Ian Hanomansing
Nationally renowned television reporter and host Ian Hanomansing was born in Trinidad in 1961 and came to Sackville with his parents less than a year later. Even during his formative years it was evident that he would become an artist of the spoken word.
By the time he graduated from Mount Allison University he had won national debating championships at both high school and university levels. He had also discovered a passion for broadcasting, starting in 1979 with an on-air job at radio station CKDH in Amherst, NS. That experience would lead eventually to employment with the CBC and ultimately to his emergence as one of Canada’s foremost broadcast journalists.
At its finest, the art of broadcast journalism combines factual clarity with interpretive empathy and colourful narrative skill. Ian’s eminence as a reporter and interpreter of events has been acknowledged through the presentation of many honours, including a Justicia Award for excellence in legal reporting, a Gemini Award for best news anchor and a Canadian Screen Award for best breaking news coverage.
