Tracy Moore
TRACY MOORE, CityLine
Born in Toronto to Jamaican-Canadian parents, Marjorie and Leonard, Tracy Moore and her sister were raised in quintessential suburbia.Tracy had the sort of childhood you would expect of a suburban girl in Richmond Hill.
Early aspirations of performance had Tracy twirling baton at the young age of four before tackling cheerleading in high school and being crowned Richmond Hill's Carnival Queen in the ninth grade. In 1994, Tracy moved to Montreal to attend McGill University where she earned an honours degree in Political Science followed by a Journalism Degree and finally her Masters Degree at the University of Western Ontario in 2000.
After three year stints at CBC taking on a variety of roles from editorial assistant to videographer, and reporter/anchor at Toronto 1, Tracy landed at Citytv where she has been a live- reporter and fill-in anchor for BreakfastTelevision and CityNews since 2005.
While she is set to take the reigns as host of CityLine,Canada's number one daytime show for women, Tracy's most challenging project to date comes from outside the media biz. It's raising her six month old baby Sidney Nicolas Perron, born April 24th, 2008. Tracy describes him as a charming, drooling, smiling, bundle of positive energy. After a six month maternity leave Tracy has returned to work and husband Lionel Perron is holding down the fort at home. Tracy says, "Motherhood has been the toughest most rewarding job I've ever had."
Tracy's biggest accomplishments now include getting out the door without spit-up on her shirt, logging more than six hours of sleep in a row and making sure the dust-bunnies in the corners of her staircase don't grow bigger than the size of a tennis ball.
