Award-winning filmmaker and producer Frances-Anne Solomon will receive the 2022 WIFT Toronto Crystal Award for Mentorship.

Michael Melling, former Head of CTV News, who more recently held the title of VP, Shared Services, is among the new names to emerge from Bell Media’s latest round of job cuts. In addition to some of the high-profile departures previously reported, those impacted across iHeartRadio Canada include Virgin Radio syndicated host DJ Starting From Scratch, CHOM host Jason Rockman, Virgin Radio Vancouver (CFBT-FM) personality Angelina Rai, and Move 103.5 (CHQM-FM) Vancouver weekend host Arran Henn. Additional casualties in sports programming include TSN 1260 (CFRN-AM) Edmonton host Dustin Nielson and Assistant PD and on-call television reporter Matthew Iwanyk, as well as Oilers’ pre- and post-game host Tom Gazzola, TSN host/producer Kelcey Brade, TSN ‘Top 10’ specials producer Greg Sands, and CTV Vancouver sports producer and photojournalist Gary Rutherford, in addition to CTV Morning Live Edmonton morning show anchor Ziyah Karmali, among many others. The CTV Vancouver Island newsroom was also hit hard as the bureau moves to a single, weekday newscast, remotely-anchored from Vancouver.

At the beginning of “Hero: Inspired by the Extraordinary Life & Times of Mr. Ulric Cross,” a bio-doc on the life of Ulric Cross and now available on premium VOD in the Cineplex Store, the film’s subject says, “When I was appointed High Commissioner in London the Foreign Office asked, ‘How did I wish to be addressed?’ Judge? Which I had been. Professor. Which I had been. Squadron leader? Which I had been.”

It’s wonderful seeing Regina King, Chloe Zhao and Michaela Coel taking their well-deserved place at the SAG and Golden Globe Award nominations. As a film director who is also a Black woman, I celebrate this moment and their achievements. Their recognition vindicates all of us who have been struggling in the shadows for so long and brings hope for women of colour coming up in the ranks.

Sheridan College is celebrating Black History Month with a new partnership with Black Mentorship Inc. (BMI).

Canadian filmmaker and recently the feature for our Women Empowered section, Frances-Anne Solomon, received an award for her film HERO which showcased at the Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) in Los Angeles.
