To the University of Manitoba, he left his archival collection of photos that document the lives of people in the Canadian North from the 1950s to the 1980s. Nothing predestined Gély, who was born in Paris, France, in 1924, to live the majority of his life in the Canadian Far North. But after participating in the resistance during the Second World War, a young Gély fell in love with the Canadian Arctic after seeing an exhibition of Inuit art in the storefront of the Librairie Sainte-Beuve in Paris. He gathered all his savings and left for Canada in 1952.
