365 - February 2014

I can't believe that I've been a full time member of the Whig-Standard newsroom for over a month :D.  I've had the chance to cover a variety of local stories and events, including Frontenacs home games, Sir John A Macdonald Bday, visiting Blue Jays, Westbrook Church, Sydney Street Petition and much more.  I'm really looking forward to getting the hang of this job.
