Now, he's the sub-editor of the Oakville Beaver and awardwinning journalist, covering the town's robust arts scene, as well as dipping into the health, news and features beats. Staying connected through all things social media, John feels privileged to share the important community-based stories that, at times, can be overlooked. His favourite pieces include a feature on Courage Canada, an organization that teaches blind and visually-impaired children how to skate; the successful double-lung transplant and recovery of an Oakville man; and his series on the crucial work the Oakville and Milton Humane Society does for the animals in the community.
