Wendy Stueck is a national correspondent for The Globe and Mail. Based in Vancouver, she has covered technology and business and now reports on British Columbia issues including natural resources, Indigenous issues and urban affairs.

Wendy Stueck is an experienced reporter who has covered a range of topics at The Globe and Mail, beginning with small business and entrepreneurship and covering issues including housing, natural resources, and Indigenous business. As part of a team that looked at data gaps in Canada, in 2019, she looked at the patchwork of databases that made it difficult to track immunization status. In 2016, she contributed to The Globe and Mail's coverage of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women with a story about Angeline Pete, a Quatsino First Nation woman who went missing in 2011.

Recently, Wendy has written on the evolving Indigenous business sector, including moves into the energy development, and systemic barriers, including access to finance, that can hold back First Nations, Inuit, and Metis groups as they pursue new business ventures.

In late 2022, Wendy joined The Globe's climate and environment team, where she has written about major international treaties and Canadians' experience with electric vehicles.

Why did you become a journalist?

I grew up in a prairie home where the radio was often on, tuned to news and crop reports, and the kitchen table was stacked with magazines and newspapers. My parents had their favourite columnists and radio commentators and, eventually, so did I. I was fascinated by the possibility that journalism could uncover secrets, reveal mysteries and shenanigans and, in the best-case scenarios, be a force for positive change. I still feel that way and am inspired every day by the work of my colleagues and journalists around the world who are trying to bring light to dark spaces and places.
