Last Edited September 28, 2022

Lisa LaFlamme, OC , OOnt , journalist, broadcaster (born 1964 in Kitchener, ON). Lisa LaFlamme is known for her long and distinguished career as a high-profile television journalist. She was the first woman to host CTV National News , a role she held — as chief news anchor and senior editor — for over a decade. She was named Best National News Anchor at the Canadian Screen Awards five times. Her abrupt termination from CTV, announced in August 2022, was met with broad public outrage. She has been appointed to the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario .

Early Life and Education

Lisa LaFlamme grew up in Kitchener , Ontario , the third of four daughters born to David and Kathleen LaFlamme. David was a Franco-Ontarian from Kitchener who worked as a building contractor; Kathleen was a British immigrant . After graduating from St. Mary’s High School, Lisa worked as an au pair in France for two years, where she perfected her French . She then returned to Canada and enrolled in university .

LaFlamme graduated from the University of Ottawa with an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Communications in 1988. She then took a job as a summer “fill-in” in the joint newsroom of Kitchener’s CKCO-TV, CKKW-AM and CFCA-FM. She handled a wide variety of newsroom tasks, including writing the television newscasts and preparing and anchoring radio newscasts.

Early Career

LaFlamme’s career began in earnest after impressing CKCO’s news director with her work ethic; she was offered a position as a regular part-time reporter on television and radio. She was promoted to a full-time position in the news department in 1991. In 1994, she became a co-host of CKCO’s evening and nightly newscasts.

Career Highlights

In 1997, LaFlamme sent audition tapes of her work to CTV , which was launching a new 24-hour specialty news channel, CTV Newsnet. She was hired after a lengthy process involving many candidates. LaFlamme quickly made a name for herself and became CTV Newsnet’s primary anchor in 1998. Two years later, she was promoted to become CTV’s parliamentary reporter. She was promoted again the following year to become co-anchor of the network’s flagship morning show, Canada AM . Within two years, she was named national affairs correspondent for CTV’s prime-time news program, CTV National News . During this time, she travelled extensively to cover major world events, including the death of Pope John Paul II, the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the 2010 Haiti Earthquake.

In 2011, LaFlamme replaced long-time CTV News anchor Lloyd Robertson as full-time anchor at CTV News. LaFlamme then became chief anchor and senior editor of the CTV National News . During her tenure in this role, LaFlamme continued reporting from abroad and covering major news events, including the aftermath of the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, the death of Fidel Castro in 2016 and the centennial of the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 2017. She also covered the papal conclave that led to the election of Pope Francis, Nelson Mandela’s memorial service, the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi and the papal visit to Canada in 2022. LaFlamme also provided extensive coverage of Canada’s involvement in the War in Afghanistan and of numerous federal elections.

Did you know? Lloyd Robertson enthusiastically supported having a woman, and LaFlamme specifically, as his successor. When she was announced as his replacement, he said, “Guys like me have sat in the chair for too long,” and “There aren’t enough words to express how much I admire her.”

Termination and Controversy

On 15 August 2022, LaFlamme announced on social media that she had been let go from her position at CTV . She described feeling “blindsided” by the move. At the time of her dismissal, the CTV National News had been the top-ranked national news broadcast in Canada for many years. She was told it was a “business decision” by the network’s parent company, Bell Media.

Immediate public outrage at the decision followed. Many observers noted that other long-serving anchors of major network newscasts, such as Lloyd Robertson (who retired at age 77) and Peter Mansbridge (who retired at 69), had left on their own terms with great fanfare. LaFlamme, 58 at the time, was told not to speak of her dismissal for nearly two months.

According to reports, LaFlamme may have been let go to cut costs amid the network’s shift to digital content. Subsequent reporting said that Michael Melling, vice-president of news at Bell Media, had clashed with LaFlamme as she disagreed with some of his directives. There were also suggestions that ageism and sexism were behind the move. Most notably, the Globe and Mail revealed that Melling had previously questioned LaFlamme’s decision to let her hair “go grey” during the COVID-19 pandemic . In response, Bell Canada Enterprises Inc. issued a statement that Michael Melling had gone on leave and that “Lisa’s age, gender or grey hair” did not factor into the decision to end her contract.

