Our Team

Darrell Yetman is a retired elementary school teacher who grew up “around the bay” in the town of Bay Roberts. After a few years of living and working in Toronto during the 1960s he answered that powerful call that every Newfoundlander hears when living away from home – to return to ‘Mother Newfoundland’. Several years later, while working with a local TV station as a Commercial Artist, he decided to enter Memorial University and become a teacher.

Since retiring from a 28-year teaching career, Darrell has also worked full-time as Prostate Cancer Support Coordinator and Education Coordinator with the NL Division of the Canadian Cancer Society. Today Darrell lives with his wife, Patti, and their dog, Buddy, about an hour and a half outside of St. John’s in the small town of Whiteway on the shore of Trinity Bay. He enjoys a number of hobbies including painting, gardening, woodworking, and playing guitar.

Darrell loves traveling and meeting people, and most of all enjoys showing visitors around his beautiful home province. Along the way, he would love to share a few Newfoundland songs and recitations, and will send you back home with a greater understanding of many of the things that make this place so special.
