Cam Woolley buckles in for new career

TORONTO — After 30 years of service to the Ontario Provincial Police, Cam Woolley has retired from the force and is embarking on a new career in broadcasting, joining Toronto’s breaking news channel CP24.

Woolley, a media veteran in his own right, puts his on-camera experience to work today as CP24’s new Traffic and Safety Specialist, CP24 reported.

"It’s hard to believe I’ve found a second career that lets me talk even more than I do right now," said Woolley. "There are dozens of commuting stories that break on Toronto’s roads every day, and I can’t wait to join CP24 and be on the other side of the microphone, helping folks get to and from home more safely."
