Winter weather warrior

Well actually, it’s been a mild winter for much of Southern Ontario. However, it’s been a blast doing a bit of storm chasing and winter weather reporting on the road for the Weather Network when we have had some active weather. Normally you can find me in studio anchoring the weekend afternoon show from 12-2pm ET. Till then, bundle-up and stay-warm. And a huge thank you to Columbia Sportswear for outfitting all of our team at TWN to stay fashionable and prepared for elements!!

On TWN and CBC!

It’s been an honour to inform Canadians from coast-to-coast on their weather details on The Weather Network. Now, you can see me occasionally back with my former colleagues at the CBC! It’s an exciting partnership while working as a weather anchor with TWN and helping to bringing you the most update and accurate weather forecasts on CBC as well as always on The Weather Network!

Supporting the Alzheimer’s Society

It’s been over a year since I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer’s and I’m honoured to be sharing the story of her beautiful soul as I emcee an upcoming event for the Alzheimers Society of Toronto. Sharing experiences is one way we can all cope with this horrible disease. Click Here: Saphia Khambalia’s connection to Alzheimer’s to read more.

Ch-ch-ch Changes…

Sorry for the delay in announcing this news here! It’s been a busy few weeks. I’ve decided after a lovely maternity leave that I won’t be heading back to my reporting position with the great team at Citytv. Time for some personal and professional changes, and I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve joined the on-air roster at The Weather Network! A huge thanks to all of my colleagues and viewers who made Citytv such an incredible place to work. I’m excited to take on new challenges as a National Anchor with TWN. Hope you will continue to follow along! Thanks for being a part of all the fun these past 4 years with City, Toronto!

Trip down memory lane…

These folks at Oh baby! Magazine were so much fun to work with. Here’s another piece I did with them a while back while working as a CityNews Reporter. Give this one on one a read if you have a chance, we talked about everything from pregnancy to potty training! It was important for me to express how we moms shouldn’t judge the choices each other make. Each baby and each parent is so different! What matters is getting through each day and giving ourselves a pat on the back! Thanks for reading! This snap is pre-baby! Oh baby, how rested I look!!!

Ice Ice Baby!

Throw back time! Can’t believe this chat with Oh baby! Magazine was almost a year ago. Seemed fitting to post it now because it’s just as icy and cold outside this winter as it was last year when we welcomed in our little guy during the big Ontario ice storm! Read about the adventure here including how the hospital we delivered in lost power, during my labour! For real!

Happy New Year!

Thank you to all of you for following along this site. Hoping that 2015 will bring you all much love and joy! I’m counting our blessings this year and am so humbled to have partnered up with some incredible organizations to give back to others in need. Special shout-out to the Oakville Parent-Child Centre. Here’s a snap from this years Breakfast with Santa 2014. 400 attendees, many singing children and of course the big man in red. Along with my special little helper, I was so happy to be the Emcee this year. If you’d like more info check out their site! Cheers to all and best of luck for this year!

Everyday Heroes. Extrodinary Hope.

I’m always proud to participate in the Parkinson SuperWalk! Thanks for having me back again this year to speak to the crowd. It was an especially emotional time – this is the first event I’ve been at since my Grandfather’s passing. He loved listening to the stories of those that fought the disease alongside him and this year was no different. Check out the video as the Citytv cameras were there to support the largest national fundraising event for Parkinson Society Canada! Tens of thousands of participants from coast-to-coast get involved. Last year close to 3 million dollars were raised for support services, research and advocacy….and most of all for continued HOPE!

I’d love to see you out at the Toronto walk next year! Visit parkinsonsuperwalk.ca for more information, to donate to the cause, or get involved as a volunteer! OR: There are hundreds of walks across the country, find one or start one near you! Thanks for reading!!
