Granger is on the last part of his Canada World Youth Canada program part in Fredericton (been there 3 months) and then he goes to Ghana Africa on Dec.9 (for another 3 months) .He was on the CBC news in New Brunswick tonight and we watched him on the internet (I will give the link below; but maybe only on tonight). When you play it back, do you know how to save it…I can’t seem to save (I was going to send the video to our family). If you can save it, people on your Deaf may be interested in seeing it but the captioning does not work on my computer (lots of signing in the back ground and has Carl Brown who is Grangers home stay parent signing and Granger signing). The link is http://www.cbc.ca/newsatsixnb/crew.html then click on ‘0n demand” under media and ‘latest newscast’ move time curser to 15:33 to the start of the segment (the newscast probably only works tonight).
Submitted by: Gord Campbell (Granger’s father) last Thursday.

Editor: Unsuccessfully, I could not save streaming segment that night. I watched it and I am so proud of Granger (he is from Hornby Island).
