Time Commitment
Due to grant timelines and limited recording time at the TV station, this project will move quickly.
Youth selected for the project must be available for:
- training and prep sessions on the afternoons of Sunday June 21 and Sunday June 28, 2026 (time to be determined) at the WEFN office at 7025 Enterprise Way, Windsor
- at least 2 Thursday evenings in June – at the Cogeco Station on 2525 Dougall Ave
- filming dates during weekdays in the summer at the Cogeco station.
- Final filming dates and schedules will be worked out with the group and the station.
Support & Accessibility
- Windsor-Essex Family Network (WEFN) is not a service provider and is not able to be in the role of direct support staff for personal care however, we are families helping families so if you or your family would like to discuss accommodations, accessibility needs, or what participation could look like, please reach out to us.
- Our goal is to work together to help youth participate in meaningful and successful ways whenever possible
