Originally from Sudbury, Ontario, Justine Giles has settled in Calgary, Alberta as her current home base. The singer-songwriter's journey has taken her through Toronto, on stages and screens across Canada, and while we're all trying to stay close to home now, we know she'll be on the road again in the future.
