“I believe Kyle will inject enthusiasm and be able to revive our marketing strategy,” Parent said in a statement. “We have seen the quality work Kyle has done all year with the Revelstoke Mountaineer and his passion for sports and community. I am looking forward to working with Kyle.”
Simkins hails from LaSalle, Ontario and recently graduated from the journalism program at St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario.