In addition to the furor within Canada — which included a full-page advertisement placed in the Globe and Mail by a group of prominent Canadians protesting LaFlamme’s dismissal – her departure, and the alleged circumstances behind it, also received international coverage in many major media outlets, including CNN and the Guardian .

Career After CTV

Roughly a month after she announced her dismissal from CTV, LaFlamme was hired to cover the death and funeral of Queen Elizabeth II as a special correspondent for CityNews (which is owned by Bell’s rival, Rogers Communications ). “It is truly an honour to be able to reflect on the legacy of this remarkable woman who I’ve admired my entire life,” LaFlamme said at the time.

Volunteer Work

Lisa LaFlamme has supported numerous charitable organizations throughout her career. In 2013, she travelled with Journalists for Human Rights to help mentor and train journalists in the Democratic Republic of Congo. LaFlamme is an ambassador for PLAN International, which works to combat child poverty around the globe. She has also volunteered with Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan. It seeks to improve the quality of life for Afghani women and their families, chiefly through education.

Awards and Honours

Lisa LaFlamme has been recognized as a trailblazer for women in Canadian journalism . In 2014, Maclean’s named her one of the 50 most important people in Canada. She has received several honorary degrees, including from her alma mater, the University of Ottawa . The university also granted her the Meritas-Tabaret Award for Alumni Achievement and the Distinguished Canadian Award. She has also received an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Wilfrid Laurier University . In 2018, she delivered the convocation speech at the University of Windsor and received an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree.

LaFlamme won the Canadian Screen Award for Best National News Anchor five times (2014, 2015, 2017, 2021 and 2022). She also won the Bert Canning Award for Best Newscast, issued by the Radio-Television News Directors Association, five years in a row (2012–16).

In 2016, LaFlamme was appointed to the Order of Ontario , both for her contributions as a journalist and for her advocacy and charity work. LaFlamme was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2019, for her contributions to journalism and her commitment to human rights .

The History of Canadian Broadcasting

Lisa LaFlamme (1964-)

Lisa LaFlamme

Year Born: 

Born on July 25th 1964 in Kitchener Ontario, Lisa La Flamme gained her early education at St. Mary’s high school in that city. After completing high school, she spent eighteen months in France, before enrolling at The University of Ottawa.

On graduation, in the summer of 1988 she began what was to be a high-profile career in broadcasting when she was hired into the Kitchener CKCO-TV CKKW-AM & CFCA-FM newsroom as a summer ‘fill-in’, helping with script preparation for TV newscasts and preparing and announcing radio newscasts to cover off vacationing staff.

As the summer ended, News Director Ron Johnstone had been so impressed with Lis’s work that he offered her a regular part-time job as a reporter for both the TV and radio stations. This led to a full-time appointment to the News department in 1991, and then in October 1994 she was appointed as Monday-Friday news co-anchor for CKCO-TV’s 6 pm and 11:30 pm newscasts.

Lisa’s on-air work came to the attention of the Network, and in 1997 she was invited to join CTV, where she first worked as a reporter and anchor for the CTV Newsnet Channel. She also did consumer reports for CTV News, before becoming the prime news anchor for CTV Newsnet in 1998.   She occupied this role for two years, and then in 2000  became Parliamentary correspondent for CTV News.

In 2001 Lisa took on another important role, this time as co-anchor of CTV’s Canada AM  daily morning show.  Then, after two years of early rising, in 2003 Lisa became National Affairs Correspondent for CTV National News, and over the next seven years she was most of the time on the road travelling to some of the world’s most dangerous locations to cover everything from wars to elections to natural disasters. She was in Rome to report on the death of Pope John Paul II;  reported from Sri Lanka on the devastation from the Tsunami that hit South Asia; was in New Orleans to cover the impact Hurricane Katrina had on New Orleans; and journeyed to Haiti several times to cover the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake and political turmoil gripping the country.

Such was the strength of her performance and on-air presence in this role that it was no surprise when in 2010 she was appointed as the successor to Lloyd Robertson as full-time anchor of CTV National News, and then in 2011 as Chief Anchor and Senior Editor for CTV National News with Lisa LaFlamme.

