Colleen Flanagan

I’m so proud to be serving our community. For those who don’t know me, I got my start with Black Press Media in 2003 as a photojournalist. I freelanced at many Black Press publications across the Lower Mainland first, before being hired full time at the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows News more than a decade ago.

Through the years, I am honoured to have won international, national, and provincial awards for my photography. I am truly honoured to be able to tell the stories that impact the communities of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.
