As host of the first season, Jessi brought some of her critically-acclaimed humour and eclectic flair to the show that’s all about multiple intelligences. The one-hour unscripted  series takes audiences on a fun and inspiring journey to explore a new definition of smart. Canada’s Smartest Person is based on six shades of intelligence embraced as the new markers of brainpower: Math & Logic Intelligence, Visual & Spatial Intelligence, Body & Kinesthetic Intelligence, Linguistics Intelligence, Musical Intelligence and Interpersonal Intelligence. This week Jessi has a double-dose of hosting duties. First up she will be hosting the Meeting Professionals International (MPI) Toronto Chapter’s Awards Gala ceremony on Thursday, March 12. MPI has grown from 159 members in 1972 to approximately 20,000 members belonging to 71 chapters and clubs worldwide. The Gala marks the Toronto Chapter’s 25th anniversary.
