Wayne's professional life has led him on a
journey throughout Canada from sea to sea to
sea.
His unique understanding and perspective of the
Canadian mosaic make him exceptional among
Canadians. He’s been called ‘Mr. Canada’, and
‘Canada’s Storyteller’ based on his adventures
and travels.
To quote the Edmonton Sun: "… If you took a poll
to determine the most trusted man on current
Canadian TV the smart money would be on Wayne
Rostad."
When Wayne began writing songs many years
ago, he wrote stories about real people and
places...and he continues that tradition today
from his home in Pakenham, in the heart of the
Ottawa Valley. And here in the heart of the
Valley that he loves so much Wayne wrote what
has now become one of Canada's Christmas
classics ...Christmas In The Valley.
It has become the theme of Light Up The Night,
and audiences know when they hear those
opening bars of the song ...that they are in for a
great show!

backyard and in communities across the country.
A few years ago Wayne discovered that people from
Valleys all across Canada were sure that he'd written the
song about the valley they called home. While doing a
radio interview in Kentville Nova Scotia, the radio host
assured Wayne that listeners were positive that he had been
inspired to write the song about their valley ... The
Annapolis Valley...and he has heard that same story again
and again over the years.
Wayne has garnered many awards and accolades over the
years. He has been inducted into the Ottawa Valley
Country Music Hall of Fame; he is a Paul Harris Fellow
and a Judge Brian Stevenson Award recipient.
He also has served as the Honorary Chair of the Christmas
Exchange and is a Board member of various hospitals and
charitable foundations.
