Rob Munro
Rob Munro has a long history in journalism after starting an underground newspaper in Whitehorse called the Yukon Howl in 1980.

He came to Kelowna in 1989 as a reporter for the Kelowna Daily Courier, and spent the 1990s mostly covering city hall. For most of the past 20 years he worked full time for the union representing newspaper workers throughout B.C. He’s returned to his true love of being a reporter with a special focus on civic politics
