Darron Kloster has been an editor, reporter and feature writer for the Times 91Ô­´´ for 34 years and has worked in the industry for four decades covering everything from sports and business to municipal and provincial politics and breaking news.

Darron covers stories involving climate change and issues involving wildlife, marine ecosystems and the rapid changes to our natural world. He also edits and compiles several of the Times 91Ô­´´â€™s special projects, including Discover Magazine, and writes the On The Street business column.
