Smart and compassionate, the multi-faceted journalist has co-anchored the last six municipal, provincial, and federal elections, reported from London during the Royal Wedding and Queen’s Jubilee, and hosted a documentary from her native Sri Lanka on the 2004 South Asian Tsunami. A mother of triplets, she is a passionate advocate for women and children’s issues, which saw her named Toronto Woman of the Year 2011.