Not one to stay stuck behind a desk, in her new role Lisa continued to bring Canadians an up-close look at the biggest stories unfolding across Canada and around the world. In May 2018, LaFlamme travelled to Windsor to lead CTV News’ live special of the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In 2017, she reported from the devastated flood regions of Texas and Florida, and travelled to northern France to lead CTV News’ special coverage of the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Led by LaFlamme, CTV News delivered live coverage of the inauguration of Donald Trump from Washington D.C. in January 2017; reported on the death of Fidel Castro from Havana in November 2016; and broadcast live from Paris in November 2015 in the aftermath of the coordinated terrorist attacks across the city.

In addition to multiple awards for broadcasting and journalism over her career, Lisa LaFlamme has received an honorary doctorate from her alma mater University of Ottawa, and honorary Doctor of Laws degrees from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ont. and from the University of Windsor. She is the recipient of the Order of Ontario and was awarded the Distinguished Canadian Award from the University of Ottawa. On June 27, 2019, LaFlamme was named an Officer of the Order of Canada (O.C.), one of Canada’s highest honours.

A passionate advocate of democracy in journalism, LaFlamme volunteers for Journalists for Human Rights (JHR) and has traveled with the organization to the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2013 to mentor and train young journalists in Goma, in the heart of the conflict zone. LaFlamme also championed a program with CTV News to identify eligible and deserving staff journalists to participate in JHR missions around the world, and serves as honorary co-chair of the annual JHR Night for Rights event. 

LaFlamme is also an ambassador of PLAN International, traveling to remote areas to promote child rights and to end poverty around the world, and volunteers with Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan, which works to advance education and educational opportunities for Afghan women and their families.

‘Not My Choice.’ A TV Anchor Is Ousted, and Viewers Ask: Was Sexism to Blame?

The chief executive of a Canadian news network pushed back against allegations that sex, age or gray hair were factors in the abrupt dismissal of the veteran journalist, Lisa LaFlamme.

lisa laflamme biography

By Alan Yuhas

From a makeshift studio and with a news anchor’s measured tones, one of Canada’s most familiar faces shocked viewers, created a PR disaster at a national broadcaster and set off intense conversations about how employers treat women as they age.

She did it with a polite, unexpected farewell.

“I guess this is my sign-off from CTV,” the news anchor, Lisa LaFlamme said in a video that announced the abrupt end of her 35-year career at the network.

She made it clear that the decision was made by Bell Media, the company that owns CTV, and not by her. The company made “a ‘business decision’ to end my contract,” she said, adding that she was “blindsided” by the call.

Ms. LaFlamme said it was “crushing to be leaving CTV National News in a manner that is not my choice.”

In the two weeks since she posted the video online, Ms. LaFlamme, 58, has inspired a huge wave of support , with many women speaking out about their own difficult experiences in the workplace .

The video also generated a steady drumbeat of outrage over how Bell Media treated Ms. LaFlamme, a veteran journalist whose résumé includes war zone reporting, the latest national news anchor award and over a decade as chief anchor of Canada’s most-watched nightly news show.

Neither Ms. LaFlamme nor Bell Media has described the specific reasons for her dismissal. But viewers, fellow journalists, former government officials and celebrities were quick to draw their own conclusions, accusing Bell Media of “ shameful ” and “ shoddy ” conduct, with some speculating that factors like sexism were at work.

After a Globe and Mail report , citing an anonymous CTV official, said that an executive had questioned Ms. LaFlamme’s decision to stop dyeing her hair and let it go gray, Canadian branches of companies like Wendy’s and Dove, in a gesture toward the anchor, turned their branding gray .

On Friday night, Mirko Bibic, the chief executive of Bell Media, pushed back against the accusations but said he would not disclose details of the case because of an agreement with Ms. LaFlamme.

“The narrative has been that Lisa’s age, gender or gray hair played into the decision,” Mr. Bibic said in a statement posted on LinkedIn. “I am satisfied that this is not the case and wanted to make sure you heard it from me. While I would like to say more on the Bell Media decision, we are bound by a mutual separation agreement negotiated with Lisa, which we will continue to honor.”

He did say that an executive, who some viewers have criticized over the dismissal, had been put on leave “effective immediately,” pending the findings of a workplace review. The review, he said, will be independent and will seek to “address concerns raised regarding the working environment” in the newsroom.

