Elaine Anselmi is the Ontario bureau chief with The Narwhal, based in Peterborough, Ont. She has tree-planted 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.
