And if you missed it, here's what happened last week:

Last week, BarrieToday reporter Nikki Cole talked about her daughter's experience with hockey superstar Hayley Wickenheiser. "The fact that this incredible woman took the time out of what I can only imagine is an insanely busy schedule to sit down and speak directly to my child left me speechless."

Reporter Jessica Owen brings us a column and recalled important conversations and life lessons from her dad.