In response to an email, a Bell spokeswoman said, “We will not be responding to any further questions on this matter.” Ms. LaFlamme could not immediately be reached for comment.

Mr. Bibic’s post did not quell the growing anger over Ms LaFlamme’s departure.

Over the weekend, a former prime minister, Kim Campbell, joined the singers Sarah McLachlan and Anne Murray and other high-profile Canadians in condemning the dismissal, saying Bell had “confirmed one sad truth: Even after all the progress women have made, they continue to face sexism and ageism at work every day.’’

In its initial statement about Ms. LaFlamme, Bell Media said its decision had been driven by “changing viewer habits,” without offering further details. In a subsequent statement , the company said that CTV “regrets that the way in which the news of her departure has been communicated may have left viewers with the wrong impression about how CTV regards Lisa.”

In that statement, Wade Oosterman, the president of the company, and Karine Moses, a senior vice president, announced “an independent third-party internal workplace review of our newsroom.” The executives said they took “matters regarding any discrimination very seriously and are committed to a safe, inclusive and respectful work environment for all our employees, devoid of any toxic behavior.”

The dismissal of Ms. LaFlamme, who was most likely one of the newsroom’s highest-paid employees, followed a torrent of layoffs and budget cuts at CTV’s network and local news operations over the past seven years , which were made despite government assistance to news organizations . As in the United States, the internet and years of collapsing advertising revenue have left many Canadian news organizations in dire financial straits . The executive put on leave, Michael Melling, had overseen recent layoffs and cuts at CTV.

Though some speculated that Ms. LaFlamme’s dismissal was tied to the financial crisis in journalism, most conversations centered on a deeply rooted problem that extends far beyond the news industry: sexism. Many journalists and viewers noted that two male longtime anchors before Ms. LaFlamme, one at CTV and one at another major broadcaster, were able to retire at 69 and 77 , and that both were able to offer their farewells on-air.

“The media landscape has obviously been pretty turbulent in previous years: We’ve seen quite a lot of firing and replacing of anchors and anchor teams,” said Sylvia Fuller, a sociologist at the University of British Columbia who studies inequality in the labor market. “But nobody of that stature, and nobody of that stature in a way that the departure has not been highly managed.”

Amanda Watson, a sociologist at Simon Fraser University who studies media, said Ms. LaFlamme’s dismissal resonated with many people because it spoke to the problem of economic precarity — the risk of losing a job despite significant success over a long career — and because of the anchor’s sex and age.

“Women were scared to see that, and also angry, because it’s a fear that we all have,” she said. Many women, she said, are asking, “Wow, if this could happen to her, how could it not happen to me in my low-profile job?”

Ms. LaFlamme was widely praised when she stopped dyeing her hair in 2020, a decision that many called laudable in the face of the double standards that women encounter over their appearances in the workplace. In a year-end special , Ms. LaFlamme said that after being unable to visit her stylist during the pandemic, she “finally said: ‘Why bother? I’m going gray.’ Honestly, if I had known the lockdown could be so liberating on that front I would have done it a lot sooner.”

Dr. Fuller said the decision to let her hair go gray was a way of signaling that “you’re beyond having to cater to social expectations. Your age and experience should be read as a gravitas, as power.”

Stacy Lee Kong, a journalist and culture critic who writes a weekly newsletter, Friday Things , said: “It was also very powerful to see someone in such an image-related industry who made a decision to change her hair in that way. I know that sounds superficial, and it sounds silly, but there’s a lot tied up in our hair, and there’s a lot tied up in going gray.”

Ms. LaFlamme was at the top of her profession, having interviewed heads of state and reported from countries in conflict and disaster-stricken cities, among them Iraq and Afghanistan after Sept. 11; New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. She covered the Olympics, royal weddings and the deaths of leaders like Fidel Castro and Pope John Paul II. In 2020, she won a lifetime achievement award .

Dr. Watson said her career might be compared to that of Katie Couric, who was the first woman to serve as the sole anchor of a major network evening news program in the United States.

Largely overshadowed by the controversy, CTV this month named Omar Sachedina, a national correspondent, to replace Ms. LaFlamme, an announcement that many hailed on its own terms. “A Muslim man helming the biggest national news program — history,” tweeted the Global News journalist Ahmar Khan. “But, diversity doesn’t cover the gaps of mistreatment.”

