We are a small crew of dedicated students from Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School's broadcasting classes. We have presented daily live TV news broadcasts of our school announcements to students and staff for many years now, and we have even broadcast news during winter “snow days.” That changed, for a while, with the appearance of COVID-19 and the start of Physical Distancing. We are no longer broadcasting live at our school, but through our efforts we have been broadcasting our COVID-19 Edition twice a week online on YouTube, as well as on this website since April 1.
