Thanks Jen! I’m going back to my old stomping grounds which is so exciting

I am so thrilled to announce I’ve accepted a *permanent* reporting position with CBC in Terrace and Prince Rupert.

I’m so sad to be leaving grande prairie, it’s been so much fun and I’ve genuinely loved it here. The stories have been incredible.

I start in Terrace Jan 12.

It’s my home region I don’t need one hehe

About 500 people showed up to the town hall in Fairview last night from across the region, to share their concerns about the looming NWP campus closure.

It's an issue that hits home for a lot of people.

"Our college matters, the unity of our community will save our college."

Many people showing up in their "Fairview College" or "NWP" hoodies, pins, hats, etc. All responses will be forwarded to elected officials.

An absolutely packed house at Fairview's Dunvegan Inn for a town hall regarding the future of Northwestern Polytechnic's Fairview campus. There's a lineup out the door to get in.

NWP announced last week that they would be moving to a singular location due to a budget shortfall.

Shock ripples through students after Northwestern Polytechnic announces satellite campus closure | CBC News Students and others in Fairview, Alta., are reeling from the announcement that the town's Northwestern Polytechnic campus is set to close at the end of the academic year.

I started a personal project.

I am trying to talk to journalists and other media types about their time reporting in Vancity.

It was an idea that Mike Eckford sparked when we used to get Terry Bell to read bed time stories on the radio.

I finished the first one and its with George Garrett.

Ah what a treat to hear George's stories again, thanks for doing this Eric :)

Is baseball still America’s game? The Blue Jays are changing the idea of who baseball is for | CBC Arts Jays fan Sadaf Ahsan and sports journalist Shireen Ahmed examine the cultural changes at play.

Everywhere I go, people are wearing Jays gear. People I know who have never watched baseball (me included) are staying up past midnight to for an 18th inning. The coffee shop has baseball donuts.

And, I cannot emphasize this enough, I am in a city *3000 km from Toronto*

Canada is behind this team

Asked for comment, the company responded “legacy media lies”

“It’s weird to be gone for so long and then be back. I couldn’t ask teachers any questions, it was hard to study, ” said Sable (Gr. 12)

“I missed a few of my teachers. I’m excited to be back. I have so many questions to ask about all the school work I tried to get done but I kinda fell behind on.”

“It’s a little scary being back, especially since we missed so much,“ said Quinn (Gr. 11)

“I’ll probably try to study more and lock in a little more, and put more effort into it than I would have had to before"
