an instructor in weaponry and the
outdoors to recruits in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves; there he specialized in the subjects of mines, high –
explosives, and chemical and biological warfare. He has been a fur trapper, municipal weed inspector, pest
control officer, and hail adjuster for a hail company, where he developed new methods in determining hail loses
in lentils. He oversaw the establishment of insects for the biological control of leafy spurge in a Saskatchewan
municipality. Brian worked for the Biology Department of the University of Regina one season, establishing a
biology field station at Fort Walsh, Saskatchewan. In the process of cataloguing the natural history of the area, he
fenced approximately 10 km of bush land. This experience may have whetted his appetite for wood work; Brian
is an experienced house contractor, and has built a log house from cutting and peeling logs to completely
finishing the home.
Brian is an active member of the Saskatchewan Natural History Society, the Canadian Wildlife Federation, and
the World Wildlife fund, where he is a member of the Operation Rescue Team for Endangered Wildlife.
Brian Olson is the quintessential field naturalist, and is well deserving of the Norman Criddle Award for 2014.

8-11th involving most of the high school
students. Please note that the missed

exam week with the last day of classes

Exams will take place for the grades 10-12
students on January 28 and 29. Please
ensure that your high school aged
students are supported in their
preparation for exams. They tell me that
pre-exam massages might be in order so
that might be one way to help them with
their preparation!
Have an amazing month – there’s no
excuse for boredom, that’s for sure!
