Canadian Journalists speak to students at Yukon College

Yukon College has invited a panel of national and regional journalists to speak with students from both Yukon College and the local high schools. This panel of producers, hosts, and sports writers will share their knowledge and expertise with the student body while creating an open dialogue with the students.

These nationally acclaimed journalists are visiting the Yukon for the Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada event that is taking place this week. Yukon College recognized this unique educational opportunity and began planning for it. “Part of our role at the college is to create unique educational opportunities for the community at large and this was an opportunity we couldn’t let our community and students miss”, says Vice President Education and Training, Karen Barnes. “We were happy to work with the local organizing committee for the Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada event”, says Barnes.

The panel is scheduled for Thursday, February 10th from 1 to 2pm for the high school students and on Friday, February 11th from 11 to 12pm for Yukon College students. The panel will be fielding questions from the students in the Pit.

The panel will be made up of sports journalist and author Scott Morrison; CBC radio producer, Bridget O’Toole; Senior Producer for CBC Sports.ca, Ken Wolff; hockey reporter, Tim Wharnsby; and CBC Yukon host, Sandi Coleman.

All are welcome to attend.
