Philip Kreiner (born 1950 in Timmins, Ontario)[1] is a Canadian writer, whose short story collection People Like Us in a Place Like This was a nominee for the Governor General's Award for English-language fiction at the 1983 Governor General's Awards.[2]
He published two further novels, Heartlands[3] and Contact Prints,[4] in the 1980s. All three works were drawn from Kreiner's own experience as a teacher who had worked in Cree communities in far Northern Ontario and in Jamaica.[5]
