Long-time broadcaster Heidi Petracek has joined the Global National team as the new Atlantic correspondent based out of Halifax. She began in the role this week.
Eilish Bonang sits down for a conversation with the newest member of the Global News team; Heidi Petracek joins the Halifax newsroom as the Atlantic Correspondent with Global National.
Petracek has spent her 25-year career reporting across Atlantic Canada and beyond — starting out in her home province of Saskatchewan, before going on to work in Calgary, Toronto, Corner Brook, and St. John’s, eventually settling in Halifax.“So to be able to kind of represent people in Atlantic Canada to the rest of the country is incredible for me, and I’m so happy that Global National took me on.
She said she has been “incredibly fortunate” to have worked with “amazing people” across the country, fulfilling a lifelong dream of being a journalist.“It really is something that started when I was in high school,” she said. “I always wanted to be a journalist, so when I got out of high school, that’s what I sought to do.
“I felt like I had to see it though to the end of the Mass Casualty Commission … it was something I felt I had to do from start to finish.”India to resume visa services at high commission, consulates in Canada
