Allison Jones, a national reporter at The Canadian Press, is swapping beats with Queen’s Park reporter Maria Babbage.

Jones will join the Queen’s Park press gallery in September. Babbage, who has covered the Ontario legislature for six years, will join the national and Ontario desks in Toronto. 

“I'm going to miss all the political shenanigans!” Babbage tweeted on her last day at the legislature.

My last day at Queen's Park. Six years of doing the thing I love most. It's been a blast. pic.twitter.com/NmXmTvOKKg
