Bernard studied singing in Montreal from 1908 with Béatrice La Palme and Salvator Issaurel .

In 1929 she founded the Théâtre des petits in Montreal , a school for speech training and music, which was represented with a program of the same name on the radio station CKAC, and shortly afterwards the École nouvelle , where she taught children with language problems. The Camille-Bernard Institute later emerged from both .

She recorded the songs Hum Humm and La mort du mari on the His Master's Voice label . In 1973 she played the role of Madame Tassy in Claude Jutra's film Kamouraska .
