About me

Haley Ritchie is an award-winning Canadian journalist and photographer with a decade of experience chasing stories across the country—from the power corridors of Ottawa to the subarctic trails of the Yukon. As both a freelancer and staff reporter, she has hung from cliffs, risked camera gear in leaky rowboats and bluffed her way into fancy ballrooms in pursuit of unique stories about people, politics and the natural world.

A graduate of Carleton University’s Bachelor of Journalism program, Haley began her career covering local politics before moving west and eventually north.

Her work has appeared in The Globe and Mail, Macleans, The Narwhal, and Paddling Magazine, among others. In 2021, she received a National Geographic COVID-19 Emergency Fund grant to document the pandemic's impacts in Northern Canada.
