Christine Hinzmann grew up in Ontario, two hours north of Toronto, but found her way to Prince George in 1987. John Harding, former editor of the Prince George Citizen, gave her a chance at free lancing in 2000 (in the sports department of all places!) and she's never looked back after finagling her way into full time work at PG This Week, and then moving across the street to sister paper The Citizen in 2006. Known in Prince George as an armwrestling champion in the late 90s (and constantly reminded of it to this day!) she proudly writes about the lovely and talented people in the community. Recently Christine tried her hand at the online world and managed to bring home a Ma Murray Award for Online Innovation - she's very proud it was her first project and hopes to continue to explore the many interesting aspects of the multi media world in which we now live. Christine has also received national awards for stories about the people in and around Prince George.
