A former CHCH employee has landed a job with Niagara West MP Dean Allison.
Lauran Sabourin is joining Allison's office as Director of Communications.
Sabourin, was the Niagara Bureau Chief at CHCH Television for 30 years.
Sabourin was one of many CHCH employees blindsided in a mass layoff at the station back in December.
Lauran's new position will be to act as the media liaison for Dean Allison, and to oversee all media communications.
She will also assist in other community outreach activities such as news conferences, round tables and town hall meetings, special events, etc.
“I couldn’t be happier to have Lauran on board,” said Allison. “Her knowledge about the issues that affect the people of this community is extensive and her passion for the people of Niagara is well known to anyone who followed her career at CHCH TV.”
Sabourin holds an Honours Degree in Political Science from the University of Toronto.
