It looks like we woke up to a surprise on Saturday morning.
Last Tuesday, our group put on a presentation for Mr. Clint Thomas, a reporter for the Canadian Press. Afterwards, we had a short Q&A session up on the roof. He wrote up an amazing article, and put together a great video!
I was at work on Saturday morning when my boss came up to me. He says to me, "I just heard about your project on 680 News in the car on my way here." I thought to myself, "Wow! I can't believe it! This is huge!"
I did a little research after work, and it turns out that our story has been published all across Canada. A quick Google search showed me that this article has been published in newspapers from Lethbridge, Alberta to St. John's, Newfoundland, and a whole bunch of places in between. In addition to local papers, I also found our story up on the Macleans website, the CBC's website, Yahoo.ca, Canoe, and the Sympatico page.
Even now, I just saw a headline on Toronto's CP24 channel about us. Last night, I saw our headline on CTV Newsnet.
To be honest, I feel it's a little mind-blowing. We're just four students from Toronto. We're not doing this project for any sort of fame. We're doing it because we want to do something big and exciting.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who has emailed me little supportive messages. I'd like you to know that as a group, we really appreciate all the support and well-wishing. Thank you all so much!
