Elaine Anselmi
Ontario Bureau Chief
Elaine Anselmi is the Ontario bureau chief with The Narwhal, based in Peterborough, Ont. She has treeplanted across northern Ontario and Alberta and still spends as much time as possible outside with her family. As a reporter and editor for various publications, she has always leaned towards writing on environment issues and all things to do with the great outdoors. And she loves a quirky science story. She is a former managing editor of Up Here magazine and has worked for newspapers in the Northwest Territories and northern B.C., and as a reporter travelling between Nunavut and Nunavik. She has an undergraduate degree from Dalhousie University and a post-graduate diploma in journalism from Humber College.
