Jake Wray

Originally from the North, I was raised in Smithers and still have deep roots in the area. I studied journalism at Langara College in Vancouver, finishing in 2017, and I was a reporter for the newspaper in Terrace from 2020 to 2021. I'm ecstatic to be rejoining the Northern community, bringing home the skills I have acquired over many long years away.
