She has been a strong, successful advocate for sex education in Canada over the last three decades. Best known for her nationally televised Sunday Night Sex Show and for her Toronto-based radio call-in show, she is a popular figure with adolescents and young adults. A registered nurse, she opened one of the city's first birth control clinics and has talked to thousands of students in high schools, colleges and universities across the country. Listening without judgement and candid in her responses, she helps Canadians to improve their understanding of sexuality and their ability to make wise health choices.
