Lucille Campey was born in Ottawa Canada and moved to England following her marriage to Geoff. Having trained as a scientist, she later entered the world of politics when she became an adviser to a cabinet minister during the John Major years. An ongoing love of history led her into another world around twenty years ago. Having obtained a PhD on Scottish immigration to Canada from the University of Aberdeen, she went on to write eight books on the subject all published in Canada by Dundurn. She then went on to write three similar books on Canada’s English immigrants (see www.englishtocanada.com ). She has recently completed the last of a three book series on the Irish (see www.irishtocanada.com)..

In 2016 she was awarded the prestigious Prix du Quebec by the Quebec government in recognition of her ongoing contribution to Canadian immigration studies. You can contact Lucille at lucille@scotstocanada.com
