Congratulations Shaun! Much respect and gratitude for you, one of the best storytellers I've met.
Ahhhh, Shaun Waters. A natural storyteller, a brilliant punmaster (much to my chagrin), a cheerleader for his colleagues, one of the most dogged chase producers I've ever seen. We will miss you so much at InfoAM Fredericton. Happy retirement 🤗

I started at CBC Fredericton ten years ago! I spent two years away from journalism, but still filed a few stories for CBC, so I'm counting them :) Love and thanks to all those who have supported me from NB to SK to Northern Ontario. I'm so, so lucky to do what I do.

This is a beautiful story, written and reported with such care by our colleague @jmigneault. We'll be airing his interview with Mark Asselin to end the show at 5:50 on @UpNorthCBC cbc.ca/newsinteractives/feat…

We've had some guests stop by over the last couple weeks, and it feels/sounds SO GOOD to have people in the studio to chat with @jonathan_pinto For me, it's like the difference between a handshake and a hug. Here are our latest guests @HonestHeartCo cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-8…

We had Benveet 'Bean' Gill on the show on Friday to talk about the new CBC TV show, Push. She was awesome - a memorable interview for me.

Benveet 'Bean' Gill talks about the worst year of her life and how she was able to build a community of friends to help her turn things around — not just for herself, but everyone around her too. Push is now streaming.

Hey northern Ontario! I'm pursuing a story on medically assisted dying and eligibility for those suffering from mental health issues. Is this something that impacts you? Do you know someone who is considering MAID? PM me or email sam.juric@cbc.ca. Miigwetch, thank you, merci!

That's a good point!!
Replying to @UpNorthCBC
@UpNorthCBC @jonathan_pinto @YardCBC @AngelaGemmill honestly preferring the cold over snow! Really cold temps usually mean sunshine…and clear roads! Driving in snow stresses me too much.

Just got a pass for @KiviPark and @ScienceNorth for myself and my partner, and I've never been so sure that our move to Sudbury was the right choice. #northernontario #lovewhereyoulive

I’m also having a lot of fun using my Jackrabbits coaching skills on this guy. He’s a quick study!

I'm searching for a tattoo artist in Northern Ontario to interview about their cultural tattooing practices. While I appreciate there are many talented artists, I'm most interested in people whose practice is rooted in tradition and/or ceremony.

Extreme cold today right across the north. Bundle up, plug in your car (don’t forget to unplug it), and check in on each other.
Weather alerts Ontario North - Extreme cold conditions early this morning and possibly continuing into Tuesday morning with wind chill values near minus 40. In some areas the cold will continue through the week. #ONStorm ow.ly/q64g50MEiK3
