Ian Hanomansing is known as a Canadian television journalist. He is most famous for hosting The National on CBC Television.
Ian Hanomansing was born in 1961 in Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago. However, he was brought up in Sackville in New Brunswick, Canada. Having grown up in Canada, Ian speaks Canadian and has a diversely mixed ethnicity of Indo-Caribbean ancestry. Growing up listening to WCBS and WINS live from New York and WHDH in Boston as a boy, he dreamed of being a radio personality. During his college days, Ian worked as a D.J. and a radio host. By his friends, he is fondly known as the "handsome man thing" as a pun off of his last name and has a huge female following for his handsome looks. Ian never let being an immigrant stop him. Ian recalls as a boy back in Sackville, New Brunswick, with a population of only 2,600, being one of the few visible minorities. In 1983, Hanomaning completed his undergraduate degree at Mount Allison University in Sackville with a B.A. in Political Science and Sociology. He then pursued a law degree at the Dalhousie Law School, where he graduated in 1986. Ian was dynamic and a very active participant in debate and speech competitions. Hanomaning was among the victorious debaters and speakers at the Canadian National Debating Championship. In 2003 Hanomansingh received an honorary degree, Doctor of Laws Honoris Causa (LLD), from Mount Allison University.
Ian Hanomansing married his college girlfriend, Nancy Trott, in 1991. Ian and Nancy met at Dalhousie Law School as classmates. Soon after his marriage in 1991, Ian moved to Vancouver's Mount Pleasant, where they lived together. His house was one of many in a refurbished heritage neighborhood. When the couple was raising two teenage sons, they decided to stay in Vancouver to continue going to the same school instead of taking up offers from news agencies in the United States, which would have forced them to move.
His wife, Nancy, is a lawyer and professional source for McCarthy Tetrault in Vancouver and Calgary. She is responsible for the professional development of the associates and the students of British Columbia and Alberta firms.
