• Awarded on: April 27, 2000
• Invested on: February 28, 2001

An accomplished actor, comedian, director and writer, she has entertained Canadians for more than two decades. A founding member of CODCO, Newfoundland's award-winning comedy troupe and the CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes, she has created delightfully quirky characters like Connie, Dakey and Marg - national lampoons with a distinctly Canadian identity. The demands of a successful career notwithstanding, she is a committed activist who has supported the St. John's Resource Centre for the Arts and Oxfam Canada's campaign for human rights.
