Dr. James Edmund Mabee was born in 1851 near Beamsville, Ontario (Lincoln County). At the age of six he and his family moved to Odessa, Ontario, his home for the next eighty-three years. Mabee attended Sydenham High School and later Toronto Normal School. He entered Queen's University in 1884, and three years later he obtained his M.D. and C.M. degrees. After graduation he purchased a practice in Odessa where he remained until his death on August 20, 1940. He was Medical Health Officer for Ernestown Township for sixty-three years, thought to be a record for Canada. His long service as an active practitioner brought him many honours including a gold cane from the Frontenac Medical Society. Mabee was involved in the work of the Red Cross during World War I and was for a time Commanding Officer of the 47th Regiment.

Mabee married twice and his son, Dr. Horace Carleton Mabee (1891-1970) also became a physician.

Carole Condé and Karl Beveridge live and work in Toronto, Ontario. They were located in NewYork from 1969-1976 where their earlier work was grounded in the conceptual art movement of the late 1960s and took the artistic form of sculpture. By the late '70s their art began to focus on social issues which were explored through a process that allowed their subjects to become participants in the work. Condé and Beveridge have defined their photo-based art practice around the facilitation of dialogue among diverse communities and networks, exploring the concept of dialogue as a form of socially engaged art practice.
Their work attempts to bridge two audiences: working people and those in the arts. Condé and Beveridge are considered pioneers in the development of the staged fictional format of documentary photography. They have collaborated with various trade unions and community organizations in the production of their staged photographic work over the past 30 years. Their practice has developed over the the years and extended past this form as they developed a process of visual workshops in which community members collaborate in developing the form of the work and act in the final images.
Their work has been exhibited across Canada and internationally in both the trade union movement and art galleries and museums. They are active in several labour arts initiatives including the Mayworks Festival in Toronto and the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre in Hamilton, Ontario.