Ian Austen in Ottawa and Vjosa Isai in Toronto contributed reporting.

An earlier version of this article referred incorrectly to the networks of two news anchors who preceded Ms. LaFlamme as anchors of major news programs. One of them worked at CTV. They did not both work at CTV.

CityNews hires Lisa LaFlamme as special correspondent

Recently ousted ctv chief anchor will be in london covering queen elizabeth's death and legacy.

A woman smiles while holding an award on stage.

Social Sharing

CityNews has hired veteran news anchor Lisa LaFlamme as a special correspondent to lead its coverage of the death and legacy of Queen Elizabeth.

LaFlamme herself made headlines across the country last month when she was fired as chief news anchor for  CTV National News . The move prompted widespread speculation about whether she had been fired for political reasons or had been a victim of ageism in the workplace.

CTV said the decision to end LaFlamme's contract was due to "changing viewer habits." Bell Media, which owns CTV, later said it regretted how LaFlamme's departure was handled, and that it would initiate a third-party independent workplace review of its newsroom.

LaFlamme's new employer, CityNews, said she will travel to London to provide daily television and radio reporting on the legacy of Queen Elizabeth and the transition to the reign of King Charles, and will lead live coverage of the Queen's funeral.

"The Queen is the only monarch most of us have ever known. We grew up with Her Majesty and mourn the passing of this remarkable and inspiring woman," said LaFlamme in a statement released by CityNews.

CAJ raises concerns over editorial interference at CTV National News

"As this second Elizabethan era comes to an end, I can only say how truly honoured I am to help tell the story of her life and the legacy she leaves."

Rogers Sports and Media, the parent company of CityNews, said LaFlamme's reporting will be made available on all of its platforms.

"News coverage of such a pivotal moment in history is integral to achieving our mission of keeping Canadians connected and informed, and Lisa LaFlamme's incredible talent and wealth of experience are befitting of an event of this magnitude," said Rogers president Colette Watson.

Could be 'really great' for CityNews 

Initial reaction to LaFlamme's arrival has been positive among those in and outside of Rogers, says Connie Thiessen, the editor of  Broadcast Dialogue , an industry trade publication focused on Canadian broadcast media.

"This could be a really great thing for the network," she said, but added this is a one-time special correspondence event. 

"As far as what the relationship with LaFlamme is going to look like in the future, that's to be determined."   

A Rogers spokesperson confirmed to CBC News that, for now, this is a one-time, temporary assignment for LaFlamme.

"The focus right now is on our commemorative coverage plans and Lisa will lead that coverage for CityNews as a special correspondent just until after the funeral," they said in a statement. 

Thiessen says public interest in LaFlamme's departure from CTV News has been huge.

  • Bell Media 'regrets' handling of Lisa LaFlamme ouster

"We've had almost a full four weeks of headlines generated from that incident," she said. "I can't remember the last time that a story surrounding traditional television made headlines for that length of time."

"The whole handling of this from a public relations perspective is a cautionary tale from all of the other networks in how they handle the very challenging transition from a traditional television focused audience to a digital and on demand product."

Lisa LaFlamme

Published Online September 28, 2022

Last Edited September 28, 2022

Lisa LaFlamme, OC , OOnt , journalist, broadcaster (born 1964 in Kitchener, ON). Lisa LaFlamme is known for her long and distinguished career as a high-profile television journalist. She was the first woman to host CTV National News , a role she held — as chief news anchor and senior editor — for over a decade. She was named Best National News Anchor at the Canadian Screen Awards five times. Her abrupt termination from CTV, announced in August 2022, was met with broad public outrage. She has been appointed to the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario .

Early Life and Education

Lisa LaFlamme grew up in Kitchener , Ontario , the third of four daughters born to David and Kathleen LaFlamme. David was a Franco-Ontarian from Kitchener who worked as a building contractor; Kathleen was a British immigrant . After graduating from St. Mary’s High School, Lisa worked as an au pair in France for two years, where she perfected her French . She then returned to Canada and enrolled in university .

LaFlamme graduated from the University of Ottawa with an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Communications in 1988. She then took a job as a summer “fill-in” in the joint newsroom of Kitchener’s CKCO-TV, CKKW-AM and CFCA-FM. She handled a wide variety of newsroom tasks, including writing the television newscasts and preparing and anchoring radio newscasts.

