S2 E6 – Mark it Read – Breaking the Silence: Stuart Bruce, Entrepreneur and Chair of Dyslexia Canada

Diagnosed with dyslexia in Grade 3, Stuart Bruce received the right support and went on to build a successful career as an entrepreneur in the insurance industry. He is currently the Chairman of the Board and CEO of FIRST Insurance Funding of Canada. However, the more he learned, the more shocked he became to discover that 45 years later, children with dyslexia in Canada are still not consistently identified or given the support they need. In 2016, he joined forces with Keith Gray, founder of Dyslexia Canada, to advocate for equitable education for every child with dyslexia. Stuart became Dyslexia Canada's Chair in 2023.
