Reporting from locations throughout Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Asia, Workman has covered notable news events including war in the Middle East, revolutionary changes in Eastern Europe, and the tragic death of Princess Diana.
Starting in 2009, Workman led CTV's extensive coverage of news events in the United States as Washington Bureau Chief.
