Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia on December 24, 1913, he became curator and later director of the Nova Scotia Museum in 1940, succeeding Harry Piers. He served at the museum for 25 years focusing on the growth of its science collection until his departure in 1965.

Beginning in 1965, Crowdis was a member of the executive team that oversaw the establishment of what is now the Ontario Science Centre. He also became host of the popular CBC television series The Nature of Things
