Campbell River celebrates with loved hermit

Frater Charles Brandt honoured during the 50th anniversary of his ordination

It was standing room only for 93-year-old Frater Charles Brandt from Oyster River, B.C.

"Brandt, soon to turn 94, is much revered by almost everyone for his tireless work on behalf of the natural world, a world he sees as infused with divine purpose...

He’s a hermit who took a science degree, ornithology, and uses social media to distribute his stunning photographs of wild creatures — a cougar visiting his hermitage, wild swans in flight, a red-winged blackbird."
