Ben Fenlon

My career in journalism began in the U.K., working as a senior reporter for three bi-weekly newspapers. I quickly learnt that no day is ever the same in local news. One day you鈥檙e reporting on a community protest against unwanted development, the next you鈥檙e chatting to the family whose heroic cat saved the life of their choking toddler!

Now living in Victoria with my husband, I鈥檓 excited to get involved in the Greater Victoria region, helping locals to share their stories.
