Biography

Bree was funny, witty, with a crazy off the wall sense of humor that sometimes got her in trouble. When applying for Journalism school her interviewer wondered where the name Bree came from. She quipped, "Oh, my parents named me after a prostitute." (It's true! We loved the name of Jane Fonda's character in "Klute"). When the interviewer didn't crack a smile Bree was convinced she had blown her chances.

Her first job in TV was with Utopia Cafe in Regina; then a plum internship with Discovery Channel in Toronto, which resulted in a job offer. Always a prairie girl at heart, she packed her bags, leaving the "land of the living skies" behind and headed off to the big city in her Honda Prelude.

Bree's determination, attention to detail and work ethic resulted in her becoming an Emmy nominated senior media executive and innovative content producer. Among her many successes (Late Night Eats, Vintage Tech Hunters, History in the Making, Custom Built, Disaster Decks, Rude: Where Are Our Manners) she's especially known for Beyond Corner Gas: Tales from Dog River (2005), Decked Out (2011) and Property Brothers Forever Home (2019).

In spite of the continuous rounds of drugs, chemo, radiation and endless appointments, Bree focused on positivity and gratitude. She was unfailingly kind and appreciative to everyone. She ate healthily, walked regularly, (especially cherishing time at the beaches), journaled, meditated and took art therapy classes online. Her aim was to get back to the job she loved at Scott Brothers Entertainment, to spend quality time with her family and friends and to grow old gracefully.
