I sure didn’t. In this unscientific study we (armed alongside a University of Guelph Microbiologist) took samples from 50 cell phones on the streets of Toronto. Turns out our gadgets are breeding grounds for germs, fecal matter, even medicine-resistant super bugs! Yuck. Watch this, then get the antibacterial wipes out!
It’s exactly what it sounds like. Love it or hate this new infant accessory has parents we talked to up in arms, but we did find one big supporter. All you other expectant moms out there NEED to weigh in on this VIDEO. A head band, with hair on it, so that people know your bald baby girl is in fact a girl for those few months before her hair comes in. I guess you could say it’s a product for the little girl that has everything…but hair.
Our entire newsroom fell in love with this little guy. And we are so thrilled that CityNews viewers rallied to support 1 year old Mackenzie and his parents as they fought to have his out-of-province eye surgery covered by the Ontario Government. Good news! You’ve spoken and the government has listened. Here’s the VIDEO on Mackenzie’s fight for sight, and first hand reaction from his family the day I met them. CityNews has been following his journey for the past year as he’s tried to overcome the rare eye condition he was born with (which only 3 kids in Ontario have). Oh, and did I mention he’s ADORABLE?!
It was such a joy meeting Max Begley and his family. His story and the letter his grandmother received touched people around the world. You may have heard of the autistic boy, who’s grandmother in Newcastle got a vile letter suggesting he be euthanized. 1 week later, the close-knit community rallied together in such an incredible way for Max. It was inspiring to see such a positive come from that negative. And, you have to see the amazing moments in this VIDEO, from the lead-up story we did on the ride. When we were at the Begley’s home, we saw first hand the love for max… Random companies had shipped gifts to Max’s home when they heard about what happened to him. He and his family are touched by the support.
Fan Expo 2013. Reporter one day, storm trooper the next? You kind of have to watch the video to understand… Plus I’ll give you the low-down on the lead-up to the epic Mayor vs. Hulk arm wrestling match.
As an expectant first-time mom many of my stories these days are all about diving into that world of baby-bumps! Here I take a look at a study that suggests medical science gets it wrong when it comes to properly predicting a due date for expectant mothers….by up to 5 weeks. Yeah, keeping us waiting, not a good idea.

Check out the inspiring woman I got to meet yesterday. Turns 90 years old and wants to live on the edge! Literally: with a walk on the CN tower. Must see!

EXCLUSIVE: CHATTING WITH #1 NBA PICK ANTHONY BENNETT
June 29th, 2013
Just 2 days after making Canadian basketball history, I was lucky enough to chat with the first canuck to be picked first overall in the NBA draft. You’ll love this sweet interview and how he credits his hardworking, single-mom for his success. We were the only ones there to meet Anthony as he arrived back to Toronto at PIA. Awesome day, even tho I had to crane my neck A LOT for the 6ft 8″ forward!
