    Don Connolly, Emcee Former Host of CBC Information Morning Superintendent Jim Perrin Criminal Investigation Division, Halifax R

    Don Connolly, Emcee Former Host of CBC Information Morning Born in Antigonish, N.S., and raised in Bathurst, N.B., Don spent the last 42 years of his journalism career as the host of CBC Information Morning, broadcasting out of Halifax. Widely recognized as one of the most distinct radio personalities in Atlantic Canada, Don first joined the morning team as an interviewer in 1976. Before that, he worked with a handful of radio stations across eastern Canada, including CKBC in Bathurst, CHNS in Halifax, and CFGO in Ottawa. The breadth of stories Don has brought us over four decades is too vast to cover here. Among his favourite work was covering elections — municipal, provincial and federal, he delivered the results of countless visits to the polls. There were difficult days too; when the Westray Mine exploded, when Swissair Flight 111 crashed, and when Hurricane Juan made landfall, Don’s soothing tones brought information and a sense of calm to his listeners. Don retired from journalism on Jan. 26, 2018, and is enjoying time with friends and family at home in Halifax. Superintendent Jim Perrin Criminal Investigation Division, Halifax Regional Police Superintendent Perrin is the officer-in-charge of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division and its various support units, including forensic identification, digital forensics, criminal intelligence and crime analysis. He began his policing career in 1989, serving in general patrol, various street crime units and investigative units. Since being promoted to the rank of superintendent in 2009, he has held the positions of Divisional Commander and officer-in-charge of the Support Division.

David Johnston, right, presents Jim Williamson, executive producer of CBC's The Fifth Estate, with the Michener Award for meritorious public service in journalism June 14, 2011, in Ottawa. The program won for its work on the case of Ashley Smith, who killed herself in an Ontario corrections facility. (Fred Chartrand/Canadian Press) The CBC program The Fifth Estate has won the 2010 Michener Award, an annual honour recognizing meritorious public service journalism in Canada. Gov. Gen. David Johnston presented the award for the program's two documentaries on the case of Ashley Smith, a 19-year-old woman who had initially been sentenced to a month in juvenile detention when she was 14, but ended up serving more than four years, mostly in solitary confinement. Ashley Smith was 14 when she was sentenced to one month in juvenile detention. She ended up spending most of the next four years in the system, before killing herself in solitary confinement when she was 19. Canadian Press Smith, originally from Moncton, N.B., ended up strangling herself to death in her cell in an Ontario institution after many previous suicide attempts. Guards had been given orders not to enter the cell as long as she was still breathing. A coroner's inquest on the circumstances surrounding her death is currently underway. The Fifth Estate won the Michener for documentaries titled “Out of Control” and “Behind the Wall,” which probed the issue of how people with mental illness are treated in Canada's penal system.

(Catalyst Canada 2006). Purpose: Thesis Statement While there is continued debate about whether or not a glass ceiling1 exists, there is no doubt something is happening in organizations that is keeping women out of important positions of leadership and influence. In fact, since the feminist 1 The term glass ceiling was introduced in a 1986 Wall Street Journal article by Carol Hymowitz and Timothy Schellhardt. They wrote, “Even those women who rose steadily through the ranks eventually crashed into an invisible barrier. The executive suite seemed within their grasp, but they just couldn’t break through the glass ceiling.” Laura Liswood of the Council of Women World Leaders says, “There is no glass ceiling: only a very think layer of men.” 2 gains of the 1970s and 80s, the number of women in positions of top leadership is regressing.2 Even though there has been considerable research to try to reveal the dynamic of gender practices in the workplace, this type of study is difficult to conduct due to the challenge of seeing inside an institution.
