Timeline
Lowell Green (born 7 July 1936) is a Canadian radio personality, journalist, and author, best known as the host of The Lowell Green Show, a conservative morning talk show that aired on the Ottawa Ontario radio station CFRA.
He has written newspaper articles and autobiographical, historical and fictional books.
He was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States, to Canadian parents, and immigrated to Canada.
He graduated from Macdonald Agricultural College of McGill University in Montreal Quebec in 1956.
Green started his radio broadcasting career in Brantford, Ontario, and subsequently moved to radio stations in Sudbury Ontario and Montreal Quebec.
Lowell Green has received several awards, including one for his 1958 coverage of the Springhill mining disaster in Nova Scotia, and one from the International Olympic Commission for broadcasts made from the 1976 Summer Olympic Games while working in Montreal.
In 1960, he was hired by G. Campbell McDonald at CFRA as a news and farm reporter.
In a late 1960s protest, Green urged his listeners to fill bottles of water taken from the polluted Rideau River, and to ship them to the Ontario legislature at Queen's Park.
His listeners shipped many bottles and containers of polluted water.
Canada Post objected, and stopped accepting them.
According to Green, the uproar led to the creation of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and the start of a clean-up effort of the Rideau River and the Ottawa River.
In 1966, he began hosting Greenline, and eventually became the longest-running open-line talk show host in North America.
With his 1967 Save The Centennial Flame Campaign, a month of relentless broadcasts, and over three-thousand petitions from listeners, the iconic Centennial Flame remains and continues to shine on Parliament Hill.
In 1968, Green attempted to win the Liberal nomination for the federal riding of Pontiac during the 1968 federal election, but lost this bid to Thomas Lefebvre.
In 1975, after the school shooting that occurred at the St. Pius X High School in Ottawa, Green and thousands of his supporters joined his Fire Arms Safety Association.
It lobbied and petitioned Members of Parliament, while he appeared before parliamentary and senate committees tasked with the process of making policy and enacting new gun law legislation in Canada.
He retired briefly from radio in the 1980s, but returned in 1990.
Two of his historic broadcasts are being preserved at Library and Archives Canada.
On 13 December 1984, Green ran for the Ontario Liberal Party in a provincial by-election in Ottawa Centre.
Green blamed this loss on his "sharp" personality and a low voter turnout.
He was a founder of the Sunday Herald in Ottawa which was in 1988 purchased by the Ottawa Sun.
Green has served on the boards of the United Way, the John Howard Society, the Drug Addiction Research Council, and on the town council in West Hull Quebec.
In order to encourage Quebecers to vote "No" in the 1995 Quebec Independence referendum, he promoted and helped organize a political Unity Rally which was held in Place du Canada in Montreal Quebec.
With the Reverend Norman Johnston, he founded the Ottawa chapter of the Big Brothers and was founder of the Help Santa Toy Parade in Ottawa.
He has contributed to ongoing efforts to help modernize and renovate the Saint Vincent Hospital and the Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital in Ottawa.
In 2006, he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Radio and Television News Director Association.
He has also been awarded the Golden Ribbon Award For Outstanding Community Service by the Canadian Association of Broadcasters.
He has received citations from Prime Minister John Diefendbaker, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
He has received the Friendship Award from the Royal Canadian Legion, the Chief of Defence staff medallion, and the Senate 150th Anniversary Medal.
He has been decorated with both the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal, and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
After raising CA$280 thousand during an on-air campaign for a little boy requiring life-saving medical treatment in the United States, he was presented with the Helen Keller Fellowship Award from Lions International.
In 1993, he returned to CFRA and hosted The Lowell Green Show until his official retirement on 4 January 2016.
On 21 November 2017, he was honoured in the House of Commons of Canada by the Honourable Pierre Poilievre.
Lowell Green has also received the Community Builders Award displayed at Ottawa City Hall, and has an Ottawa hospital wing and an Ottawa day named in his honour.
He continued contributing to the station's weekly midday program News and Views with Rob Snow until a Bell Media restructuring in mid-November 2019.
On occasion, he can be heard calling into The Rob Snow Show, now airing on CIWW.
On 31 December 2019, in an emotional farewell, Green ended his radio career on CFRA with the following final words:"“I believe, that we all have a responsibility, more than that, we have a duty, to do whatever we can, in whatever fashion we can, to make a better world for our children. And CFRA Nation, you have done your duty, and I hope and pray that you'll continue to do so. Thank you all, goodbye.”"On 14 September 2020, Green returned online with The Island of Sanity, a one-hour podcast available on various internet platforms, which was pared down to thirty minutes on 13 October 2020 and featured live on internet radio and the social networking platform Facebook.
