At the Centre: with The Very Rev Ken Gray

An Online Speaker Series with program leaders at Naramata Centre

Naramata Centre is privileged to attract inspiring and exceptional program leaders from across Canada with a diversity of backgrounds. In this series we will share time and conversation with leaders that are new to our Naramata community. It will be an opportunity to become better acquainted with the work they do, experience they bring and their upcoming program offerings at the Centre.

This Month our guest speaker is: The Very Rev Ken Gray

Born and raised in Victoria BC, music, ministry, photography and activism have all characterized the busy life of this recently retired Dean of St. Paul’s Cathedral in Kamloops.

An avid photographer, Ken recently retired as president of the Kamloops Photo Arts Club which he invigorated and inspired throughout the pandemic. Legally blind since birth, Ken’s presentation Blinded by the Light has been well received by many clubs and groups, including a collection of Canadian blind photographers. 

His ability to integrate the technical aspects of photography with majesty, mystery and mastery is acknowledged by many. He loves life, people, landscape, experience, language, learning and discovery. He loves helping others on their own unique journeys of discovery. 

He is a recent contest award winner with the Canadian Association of Photographic Artists. Recent publications include The Walrus magazine.
