[edit] Life and career
Carrie (born 1967) is a native of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and grew up in Toronto. Her parents worked at CFTO-TV; her father, broadcaster Fergie Olver, worked on Toronto Blue Jays telecasts, and a game show called Just Like Mom, created by co-host Catherine Swing and producer Paul Burford, where Carrie often introduced the contestants.
Carrie's career began in 1990 on Canadian home shopping channels, before she moved to the American Home Shopping Network. From 1998, she hosted Spectacular Spas, a half-hour travel program where she would visit some of the world's top spas. She would often find herself in a bikini for some swimming, on a massage table for a world class treatment or eating meals prepared by a gourmet chef.
For Spectacular Spas, Carrie was nominated for a Gemini Award in 2003 for the program in the Best Host or Interviewer in a Lifestyle/General Interest Program or Series category, but lost to Debbie Travis.
She can now be seen on The Weather Network weekday mornings.
