Bruce Woloshyn has been working as a digital artist and visual effects supervisor since 1992. During his career, Bruce has been a visual effects supervisor and artist on almost all manner of visual effects projects from box office leading feature films, to popular episodic television series and broadcast commercials.

Bruce is a voting member of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the Visual Effects Society, and the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television.
Among Bruce’s many interests are his Hawaiian shirts, and several charities, including:
Challenger Baseball:
Challenger Baseball is a division of Baseball BC that provides an opportunity for children with cognitive or physical disabilities to enjoy the full benefits of participation in baseball at a level structured to their abilities. Baseball games are played in a fun, safe environment where no score is kept. Able-bodied “Buddies” are assigned (one on one, where possible) to each participant.
These Buddies assist the Challenger Baseball players with their involvement in the game. Pushing wheelchairs around the base path, assisting players in how to hold the bat and swing, or providing protection for the Challenger Baseball player from a batted ball, are just a few of the ways the Buddies offer a better experience for the participants in Challenger Baseball.
This upcoming 2013 season will mark Bruce’s third year coaching a Challenger League Baseball Team. This new season also sees Bruce taking on a larger role in the organization as a division assistance coordinator and overseeing the redevelopment of Challenger BC’s on-line presence.
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation:
JDRF’s research is committed to improving the lives of every person with T1D and to curing this disease. JDRF’s research goals are realized by the projects being supported in three basic areas: Cure, Treat, Prevent. In 2012 and 2013, Bruce captained teams in the JDRF Ride for Diabetes Research. He has committed to doing so again this year as he continues his support of the JDRF.
