Noreen Isabel Young, Member of the order of Canada (CM 1995) is a renowned Canadian producer and puppeteer still actively involved in puppeteering and puppet building. Young grew up in Old Ottawa South, Ontario with her two younger brothers John and Stephen Brathwaite. She studied Drawing and Painting at the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto.

Young began her lifelong career in television puppetry at CJOH/CTV and CBOT/CBC in Ottawa, notably with "Hi Diddle Day" (1967 - 76) and "Pencil Box" (1977 - 1979). The former received an Ohio State Award and the latter received ACTRA's Best Children's Programme in 1978. She became an Independent Television Producer with Noreen Young Productions Inc., which, with CBC and Telefilm Canada, produced "Under the Umbrella Tree", a popular CBC Television children's series that ran from 1986 to 1993 on the CBC nationally and from 1990 to 1997 on the Disney Channel. It was also versioned into French for Canal Famille and currently streams on the Canada Media Fund's Encore+ on YouTube in both languages. For that show, she was Executive Producer and performed the character "Gloria the Gopher".

Young was also the puppeteer for "Dodie", a character on Sesame Park, the Canadian version of Sesame Street.[2] Her puppet characters appeared on many TVOntario productions including Readalong and Telefrancais and she was featured in the second Care Bears television special, 1984's The Care Bears Battle the Freeze Machine.

Young is known for her caricature puppets of public figures such as former Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson, CBC news anchor Peter Mansbridge and hockey commentator Don Cherry, plus many prominent personalities from her hometown of Almonte, Ontario.

In 2018, Young's puppets were featured in an exhibit "Noreen Young, a Puppet Retrospective", at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, in Almonte. The 150 puppets from her collection that were exhibited spanned her career from 1967 to 2018. They included Basil the Beagle from "Hi Diddle Day" (1967 - 76) and10 puppets which she created for an adult opera, "Sleeping Rough", written by composer Roddy Ellias and performed for the Ottawa music festival, "Music and Beyond" (2018). Many of her puppets now reside in the National Museum of History and the Library Archives of Canada.
