CTV News Montreal's ray of sunshine — Lori Graham — is leaving the station after more than 25 years.
The longtime weather specialist announced on Tuesday that she is saying goodbye to her CTV family to spend more time giving back to the community, specifically, her faith community on the South Shore.
Her last day on air will be May 30.
While she's known for her work on CTV, Graham got her start in media at CJAD 800 after the radio station hired her while in her second year studying broadcast journalism at Concordia University. She went on to work as a traffic reporter, news reporter and newscaster while finishing her studies.
She crossed over to television after CTV hired her to present the weather during the infamous 1998 ice storm in what she calls her "baptism by ice."
She has long been a familiar face in the community during her broadcast career, most notably as co-host of CTV News Montreal’s Telethon of Stars to raise money for pediatric research. Some of her most thrilling TV appearances were when she presented the weather live while rappelling down a skyscraper in downtown Montreal and when she did a live segment while participating in the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS.
Another memorable moment for her was doing "Celebrity Weather" when she trained and performed evening weather alongside famous faces like P.K. Subban, Anthony Calvillo, Sugar Sammy, Eugénie Bouchard and then-mayor Denis Coderre.
