Is Lisa LaFlamme still working?

Lisa LaFlamme is an award-winning news anchor with a 35-year career in journalism.

She began her career at CTV’s Kitchener affiliate CKCO in 1989 as a copy writer and script assistant and became an ancho in 1997.

On August 15, 2022, LaFlamme posted a video on Twitter explaining that she had been fired from CTV.

“I guess this is my sign-off from CTV,” LaFlamme said in the video shared to Twitter.

She made it clear the decision had been made by Bell Media, the company that owns CTV, and even went on to say she felt “blindsided” by the news.

Though Bell Media claims that LaFlamme’s contract was terminated due to a “business decision” to take the programme in a “different direction”, LaFlamme highly believes that her contract termination was due to a decision she made in 2020 to go grey.

On September 9, 2022, barely a month after her contract termination, LaFlamme had another job.

Rogers Media, owners of City News Toronto announced that it had hired LaFlamme as a special correspondent to cover the death of Queen Elizabeth II and her legacy.
