Adrienne Pan

Adrienne Pan was the host of CBC Edmonton's afternoon drive show, Radio Active.

Adrienne moved to radio after six years anchoring CBC Edmonton TV News at 6 in her hometown, and 15 years in television news. Previously, she worked in Winnipeg from 2003 until 2011. During this time she worked as a TV and radio reporter at CBC Manitoba, and launched the late night newscast as Host/Producer. She also did reporting and hosting for Global Winnipeg. Before that, she worked for Global in Lethbridge and for A-Channel in Edmonton.

One of Adrienne's proudest moments was winning the national Radio Television News Directors Award in the Best Long Feature category for her documentary "Saving Grace: The Harry Lehotsky Story". Lehotsky, a fierce advocate for Winnipeg's disadvantaged, devoted his life to helping others and improving his challenged neighbourhood. The 49-year old was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer in May 2006, and died that Remembrance Day. During that six-month period, Lehotsky and his family gave Adrienne unlimited access to their lives. His courage and incredible accomplishments inspired everyone who met him.

Adrienne Pan considered herself a huge foodie, and spent much of her free-time checking out the ever increasing number of places to eat and drink in Edmonton.

She also loved travelling whenever she got the chance, recently exploring Iceland and Panama. She lived in Montreal while attending McGill University and the city remained a favourite destination of hers.

Adrienne lived in south Edmonton with her husband Ben and their dog Otis.

Adrienne passed away in January 2022. A tribute was posted shortly after her death, which can be found here.
