THE CANADIAN SCREEN AWARDS: HOSTING FOR CANADA’S BEST HOSTS

February 28th, 2013

Last night I hosted the first ever Canadian Screen Awards…for the second year in a row. I know this sounds impossible or that I’m drunk while I’m typing this, but trust me it’s not one of those things. Last year I hosted the Gemini Awards (Canada’s Emmy awards) industry night for the news, sports and lifestyle departments.

February 11th, 2013

Well, in the midst of a winter storm described by Torontonians as “Snowmageddon” and by Montrealers as “a light dusting” we managed to travel (by train and then bus) to lovely Lennoxville Quebec for a special taping of The Debaters as part of Bishop’s University’s Winter Homecoming weekend.

The unprecedented university campus taping was the brainchild of University Principal Michael Goldbloom and CBC President Hubert Lacroix, both of whom attended the taping and personally welcomed us to the campus before the show!

For those of you who have attended Debaters tapings before (thank you by the way) you’ll know that live tapings of The Debaters are always a fun …
