Across North America during the week of October 6-12 is National Newspaper Week. National Newspaper Week is an annual opportunity to recognize the critical role that newspapers play in an active and healthy democracy. It is celebrated in North America on the first Sunday in October. Local newspapers deliver vital information to Canadians, connecting local communities across the country and keeping citizens informed, engaged, and connected. 

We will be having a guest columnist Pepper Parr, Publisher of the Burlington Gazette during this week in the COPA Judges Blog.  Learn more about National Newspaper Week at www.nationalnewspaperweek.ca or www.ChampionsoftheTruth.ca.
