Managing Editor - Mark Lowey

EnviroLine’s managing editor is Mark Lowey, a national award-winning professional journalist.

With more than 26 years of contacts in the environment business community, Mark recognizes the emerging and important trends, issues and stories that are often missed, ignored or glossed over by the general news media.

Mark worked as a reporter at the Calgary Herald for 20 years, where he became one of the newspaper’s few “senior journalists,” a designation reserved for reporters whose work was recognized by the community, including at the national level.

His work has garnered several national awards, including the first Canadian Petroleum Association-Banff Centre award for environmental journalism, a Governor-General’s Michener citation, and two Canadian Science Writers’ Association awards in the same year.
