About the Author: Megan Walchuk

> Megan Walchuk is a huge fan of community news. After earning her diploma of Print Journalism from Sheridan College, she headed past the big dailies, and settled in for many fun-filled years covering community events for several newspapers in the Hamilton and Halton regions. She’s won a few plaques and stuff, but her most prized journalism award is a genuine Hamilton Fire Service T-shirt, for her in-depth series, following their super cool Extrication Team’s path to international competition. She took a few years off to have some kids, and returned to her roots in northwestern Ontario. She’s currently living her dream as the editor of The Fort Frances Times.
