Shannon Bain , BA / 98

Named one of the Forty Under 40 by the Ottawa Business Journal in 2007, Shannon Bain knows adaptability is a key to her success. “The media business is constantly changing and in order to be successful you need to be ready to take on new tasks and challenges,” she says.

Bain played a key role in the development and implementation of the launch of A-Channel Morning in 2001, and is proud of the impact that Ottawa’s only local morning program makes in the community. Bain served as Director, community and media relations, A-Channel Television, from 2001-2009.

Bain works closely with the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation to help produce the Cancer Foundation Telethon and was inspired to get involved herself, as a member of the A Channel Pink Army participating in the Weekend to End Breast Cancer.
