Megan Turcato
North Okanagan Video Journalist
Based in Vernon, Megan covers the North Okanagan and beyond.
A keen follower of current events from an early age, Megan had to buy a parka to get her start in broadcasting.
Her first job was as the court beat reporter for CJCD Mix 100 in Yellowknife, NWT.
She followed that up with stints as a video journalist for Global Okanagan and as a reporter at Radio NL in Kamloops.
Born and raised in Calgary, Megan considers herself lucky to call B.C.’s beautiful Interior home.
In her free time, she enjoys testing out new recipes and exploring B.C.’s backcountry.
