        History

        Roger Belanger, photographer and film maker, was born in Nouvelle, Quebec, Canada in 1935. He joined the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) as a photographer and was posted in Europe until 1960, when he was transferred to R.C.A.F. base Greenwood, Nova Scotia, Canada. In 1965 Belanger retired from the R.C.A.F. to join the Photographic Division of the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Halifax NS. During his time at the Bedford Institute Belanger did some film work, in addition to his work as a photographer. He worked on several documentary productions, including "Hudson '70" (co-production with the National Film Board of Canada) and a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation documentary about a hydrographic survey expedition to the Canadian Arctic. Belanger became involved with the Nova Iceboat Club, founded by Richard Vine, one of Belanger's friends during his time in Halifax NS. Roger Belanger retired from the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in 1991. His death date is unknown.
