John Watson’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

Currently based in Calgary, and working out of Strathmore, I jumped headfirst into this industry in 2019 after graduating from SAIT, and haven't looked back since. I've traveled across Alberta and pride myself on upholding the same esteemed standards of honest, nonbias and ethical journalism I was taught, and expect of my colleagues.
