Chelsea Papineau is the lead digital content specialist for CTV News Northern Ontario and is based in Sudbury.

She creates, curates and publishes content for both the CTVNewsNorthernOntario.ca website and social media.

Chelsea was instrumental in creating the Northern Ontario Fire Updates page during the Ontario wildfires in 2018 and the Northeastern Ontario Riding Profiles page during the last federal election, with in-depth information on candidates running in the region. She covered stories from the social media response to the Humboldt Broncos crash to the tragic New Year's Day crash that killed three children from the Greater Sudbury area.

She grew up in Portland, Oregon and studied scriptwriting at Portland Community College as well as acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts West in Los Angeles, California.

She and her husband moved to Sudbury in 2003 to raise their two children.

In addition to her love for storytelling, she has a lot of experience in project management and business administration.

Chelsea has been teaching the Youth Drama program with Sudbury Theatre Centre on Saturday mornings since 2005.

Being involved in the community and giving back is extremely important to her, so she does a lot of volunteer and charity work. She is currently the treasurer of Ridgecrest Accessible Playground and the applications manager of the Book Love Foundation.

She enjoys reading and is always looking for book recommendations.

Chelsea is fluent in English and understands some French.
