- Anna Harbulik – Sudbury Coalition Against Poverty (S-CAP)
- Paul Scheer – Cecil Facer Youth Centre
- Josh Wong – volunteer, collects and donates clothing for homeless people

About the Sudbury Working Group

The Sudbury working-group of The Media Co-op was formed to create independent media in the North, to speak to our issues and outlooks on our communities as well as the world around us. Independent media provides an avenue for people who are wishing to gain critical perspective on the issues that matter most to us, and to give a voice to those people and stories that you won't find in the mainstream media.
