Ontario Bureau Chief

Elaine Anselmi is a writer, editor and unawarded champion bread-baker. She is the Ontario bureau chief with The Narwhal, based in Peterborough, Ontario, and a former managing editor of Up Here magazine. She has always leaned toward writing on environment issues and successes, and all things to do with the great outdoors. And she loves a quirky science story.

She has an undergraduate degree from Dalhousie University and a post-graduate diploma in journalism from Humber College.
