New reporter joins the Times

Tyler Lowey
Times Reporter

 

Good morning, Strathmore.
My name is Tyler Lowey and I am thrilled to be joining the strong newsroom at the Strathmore Times as your new reporter. I jumped at the opportunity to cover this developing town.
Just a little about me: I was born just outside Toronto, grew up in the southeast of Calgary and attended Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C., where I graduated with a degree in journalism.
I spent a year as a sports/general reporter for The Morning Star in Vernon, B.C. and I spent some time with CBC Radio One in Kamloops.
I am delighted to be back on the prairies. It feels great to come home and start a fresh new job.
Sports are huge for me. I love them all and especially love my Toronto teams, the Blue Jays, Maple Leafs and Raptors. Yes, I have heard all the one-liners, seen all the memes and taken all the flak that comes with bleeding blue and white. That’s fine with me, because one day, the Leafs will reign supreme again and all this pain will be worth it. I will save you guys a seat on the bandwagon.
Currently, I moved back in with my old roomies (my parents) in Calgary. I will be looking for rental spaces in town, so if you know anyone with an open room, give me a call. I am easy to live with, I try to be as clean as possible and I cook simple meals like Kraft Dinner and lasagna. I will not disturb you at night because I’ll be locked into the MLB pennant races. Just make sure your basement suite has capable Wi-Fi.
I can’t say enough how excited I am to work in Wheatland County. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and uncover all the fantastic stories this town has to offer.
