Opinion: It’s a pleasure to meet you!

I’m Christian Apostolovski, or just Chris, I know my last names a mouthful. Moving to a new city is an amazing experience, one that I’ve had the privilege to do multiple times. I am very lucky to have arrived in Lloydminster and begun working with the Meridian Source.

Prior to coming here, I was a reporter, editor, news anchor, creative writer, I did pretty much everything that media had to offer. I was living in beautiful northwestern B.C. in a city named Terrace. I spent 5 years there; I loved seeing the mountains every day and enjoying that fresh northern air. But me and my fiancé decided it was time to head east and close that chapter of our lives. Her family is from Alberta and the decision was made to move to Lloydminster.

Now here I am, excited to meet the community and share stories and issues that matter the most to you.

My passion has always been storytelling, in my free time I enjoy writing and coming up with new and interesting ideas. During my work hours I prefer to listen to the community and connect with individuals to share their stories. In the past I did plenty of feature writing sharing people’s journeys through life. I’ve always believed that everyone has a story to tell and learning about your neighbours, friends and loved ones brings everyone closer together. I’ve reported on various topics that affected the communities that I was a part of. I’ve never shied away from any topics and I am always eager to learn.

If you have any story ideas or just want to connect feel free to email me anytime, christian@meridiansource.ca. I’m looking forward to chatting with you and telling your stories!
