Deb Hope, former Global BC anchor and reporter, passes away
When Hope joined Global in 1981, the station wasn’t even called Global BC, it was still known as BCTV.
There, she began working for The Canadian Press wire service as a junior reporter, but longed to return to her home province. Her first job back in B.C. was with the now-defunct United Press Canada news agency, and after three years, she joined BCTV where she became a common face in living rooms around B.C.
Aside from her tireless work to bring news to people around the province, for more than 30 years, Hope was known for so much more. She has represented Global and worked with countless charities, including projects for the Courage To Come Back Awards, Make-A-Wish Foundation, United Way, Canuck Place, the Down Syndrome Research Foundation, St. Paul’s Hospital, the Variety Telethon, BC Children’s Hospital, and the AIDS Walk for Life. And that’s just to name a few.Submitted
