Breakfast Anchor: Quiet Soldier Defending Animal Rights

CP24 Lead Anchor Ann Rohmer shares her love for delivering good news in Toronto and her passion for helping animals.

“The best thing you can do is help without being noticed,” says Ann Rohmer as she unwraps her sandwich in the cafeteria just outside the CP24 studio.

It’s only 10 am, but for Ann it’s already lunchtime. Up since four in the morning, toiling at delivering Torontonians their morning news, Ann plans to come back to the studio at noon to help out with a special coverage of the recent disaster in Haiti.

It’s not unusual for Ann to help out in the studio after her work hours are over, but she protests, “I like to be a silent soldier. I do things in a very quiet and simple way; I don’t want to be given awards for anything I do.”

Despite her objection, it’s hard not to notice the dedication and passion that Ann brings to everything she does both on and off the air.
