Mary Wiens is an award-winning journalist and producer who can be heard weekdays on Toronto’s most listened-to morning show, CBC’s Metro Morning.

Mary’s stories bring the sound of the city and the voices of its people into the Metro Morning studio. From emotionally charged stories about refugees from Uganda to her groundbreaking series about a Black inmate trying to win his release from the federal prison system after 23 years on the inside, to lighter stories about daily life – like dog-walkers socializing rescue dogs at the city’s dog parks, or office workers on the pros and cons of returning to the downtown core after the pandemic – her stories reflect Toronto at its best and sometimes its worst.

Her feature stories have won numerous regional and national awards from RTDNA Canada – the Association of Electronic Journalists, as well as an international Gabriel award for Metro Morning’s series, “Stolen Children”, about Canada’s infamous residential school system.
