Bryce</strong><br> <em>Click to enlarge</em></font></h3> </center></td> </tr> </table> <p>Born on a farm near Mount Pleasant, Ontario, on 22 April 1844, a year after his parents had immigrated to Canada from Scotland. He received what was, for the times, a good education, at the high school in nearby Brantford, the University of Toronto, and Knox College, where his success as a student was marked with medals and scholarships. He was an athlete, playing on the college football team. He had served as a militia volunteer during the Fenian troubles of 1866 and was present at the disastrous Canadian defeat at Ridgeway.</p> <p>As a young Presbyterian minister, Bryce was part of the influx of Ontario immigrants who came to Manitoba after the collapse of Riel’s <a href="provisional.shtml">Provisional Government</a> in 1870. He was selected in 1871 by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church to come west to Red River to organize a Presbyterian college and a new church. He set up <a href="../sites/manitobacollege.shtml">Manitoba College</a> in the same year and taught there until 1909. In 1872 he founded <a href="../sites/knoxunitedwinnipeg.shtml">Knox Church</a>, the first Presbyterian church in <a href="/docs/municipalities/winnipeg.shtml">Winnipeg</a>. He was also one of the founders of the <a href="/docs/organization/universitywinnipeg.shtml">University of Manitoba</a>, and taught science on the University faculty and served on the University Council until his retirement in 1904.</p> <p>Bryce was one of the founders and he served two terms as <a href="mhspresidents.shtml">President of the Manitoba Historical and Scientific Society</a> - once from 1884 to 1887, and again from 1905 to 1913. He was a prolific author who wrote nine books and forty or fifty pamphlets as well as numerous sermons and speeches. He delivered 30 papers before the Historical and Scientific Society of Manitoba alone, on topics as diverse as geology, archaeology, and Red River history. In 1902 his scholarship gained national recognition when he was elected to the Royal Society of Canada. In 1910 he served as the Royal Society’s President and he was also a member of many other learned societies. In November 1921, he was awarded an <a href="../organization/universitymanitoba.shtml#honorary">honorary degree by the University of Manitoba</a>.</p> <p>In his later years, after the death of his wife <a href="bryce_m.shtml">Marion Bryce</a>, he grew frail and moved back to Ontario to live with his brother, Dr. P. H. Bryce, in Ottawa. He died there, largely forgotten, on 5 August 1931 and was buried in the <a href="/docs/sites/kildonanpresbyteriancemetery.shtml">Kildonan Presbyterian Cemetery</a>. He is commemorated by <a href="../winnipegstreets/index.shtml">Bryce Avenue</a> in Winnipeg, and <a href="../manitobaschools/index.shtml#bryce">Bryce Hall</a> (with a <a href="../sites/bryce_g.shtml">commemorative plaque</a>) at the <a href="/docs/organization/universitywinnipeg.shtml">University of Winnipeg</a>.

calls to action made by the National Commission for Truth and Reconciliation. We also understand that before real change can happen, the truth must be revealed, and only then can we make the path clear for reconciliation. Our organization is committed to help educate, support, preserve, and promote Indigenous, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit histories, traditions, languages, and culture through our publications and online resources. We can help to address the systemic racism, discrimination, and marginalization that has been experienced by Indigenous communities in Canada.</p> <p>The Manitoba Historical Society office is located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.</p> </div> </div> <div class="footer-menu has-white-color"> <div class="menu-footer-menu-container"><ul id="footer-menu" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-112" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-112"><a href="https://mhs.ca/terms-conditions/">Terms & Conditions</a></li> <li id="menu-item-111" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-111"><a href="https://mhs.ca/about-us/faqs/">FAQS</a></li> <li id="menu-item-113" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-113"><a href="https://mhs.ca/get-involved/donate/">Donate</a></li> <li id="menu-item-5701" class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-product_cat menu-item-5701"><a href="https://mhs.ca/product-category/membership/">Join / Subscribe</a></li> </ul></div> </div> <div class="follow-us"> <h2>FOLLOW US</h2> <div class="social-links has-white-color"> <a class="link" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/manitobahistory"><img src="/images/twitter.svg" alt="twitter" /></a> <a class="link" target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/c/ManitobaHistoricalSociety/videos"><img src="/images/youtube.svg" alt="youtube" /></a> <a class="link" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/manitobahistory/"><img src="/images/instagram.svg" alt="instagram" /></a> <a class="link" target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/manitobahistory"><img src="/images/facebook-f.svg" alt="facebook" /></a> <a class="link" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@manitobahistory"><img src="/images/tiktok.svg" alt="tiktok" /></a> </div> <div class="registration">BN: 122814601RR0001</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="alignfull"> <div class="site-info has-black-color"> Copyright © 2025 Manitoba Historical Society · <a href="https://mhs.ca/privacy-policy">PRIVACY POLICY</a> · <a href="https://mhs.ca/terms-conditions">TERMS</a> </div> </div> </footer> </table> </body> </html>
