The iconic Monika Deol will be delivering this year’s Keynote Address. Monika is a media personality, active community volunteer and mother. She began her career in the entertainment industry when she was in University and was the first South Asian female DJ in Canada. Later, she became Canada’s first South Asian VJ when she joined MuchMusic and Chum/City. Monika relocated to Vancouver in 1997 where she anchored on CTV and assisted OMNI in obtaining its CRTC license for what was then channel M. When Citytv launched in Vancouver, Monika also took the anchor on their late evening news. Come to this amazing event and hear her share her amazing journey and also chat about her community contributions.
