Gord Martineau

Gord Martineau (born September 23, 1948 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian television journalist.

Martineau is the senior co-anchor of Citytv's "CityNews" (formerly "CityPulse") newscast in Toronto. He has been with the station since its inception, except for a few weeks in 1980 when he moved to Global Television Network as a news co-anchor for CIII. The job did not work out, so Martineau returned to "CityPulse". He also briefly worked for CFTO-TV in Toronto around that time, and before coming to CITY, he was the weekend anchor of "Pulse" on CFCF-TV in Montreal.

Martineau has also appeared in a few movies as a news anchor, including "Undue Influence", "Dirty Work", and "Urban Legend".

In April 2007, Gord Martineau received a lifetime achievement award for 40 years in broadcasting. 30 of those years were at his current home, Citytv Toronto.

Noted for outstanding charity work, Gord Martineau has been associated with the Kidney Foundation, the Kid's Helpline, the Fred Victor Centre, the Breast Cancer Foundation, Mount Sinai Hospital, the Ireland Fund and most notably, the Herbie Fund where he has personally escorted children in need of life-saving surgery from countries as far away as the Philippines to superlative care at the Hospital for Sick Children.
