Good Morning Canada!

Pollyanna had an early start to the day when she received her award from the AFC – she was booked to arrive at the CTV news studios at 6.00am for a live interview on their popular breakfast show CTV Morning Live.

Host Aamer Haleem (above left) interviewed Artists for Conservation president Jeff Whiting (centre) and Pollyanna about the forthcoming arts festival, and congratulated Pollyanna on her prestigious award. Pollyanna also showed a selection of her working sketches, and recounted stories of some of her close encounters with wild animals – leading the presenter to warn the viewers not to try this for themselves!
