The Lavin Agency Signs Colleen Jones
Five Time Canadian Women's Curling Champion

Colleen knows what it feels like to be on both sides of a sports reporter's microphone. Her work as a CBC sports and weather journalist allows her to interview Canada's greats, like Catrional Le May Doan and Wayne Gretzy; her curling prowess has caused many a sports interviewer to chat with her. Winner of five Canadian Women's Curling Championships, Colleen is an everyday hero who lives her life just like any other working mother - except, of course, when she's winning Canadian curling's highest honours.

If anyone knows the ins and outs of Canadian sport, it's Colleen Jones.
