Spencer Turcotte joined the CTV Kitchener team in July 2019.

He graduated from Ryerson University’s journalism program with distinction and minored in sociology. Before joining CTV Kitchener, he interned at CTV Toronto and covered multiple elections for the Canadian Media Elections Consortium.

Spencer was also a reporter and video producer for J-Source, where some of his work was republished in Harvard’s Nieman Journalism Lab.

He was awarded the 2019 Jeff Junke Memorial Award from Ryerson University.

Since joining CTV News, he has covered everything from breaking news, to court cases, and human-interest stories.

A 2021 feature about how a bagpiper's musical tributes to frontline workers sparked a neighbourhood feud landed him as a Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) finalist in the Feature News category.

In 2024, he received an award from the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario for best in-depth report or series. In the same year, he also helped lead the coverage of a violent crash that killed an OPP officer and bus driver, which won the team a RTDNA Regional Award for best TV newscast.

Spencer speaks English.
