CityNews has announced it has hired veteran news anchor Lisa LaFlamme as a special correspondent to lead its coverage of the death and legacy of Queen Elizabeth.
CBC NewsBell Media, parent company of CTV News, has faced widespread criticism of its decision to dismiss chief anchor Lisa LaFlamme.
CTV said the decision to end LaFlamme's contract was due to "changing viewer habits." Bell Media, which owns CTV, later said it regretted the way in which LaFlamme's departure was handled, and the company announced it would initiate a third-party internal workplace review of its newsroom. "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.
