What nationality is Lisa LaFlamme? Does Lisa LaFlamme have siblings?

Lisa LaFlamme is a Canadian television journalist. She was born in Kitchener, Ontario.

She is the former chief anchor and senior editor of CTV National News, replacing Lloyd Robertson in this role on September 5, 2011.

LaFlamme began her career at CTV’s Kitchener affiliate CKCO in 1989 as a copy writer and script assistant.

She became an anchor in 1997.

Does Lisa LaFlamme have siblings?

LaFlamme was born to David and Kathleen LaFlamme and she has three siblings; Colleen Boehmer, Christine Lang and Joanne McKenzie.

LaFlamme has been in the news because of the termination of her contract by Bell Media, owners of CTV due to a “business decision” to take the programme in a “different direction”.

However, LaFlamme believes that her contract was terminated because of her decision to go grey.

Eventually the CEO of Bell Media, Mirko Bibic, made a statement on LinkedIn that disputed the controversy around LaFlamme’s firing.

Bibic wrote;

“The narrative has been that Lisa’s age, gender or gray hair played into the decision.

“I am satisfied that this is not the case and wanted to make sure you heard it from me.”

Bibic went on to cite changing viewer behaviors and declining ratings as the reason for a number of layoffs that have taken place under Bell Media — but it’s clear that many people aren’t buying it.
