Challis lives with his wife Donna in a small city on the north side of the North Saskatchewan River Valley. He recognizes the peace and solitude that comes from living on Treaty Six territory as we are all treaty people.
He was born in Surrey, England, the result of an accidental meeting between his Saskatchewan-born-and-bred father and his English mother during wartime. An event that stamped perpetual chaos on his mind.
Roy has been writing and performing and teaching in The Battlefords since 1966. He has been honored by Theatre Saskatchewan Inc. with a lifetime achievement award, by the Saskatchewan Drama Association with an Outstanding Achievement Award, by the Canadian Mental Health Association with a Volunteer of the Year Award, and by the Saskatchewan School Boards Association with a Lifetime Membership and Award of Distinction.
