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. 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: Mourning a young Ontario hockey star.
Nolan Ion, 15, was a member of the Upper York Admirals U16 AA team. He was a talented player but also a great teammate who "just cared about everybody."
Tragically, Nolan suffered cardiac arrest while in gym class and later died in hospital. His family and coach are now sharing his story, hoping to prevent the same thing from happening to other young athletes.
