Geoff Ellwand

Geoff Ellwand is a veteran CBC Radio reporter who normally covers Toronto. In a varied career he has followed some big stories, most notably the Bernardo-Homolka case, and some inconsequential ones, such as the death of an elephant. Recently, Ellwand returned to Tokyo – a city where he worked as a reporter 17 years ago.
