I really like Adrienne, she communicates very clearly her writing is excellent. I always think a good test for a newsperson is when they are forced to ad-lib. Some news people are not very good at this and it shows. 

She was one of the anchors of the CBC coverage of the Raptors parade in Toronto. Completely thrown out of her element, speaking about basketball and a parade for hours. She was excellent, did her research about the players and she spoke a lot about Toronto (her hometown) and also it showed that she has a good sense of humour. As you might recall, the parade took hours longer than what was planned because of the crowd size. I just remember Adrienne handling everything like a pro and she came across like she was really enjoying the whole day.

When you have reported in most of the  troubled spots in the world and witnessed the worst of the worst, I guess handling something like the Raptors victory parade would have been a nice change.  But it would still be a challenge when this is something that is totally different to what you normally do.    

That would have been a great seminar and talk to attend.  And the fact that it was held at the National War Museum was reason enough to buy a ticket.