Early Career

LaFlamme’s career began in earnest after impressing CKCO’s news director with her work ethic; she was offered a position as a regular part-time reporter on television and radio. She was promoted to a full-time position in the news department in 1991. In 1994, she became a co-host of CKCO’s evening and nightly newscasts.

Career Highlights

In 1997, LaFlamme sent audition tapes of her work to CTV , which was launching a new 24-hour specialty news channel, CTV Newsnet. She was hired after a lengthy process involving many candidates. LaFlamme quickly made a name for herself and became CTV Newsnet’s primary anchor in 1998. Two years later, she was promoted to become CTV’s parliamentary reporter. She was promoted again the following year to become co-anchor of the network’s flagship morning show, Canada AM . Within two years, she was named national affairs correspondent for CTV’s prime-time news program, CTV National News . During this time, she travelled extensively to cover major world events, including the death of Pope John Paul II, the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the 2010 Haiti Earthquake.

In 2011, LaFlamme replaced long-time CTV News anchor Lloyd Robertson as full-time anchor at CTV News. LaFlamme then became chief anchor and senior editor of the CTV National News . During her tenure in this role, LaFlamme continued reporting from abroad and covering major news events, including the aftermath of the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, the death of Fidel Castro in 2016 and the centennial of the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 2017. She also covered the papal conclave that led to the election of Pope Francis, Nelson Mandela’s memorial service, the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi and the papal visit to Canada in 2022. LaFlamme also provided extensive coverage of Canada’s involvement in the War in Afghanistan and of numerous federal elections.

Did you know? Lloyd Robertson enthusiastically supported having a woman, and LaFlamme specifically, as his successor. When she was announced as his replacement, he said, “Guys like me have sat in the chair for too long,” and “There aren’t enough words to express how much I admire her.”

Termination and Controversy

On 15 August 2022, LaFlamme announced on social media that she had been let go from her position at CTV . She described feeling “blindsided” by the move. At the time of her dismissal, the CTV National News had been the top-ranked national news broadcast in Canada for many years. She was told it was a “business decision” by the network’s parent company, Bell Media.

Immediate public outrage at the decision followed. Many observers noted that other long-serving anchors of major network newscasts, such as Lloyd Robertson (who retired at age 77) and Peter Mansbridge (who retired at 69), had left on their own terms with great fanfare. LaFlamme, 58 at the time, was told not to speak of her dismissal for nearly two months.

According to reports, LaFlamme may have been let go to cut costs amid the network’s shift to digital content. Subsequent reporting said that Michael Melling, vice-president of news at Bell Media, had clashed with LaFlamme as she disagreed with some of his directives. There were also suggestions that ageism and sexism were behind the move. Most notably, the Globe and Mail revealed that Melling had previously questioned LaFlamme’s decision to let her hair “go grey” during the COVID-19 pandemic . In response, Bell Canada Enterprises Inc. issued a statement that Michael Melling had gone on leave and that “Lisa’s age, gender or grey hair” did not factor into the decision to end her contract.

In addition to the furor within Canada — which included a full-page advertisement placed in the Globe and Mail by a group of prominent Canadians protesting LaFlamme’s dismissal – her departure, and the alleged circumstances behind it, also received international coverage in many major media outlets, including CNN and the Guardian .

Career After CTV

Roughly a month after she announced her dismissal from CTV, LaFlamme was hired to cover the death and funeral of Queen Elizabeth II as a special correspondent for CityNews (which is owned by Bell’s rival, Rogers Communications ). “It is truly an honour to be able to reflect on the legacy of this remarkable woman who I’ve admired my entire life,” LaFlamme said at the time.

Volunteer Work

Lisa LaFlamme has supported numerous charitable organizations throughout her career. In 2013, she travelled with Journalists for Human Rights to help mentor and train journalists in the Democratic Republic of Congo. LaFlamme is an ambassador for PLAN International, which works to combat child poverty around the globe. She has also volunteered with Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan. It seeks to improve the quality of life for Afghani women and their families, chiefly through education.

