Morgan Brayton

I am a multimedia journalist with a background in arts and media including film & tv production, acting, hosting, screenwriting and comedy. Born and raised in Victoria, I now live in Chemainus with my wife and our many rescue pets after more than three decades in Vancouver. I believe engaged communities are strong communities and am honoured to be able to contribute to local community-building through journalism.
