Scott Lightfoot

@tamaracherry @PoliceAssocON I hope the other 50% was more interesting..

@PoliceAssocON Hey @scottlightfoot, it’s you! I promise the entire media training was not about you. Just about 50%.

During day two we welcomed an exceptional communications expert, @tamaracherry, Pickup Communications, in storytelling and supporting our members in telling traumatic stories #paoagm2023 #paoagm

One of the highlights of this job was getting to meet the man I get asked about almost every day. Contrary to popular belief (and Google), we weren’t related, but on the several occasions I met him, he couldn’t have been nicer. Lightfoot is gone, but the legend lives on..

Sometimes someone steps up for you, without you asking (or even knowing), and in doing so, profoundly alters the course of your career (and your life). For me that person was @AustinCTV Congrats on your well earned retirement Austin- and thanks for everything.

Personally, I think you look more like @slightfootCTV - but that’s probably just because of the suit.

Congrats @NPaparellaCTV on 40+ years (and counting) of telling great stories- and thanks @RTDNA_Canada for honouring one of the best. Click the link below to see more (and hear me talk) about this London broadcasting legend (and one of the nicest people I’ve ever worked with).

The snow may be gone, but this story lives on. Nice job @CarterTrozzolo - I hope you get that hug one day!

I’ve seen a few parodies and memes from Monday’s viral story- but this is the first song (and it’s remarkably catchy). Kudos to @anonymotif for creating “Always Tired” (Carter Trozzolo remix) youtu.be/A8ScVKgnYS4

From very tired to viral star, with lots of heavy sighing in between. Carter Trozzolo just wants to go back to school- but before he does he’s sharing his thoughts about becoming a snow shoveling sensation. ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2…

@JaneatLFPress It was me- and haven’t seen a viral reaction like this since Darwin!

@AllanaHarkin @MeaghanDerynck @CTVNews I think the reporter is my old friend @scottlightfoot. Hilarious. He broke the story about the IKEA monkey....

<Insert deep sigh> Tonight on @CTVToronto at 6- we sit down with Carter for his take on the snow, the shovelling, the sighing, and his new viral fame... (spoiler alert: he'd rather be in school) <Insert another sigh>

@KrisReports Haha thanks Kris. It’s not hard to tell a good story when the subjects are as fun as this.

Idk how, but @scottlightfoot always seems to get the best subjects. One of the reasons why he’s one of my favourite story tellers.

A few days late to this, but it’s a fantastic tribute to a wonderful teacher (and kind man) who helped shape many young lives.

@SimonOstler @charlieostler Best baby gift ever. But is he really your and @Katie_Ostler ‘s kid if he doesn’t use social media by this point?

Thanks to @scottlightfoot for reserving @charlieostler for him back then (he doesn’t use social media yet, thankfully 😅)

Sad to read of the passing of Vinnie Talotta- a talented photographer, and a great guy to chat with when we were both covering a story. Vince took this photo in 2015 at a world record snowball fight when the participants turned on me. My condolences to his family and friends.

@tamaracherry @SarahPharmacist Uh, I believe she’s talking about me. Apparently I was too young to know how to use an iron.

@SarahPharmacist @scottlightfoot Gimme a break, I’m still so young and don’t you forget it.

Look what just popped up on my shuffle slideshow, ⁦@scottlightfoot⁩! One of my favourite shirts (before it was suggested that I don’t wear any more button-up shirts) and one of my favourite people!

Excited to dive in to this, and super proud of my friend ⁦@tamaracherry⁩

The moral of the story is a good one for young journalists- believe in yourself, and don't give up when things get tough. Thrilled to see @CTVDanaRoberts get recognized for his (hard earned) success, though from now on I will only refer to him as "Guelph child".

No official fireworks this year, so we had to settle for a beach full of people’s own displays- some didn’t even wait for dark. Happy 🇨🇦 Day!

Not a bad start to summer..

Covering court with @SamPazzano was a masterclass in journalism. A great reporter sure- but always generous with information, and eager to help other reporters. Also a super nice guy. During recesses, judges, lawyers- even criminals would approach him in the hall just to say hi.
