Heather Colpitts

Since starting in the news industry in 1992, my passion for sharing stories has taken me around Western Canada, including Bonnyville, Alta., Prince Rupert, 100 Mile House, and most recently here in Langley – since 2008. I have spent my career working as a reporter and photographer for community news media, and look forward to continuing to bring the news of Langley to Langley – whether in print or online.
