Matt Latour

Born in St. Catharines, raised in Oshawa. I graduated Niagara College's Broadcasting for Radio, Television, and Film Program in April 2017 and have been with Vista Radio since July 2017. Way back in the day, my great-grandparents met in Barry's Bay and I'm very happy to call it home now.
