Lynn Colliar is the esteemed anchor of the Saturday Morning News, Sunday Morning News, and Weekend Noon News Hour on Global BC, in addition to reporting for the News Hour and BC1.
Born in Scotland, Lynn spent her formative years in British Columbia, where she developed a deep connection with the region. Her academic pursuits led her to earn a degree in biology from Simon Fraser University.
Prior to her career in journalism, Lynn worked as an assistant at veterinary clinics for seven years, a period that spanned her high school and university years. This experience likely contributed to her enduring passion for animals.
Lynn's professional journey in journalism began with a stint in the journalism program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology.
For eight years, Lynn reported on the crime beat, earning recognition for her production of "A Shred of Evidence", a half-hour special that received the Excellence in News Reporting award from the British Columbia Association of Broadcasters. Her work meticulously detailed how intricate scientific details pieced together evidence, ultimately leading to convictions in major B.C. homicides.
In addition to her crime reporting, Lynn co-produced, wrote, and reported on an hour-long community forum entitled "kNOw more", aimed at heightening awareness of the issue of home invasions against the elderly.
After anchoring Global BC's Morning News for 10 years, Lynn dedicated a year to producing and reporting a special investigative series, which included a comprehensive look at infertility and transgender stories, told from the perspectives of individuals with first-hand experience.
