Maya Henderson

Maya Henderson is a Canadian investigative journalist known for translating complex public policy into clear, public-facing reporting. She began her career at local community papers in Ontario, covering municipal councils, courts, and municipal finances, then moved to provincial desks where she reported on health systems, housing policy, and oversight bodies. Over the past decade, Maya has developed a reputation for meticulous document work and careful interviews, producing accountability journalism that led to clearer timelines, stronger procurement rules, and more transparent reporting from public institutions. She has written long-form features and breaking news packages for major national platforms, with particular focus on how policy affects everyday Canadians—especially in areas like seniors’ care, transit funding, and social services. Maya is also an experienced editor of data-supported stories, blending records requests, statistical analysis, and on-the-ground reporting. Her work continues to evolve as she mentors younger reporters on verification practices and ethical sourcing.
