Former CTV news anchor Lisa LaFlamme is among those invested with the Order of Canada. Governor General Mary Simon honored 44 inductees in a ceremony at Rideau Hall this morning. LaFlamme was named an officer of the order in 2019. A report on her investiture hails LaFlamme as one of Canada’s most recognizable journalists and an “inspirational role model in news broadcasting.” LaFlamme’s sudden firing from CTV’s flagship newscast in August prompted surprise and concern that she may have been fired because of her appearance, which Bell Media denied. Other honorees receiving their badges today included brewer John Sleeman, Cirque du Soleil co-founder Gilles Ste-Croix and race car driver Ron Fellows.
