Amanda McLeod

Amanda McLeod has called a number of locations home. Having lived in four of Canada’s most populous provinces, Amanda possesses a unique perspective of the Canadian landscape and the many communities that make up the collective culture. She is particularly passionate about reporting on the realities and effects of climate change, and with human interest stories that tell of how we connect in our communities, our societies, and to our environment. When not studying, writing, or investigating, Amanda can be found out in nature and will happily spend a day wandering through the trees trying to find a long lost lake or a rumoured berry patch.
