A Grammy-winning music producer who has established a studio in his ancestral home town of Winterton, Trinity Bay has been named as a Member to the Order of Canada.
Greg Wells, who grew up in Ontario and calls Los Angeles home, has deep roots in Trinity Bay and bought the old Anglican Church in Winterton after suddenly feeling compelled to check and see if the old United Church was available for sale.
Trinity Hall, Winterton.
As it turned out the old U.C. Church had just been sold, but the Anglican Church was for sale, and he bought it, sight unseen.
Wells has since turned the church into Trinity Hall, a recording and performance space in Winterton that he visits frequently.
Wells, who funds music scholarships in Canada and donates instruments to students around the world, found himself on the receiving end of charity with fundraising concerts held at the beginning of the year after he lost his home in the Los Angeles wildfires.
Among those named to the Order of Canada are Maureen McTeer, former Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Teresa Tam, and author Miriam Toews who were all named as Officers, with Wells and former world champion mixed martial artist Georges St.. Pierre among those named as Members.
