Hey! We have a new member of the Redbrick team.

Meet Megan.

Megan’s 10-year career has been divided between municipal service, rural economic development, and journalism. She is based in Marmora, about an hour north of Belleville.

Megan started her career working with rural municipal governments in Eastern Ontario. Over a seven year span, she worked with federal and provincial funding programs, assisted with municipal elections and bylaw development, established a successful community hub, and implemented strategic plans. Her communications responsibilities included communications planning, content creation and social media management.

In 2020, Megan worked with the Toronto Star as a community reporter, photographer, and content creator. As is often the case with on-line, rural ‘newsrooms’, she did everything but deliver the paper.

Prior to joining Redbrick, Megan specialized in freelance contributions for tourism and economic development initiatives in Eastern Ontario. She is currently a Board Member for Community Futures of North and Central Hastings and South Algonquin.

Megan is a graduate of Loyalist College’s journalism program, and she has an Associate’s Certificate in Local Government Administration from Dalhousie University, with a focus on rural government, law and finance.
