Andy Barrie recently signed off as host of CBC Radio's "Metro Morning", one of the Greater Toronto Area's most listened-to and respected radio programs. Over his years on air, Barrie became a shaping force for how Torontonians see their city, their country, and their world: we came to rely on his sharp, intelligent and fair interviews on a wide range of timely topics. Barrie launched his broadcasting career at Montreal's CJAD Radio and in 1977 came to Toronto to work for CFRB, with stints at CJCL Radio and Global TV. In 1995, he began as host of "Metro Morning", a position he held until March of this year. During his time as host of "Metro Morning", Barrie interviewed many of York's faculty members on academic, political and social issues. The depth and respect with which he treated each subject is often remarked upon: his interviewees praised his ability to present all sides of an issue, adding crucial context for listeners with his own informed and articulate commentary. In addition to his achievements as a broadcaster, Barrie is also a former director of the Toronto Arts Foundation, and member of the Canadian Association of Journalists, the Canadian Journalism Foundation and the Advancement Board of the Clarke Institute Foundation.
