Since February, 2003, Bruce Gravel’s light-hearted stories have delighted readers of the Peterborough Examiner newspaper, the Globe & Mail newspaper, and Maclean’s magazine, among other magazines and newspapers in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. His family-friendly wit is suitable for most ages. His first book, Humour on Wry, with Mustard, was published in 2008. His second book and first humour novel, Inn-Sanity: Diary of an Innkeeper Virgin, was published in September 2009.

He has been President of the Ontario Accommodation Association since 1985, Canada’s largest non-profit provincial association specializing in innkeepers, headquartered in Peterborough. He authored the association’s widely- used Innkeeper’s Reference Book, now in its 4th edition.

His community volunteer work includes Chairing the charitable Peterborough Public Library Foundation, and serving in the Peterborough Rotary Club.

Bruce is available for public speaking engagements. He has addressed many diverse audiences: Rotary clubs, associations, seniors clubs, college and university students. Popular topics include: "Why Innkeepers go Grey" and "Meetings Etiquette: What NOT to do".