Awards and Honours

Lisa LaFlamme has been recognized as a trailblazer for women in Canadian journalism . In 2014, Maclean’s named her one of the 50 most important people in Canada. She has received several honorary degrees, including from her alma mater, the University of Ottawa . The university also granted her the Meritas-Tabaret Award for Alumni Achievement and the Distinguished Canadian Award. She has also received an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Wilfrid Laurier University . In 2018, she delivered the convocation speech at the University of Windsor and received an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree.

LaFlamme won the Canadian Screen Award for Best National News Anchor five times (2014, 2015, 2017, 2021 and 2022). She also won the Bert Canning Award for Best Newscast, issued by the Radio-Television News Directors Association, five years in a row (2012–16).

In 2016, LaFlamme was appointed to the Order of Ontario , both for her contributions as a journalist and for her advocacy and charity work. LaFlamme was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2019, for her contributions to journalism and her commitment to human rights .

A popular, award-winning TV news anchor is fired. Was it the hair?

lisa laflamme biography

For years, until her unceremonious firing this week, Lisa LaFlamme was a fixture in living rooms across Canada.

The abrupt dismissal of one of the country’s most prominent television journalists — she has led Canada’s most watched nightly newscast since 2011, and this year won the Canadian Screen Award for best national news anchor— has drawn both a backlash and a national conversation about sexism and age discrimination in the media.

LaFlamme, who covered the biggest stories of her time, including elections, wars and natural disasters, posted a video to Twitter Monday announcing that she had been informed in late June that her career with CTV News was over after parent company Bell Media decided to end her contract. She had worked for the network for 35 years and had just under two years left on her contract, according to the Globe and Mail.

“I was blindsided and am still shocked and saddened by Bell Media’s decision,” LaFlamme said, adding that she had been asked to keep her firing confidential for weeks.

“At 58, I still thought I’d have a lot more time to tell more of the stories that impact our daily lives,” she told followers. “While it is crushing to be leaving CTV National News in a manner that is not my choice, please know reporting to you has truly been the greatest honor of my life and I thank you for always being there.”

In a statement Monday, CTV said it had made a “business decision” to pursue a “different direction” for the chief news anchor role, citing “changing viewer habits.” The network announced the same day that national affairs correspondent Omar Sachedina, 39, would step into the role.

LaFlamme’s firing drew condemnation from viewers, colleagues in the media industry and prominent figures in Canada, including retired Grammy-winning singer Anne Murray .

The Canadian media have continuing to cover the fallout, with reports suggested various factors behind LaFlamme’s firing, including clashes between the anchor and CTV News head Michael Melling over resources for coverage of the war in Ukraine, among other issues.

But one avenue of speculation has touched a nerve among Canadian women left wondering: Was it the hair?

LaFlamme made headlines when she stopped dyeing her hair in 2020. During a special year-in-review broadcast, she told viewers that the pandemic had prevented her from visiting her hairstylist, and she was tired of spraying her roots each day before going on air, according to the Globe and Mail. “I finally said, ‘Why bother? I’m going gray,’ she said. “Honestly, if I had known the lockdown could be so liberating on that front I would have done it a lot sooner.”

The move resonated with Canadian women who have faced societal pressure to dye their hair. But it apparently ruffled the feathers of top CTV News executive Michael Melling, the Globe and Mail reported .

A senior CTV official told the newspaper that Melling had asked who had approved the decision to “let Lisa’s hair go gray” and later commented on the purple hue of LaFlamme’s locks under studio lighting.

Shortly after Michael Melling became head of CTV News, he raised questions about host Lisa LaFlamme’s hair. According to a senior CTV official who was present at the meeting, Mr. Melling asked who had approved the decision to “let Lisa’s hair go grey.” https://t.co/XQb9zb9N65 — Robyn Doolittle (@robyndoolittle) August 18, 2022

Canadian women took to Twitter this week to celebrate the former anchor for embracing her gray hair and owning her age.

“Lisa LaFlamme allowed herself to age on camera and in doing so gave me the confidence to shine in my natural beauty as I age,” one Twitter user, Sarah M, wrote on Monday, calling CTV News’ decision “a massive mistake.”

Others worried that LaFlamme’s firing would send a message to middle-aged women that they could face professional consequences if they opted for a more natural look.

