Sonia Sunger is the Co-Anchor of Global News Morning.
Born and raised in Victoria, B.C., Sonia is a proud second-generation Canadian and speaks Punjabi.
Sonia studied journalism at Concordia University in Montreal before graduating with honours from the Radio and Television Arts program at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. With two decades of experience as a broadcast journalist, she is passionate about delivering breaking news and believes in journalism’s overall power and ability to create positive change in the world.
A self-described humanitarian, Sonia gives her time to numerous charitable causes including Canuck Place, Kidsplay Foundation, Surrey Hospital Foundation and Women’s Brain Health Initiative. In 2017, she spearheaded the successful charity event Haircuts for a Cause, joined by dozens of viewers who cut and donated their hair live on television. Over the course of the event’s four-year history, hundreds of ponytails have been donated to both the Canadian Cancer Society and Wigs for Kids BC.
