Bernand was born on June 30, 1934, to Kay and Myrtle Peterson in Medicine Hat, Alberta. He was raised in Bow Island and in 1950 left school to start farming. He then attended SAIT in Calgary to study agriculture mechanics. On November 3, 1951, he married Carolina Winder and they lived in Bow Island before moving to the family farm the next spring. In 1965, they purchased their farm and built the farmstead they lived on until retirement. While farming Bernand was one of the first farmers to start no-til farming and proved it increased production. Upon retirement, they moved to Redcliff and eventually Medicine Hat.