Hey @CTVNews at the beginning of the pandemic I gave up being a bottled blonde and embraced the grey. I took inspiration from women like Lisa LaFlamme who we watched every day. We grew gray together. Women across Canada will remember the message you sent to us with her firing. pic.twitter.com/s6NQUAfvIB — Christine Cooper 💪🙋‍♀️🦹‍♀️ (@coopSpeak) August 18, 2022

Many suggested sexism and ageism had played a role in LaFlamme’s dismissal. Some media experts pointed out that her predecessor, Lloyd Robertson, retired from the chief anchor role at 77 and was given an on-air send off.

Bell Media did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.

LaFlamme “has made an important contribution to Canadian television news over the past 35 years,” read a statement Bell Media posted to Twitter Monday, signed by company president Wade Oosterman and senior vice president Karine Moses. The company would initiate an independent, third-party “internal workplace review of our newsroom,” the statement continued.

LaFlamme’s dismissal led some to call for Melling’s ouster , and Canadian media reported that CTV News has been forced to do damage control with its own employees.

Moses said in an email to staff that LaFlamme was given the opportunity to say goodbye to viewers before she left the anchor’s chair, but that she had “opted not to say goodbye to the public,” Canadian broadcaster Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported . The anchor shake-up was part of a shift toward digital content creation at the news outlet, Moses wrote.

The backlash to LaFlamme’s firing has sparked its own backlash. In right-wing circles, figures such as Maxime Bernier, head of the far-right People’s Party of Canada, seizing the moment to divert attention to the firing by Canadian companies of thousands of workers who declined coronavirus vaccines.

Some prominent media figures, meanwhile, lamented that the controversy around LaFlamme’s ouster obscured the significance of her replacement’s hiring. Sachedina, an award-winning reporter who has worked at CTV News since 2009, was born in Canada to parents of Indian descent from Uganda — an underrepresented background in Canadian media.

“A Muslim man helming the biggest National news program — history,” Global News journalist Ahmar Khan t weeted . “But, diversity doesn’t cover the gaps of mistreatment.”

Dear Ms Laflamme: It’s such a pleasure to watch you on the National News and my husband and I just want to thank you for your straight forward reporting. June and Andy Ross, Youbou B.C.

LISA LAFLAMME IS THE BEST NEWSCASTER AROUND THE GLOBE . HER NEWSCASTS ARE VERY FACTUAL AND ALWAYS PRESENTED IN MANNER OF KNOWLEDGE AND SINCERITY OF EACH STORY SHE REPORTS . SHE KNOWS THE STORY VERY WELL INDEED BEFORE SHE PRESENTS IT TO HER AUDIENCE . SHE IS A TRUTHFUL REPORTER WITH HIGH STANDARDS . SHE IS A CLASSY LADY WHO ALWAYS LOOKS GREAT AS A NEWS ANCHOR .

Watched her for years during her career in Kitchener and always enjoyed the professionalism she demonstrated. Although she left us to further her career at CTV it was always a pleasure having her at home in Kitchener- Waterloo. Miss the short wavy hair but she still looks fantastic.

We wonder if your white flower pin holds a significance?

I was also wondering about that beautiful pin you wear everyday . Is it part of the Order of Canada ?

Too driven on career I suspect to engage in a relationship. From where I have that’s called, at her age, a “cold fish”. Thus the nose jobs, chin tucks, etc.

your hair is absolutely beautiful…..love the natural.

Isn’t it weird to want to have measurements of her breasts, hips and waist, unless you’re tailoring her clothing? People are too involved in other people’s business. It’s creepy. And who cares what size her breasts are? Like isn’t her role in Canada enough for you???? She’s done so much to ensure that Canadians know what is going on. Leave her breasts out of it, it makes you sound like a total creep!

Jo. I agree with you completely. Well said.

Love watching you every night. You are one of the best newscasters. Just love your hair.

Lisa is so beautiful so at times I’m just staring at her and not listening to what she’s reporting..She’s the best for me…More power Lisa and God bless you always.

During Covid I could often only handle the voice of Lisa and her straightforward but sympathetic and kind manner. The world was stressful enough without the frowns or high pitched voices of others snd her dignity and fashion style were a lift and blessing. Hope all goes well health wise Lisa and thank you for your gift to the news channel
