Brendan Jure

I am an Irish-Canadian journalist who joined the Campbell River Mirror in December, 2023. Before joining the Campbell River Mirror, I worked at another Black Press paper, the 100 Mile Free Press, from 2017 to 2019. I also have bylines in the Almaguin News, Huntsville Forester and other Metroland newspapers.
While not in the newsroom or out and about reporting, I am heavily involved in Comox Valley's rugby community or walking around with my family and two English Springer Spaniels, Doolin and Mobi.
