Canada AM Co-Host Marci Ien is one of Canada’s most recognized and respected broadcasters.

She has interviewed newsmakers from Desmond Tutu to Deepak Chopra; covered six federal elections; and anchored when news broke of the devastating earthquake in Japan, and the terror attacks in London in 2005.

Ien’s news series “Journey to Freedom — A Look at the Underground Railroad” for Hamilton’s CHCH-TV earned her a Canadian Radio and Television News Directors’ Award in 1995. In 2008, she received the Black Business and Professional Association’s (BBPA) prestigious Harry Jerome Award. A tireless advocate for education, Ien has travelled to Sierra Leone in 2008 on behalf of Journalists for Human Rights. Ien is also a proud Torontonian and a mother of two.
