An Introduction

As you can tell my name is David Bethune and I would like to tell you a bit about myself.

I was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and grew up in a small village just outside Montreal.  I came to Ontario in 1985 to build houses and have been here ever since.

In my life I have been a Sunday School Teacher, a Camp Councillor for children with cerebral palsy, a landscaper, a construction contractor, a real estate agent, a business man and now an elementary school teacher.

Teaching was something I had wanted to do right out of university but financial constraints made me put it on hold. It may have come late but better late than never and now I am excited to start the next chapter of my life.

I attended the University of Wollongong in 2003 and graduated with a Graduate Diploma in Education.  My first year of teaching was full of discovery and learning. I taught a Year 4 and a Year 1 class, or maybe I should say they taught me, in outback Australia.

I am currently back in Canada looking for my next challenge.

Please take a look around and feel free to email me with any questions or comments.
