Pieri spent 30 years in the newsroom of The Toronto Star, Canada’s biggest newspaper. His interest in the often tragic lives of immigrants more than a century ago -- and The Star’s battles to help them – resulted in a life-long fascination with his city’s history. In 2005, Michael co-produced a TV documentary on publisher Joseph E. Atkinson – a Canadian hero – who crusaded for a kinder and fairer society for all. Michael is currently researching the early history of The House of Industry, when Canada had its own Oliver Twists.view less
