So excited to be working with CBC New Brunswick in Fredericton this summer! What a great first week of training, I can’t wait to starting sharing stories soon.

A new role but still here! After 13 years hosting CBC New Brunswick supper hour news, it's time to hand the baton to colleague Rachel Cave. Parkinson's is tightening its grip on my voice, but as long as I can talk I'll continue to tell stories and be part of CBC News in NB.

It was a great day at PorridgeforParkinson connecting with partners and friends in support of Parkinson's research! sarah robichaud, Jeanne Beker, Harry Forestell, Dr. Tony Lang and One Step Ahead Mobility!
