Rose Arsenault was born and raised in Fredericton, New Brunswick. She enjoyed a 20-year career as a television personality and as a Communications Officer with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. A popular and often repeated television segment featured Rose as an on-air tour guide of sorts, showcasing some of New Brunswick’s “must-see” tourist attractions.

That influenced a career change into tourism. In 2001, she was hired by the Government of New Brunswick to work in the Department of Tourism where she held a myriad of positions until 2023 when she accepted the role as Regional Tourism Coordinator for Fredericton Capital Region Tourism.

In her spare time, when she is not volunteering as an emcee, you will more than likely find her on a tennis court.

She and her husband, Alan Howie, share a passion for travel including stay-cations.
