Calgary-based Joelle Tomlinson joined the CTV Morning News team in 2017 —jumping into local, national and international news coverage, interviews and local emceeing duties. She is a Jill-of-all-trades on the morning news — covering topics from the opioid epidemic, to food and fashion, to interviewing big profile names that land in Calgary.
