She is a graduate of Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University) and began her career at CHRO in Pembroke, Ontario, the city where she grew up. She also worked in Sudbury, Edmonton and Calgary. In 1989, she began co-anchoring the CJOH Ottawa evening news, then known as Newsline, alongside Max Keeping. She was laid off on November 17, 2015, by station owner Bell Media. Following her departure from CJOH she joined 1310 News as a talk-show host. She left 1310 News in November 2017.[4]
In January 2012, her missing husband was found dead in Brudenell, Ontario.[2]
In October 2018, shortly after her election, Meehan received media attention for an online confrontation with a constituent. The constituent was raising concerns about OC Transpo bus service in the ward. Meehan responded to the constituent "I would love to have a face to face, because you certainly like to slam me here. Let's see what kind of guts you have. I have the guts and courage to succeed YOU will never have." Meehan also divulged the constituent's street on Facebook, reportedly responding "Give me your address, or I will go and find you on [street name], it's not that long a street."[8][5] Meehan subsequently apologized and removed the Facebook posts.[9]
While on council, Meehan often votes against mayor Jim Watson's bloc, which has been called the "Watson club".[10]
On February 16, 2022, Meehan resigned from her position on the Ottawa Police Services Board.[11] She announced that she would not seek re-election in the 2022 municipal election on July 25, 2022.[12]
