I’m Bill Hudon, from Orangeville. My partner Wendy and I have been members of WVIA for close to thirty years. Surely one of the most exciting developments over that time is the formation of WVIA News.
They are a diverse and committed group of journalists telling stories connecting the regional community to the world. They build partnerships where they serve, and they deliver the stories that we need. All of this is perfectly encapsulated in their motto: “We report to you.”

Please support WVIA’s News Match Campaign.
