He has covered both news and sports extensively in B.C. and has hosted numerous live events including the announcement that Vancouver had secured the 2010 Olympic Winter Games which was honoured as best live broadcast at the Leo awards.
A veteran sportscaster, Laurence spent more than a decade covering Vancouver sports, including 10 years as head of the sports department for CTV Vancouver Island.
