In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.
This new feature — ‘Closer Look’ — is a chance to hear directly from those reporters and editors.
Every weeknight, Village Media’s Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our journalists to explore a compelling story they are covering.
These conversations go beyond the headlines, helping viewers better understand how we gather the details that land in your local news feed.
On tonight's episode: A museum mystery.
SEE: Quilt honouring residential school survivors stolen from Timmins museum
A handmade quilt created to honour residential school survivors was stolen earlier this month from a Timmins museum — then anonymously returned a week later.
Someone left the stolen quilt in a library drop box, to the relief of Vanessa Génier, founder and CEO of Quilts for Survivors.
“That's all we wanted," she said. "We don't care who took it. We don't care why they took it. There's no excuse for taking it, but we're just glad it's back."
