Mullinger meets Ian Hanomansing, the co-host of CBC’s flagship news show The National. Hanomansing was born in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, and grew up in Sackville, New Brunswick. He graduated with an honours B.A. in political science and sociology from Mount Allison University in Sackville, where he was valedictorian; he also has a law degree from Dalhousie University in Halifax. While in university, Hanomansing won six national university debating and public speaking championships. He began his broadcasting career at CKDH Radio in Amherst, Nova Scotia, working at radio stations in Moncton and Halifax before joining CBC in Halifax in 1986. His assignments took him to Toronto the following year and eventually to Vancouver, where he was a national reporter for fourteen years.

 

In his new book Pandemic Spotlight: Canadian Doctors at the Front of the COVID-19 Fight, Hanomansing profiles Canadian infectious disease doctors who stepped up to guide the nation through its worst medical crisis in a century. There are a few silver linings in the COVID storm but one of them is how these doctors put science front and centre and became public symbols of trust and hope. As they prepare to return to their private careers, they respond to Hanomansing's invitation to reflect on lessons learned and their concerns about the next pandemic. All author royalties from sales of the book are going to UBC's Centre for Health Education Scholarship. 

 

Mullinger and Hanomansing compare notes on life in New Brunswick, a life spent in journalism and what they have learned over the past two years.
