Last night, I was named as the first winner of the Gordon N. Fisher/JHR Fellowship at Massey College at the University of Toronto. The occasion was the 14th annual awards gala of the Canadian Journalism Foundation.

Winning this fellowship is an incredible honour and a wonderful opportunity that will take me to one of my favourite cities on the planet for an academic year. I intend to take full advantage of it to broaden my horizon, deepen my knowledge and gain new experiences.

Over the next few weeks, I should settle on exactly what I would be studying before I leave in late August.
I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to the selection panel at Massey College for choosing me out of hundreds. I look forward to a great year in beautiful Toronto, studying and catching up with all my wonderful Canadian friends.
