Education and career

A graduate of Concordia University in Montreal, the fluently bilingual Kelley began reporting from within Quebec in the 1980s before joining CBC in 1990. From 2002 to 2004, he was co-host of the investigative journalism show CBC News: Disclosure with Diana Swain.

Recently, Kelley has moved away from being a regular reporter to focusing on documentaries and investigative journalism, making a series of ongoing stories on The National . His focus is often on issues of prejudice or controversy. Among his recent projects of this type were reports on the aftermath of the 2004 Tsunami and a series of reports from the Netherlands where he tried to get an insight into the growing anti-Muslim feelings there. He also made a series of reports where he sought to break down Canadian national stereotypes by accompanying Canadians with prejudices about certain people or provinces to visit them. In November 2006, he began a series called "7" where he would spend 7 days in someone else's shoes, such as a teacher at British Columbia's most troubled high school.

Kelley has won several Gemini Awards for his work. [3]
