National television morning show set for Steinbach

CBC Morning Live is coming to Steinbach as part of a four-community tour marking the pending retirement of host Heather Hiscox.

CBC announced last week that the tour would kick off on Thursday at the Southeast Event Centre before travelling to Lloydminster, Alta, Hudson, Que., Owen Sound, Ont. and ending in a live broadcast in front of an audience at the CBC Broadcast Centre in Toronto.

Steinbach, Lloydminster and Hudson are home to three recently launched CBC News local service expansion bureaus.

“As one of the fastest growing regions in Manitoba, this stop will highlight how this growth is reshaping the community and how local businesses are navigating national trade and tariff uncertainty,” the news release said about Steinbach. “The public is invited to watch the live broadcast of CBC Morning Live, followed by a Power Brunch from 8 to 10 a.m. featuring a conversation between Hiscox and CBC News reporter Christopher Gareau.
