Canadian Footy on Channel 9

Channel 9's "Today" show is doing a week-long series of shows on Canadian cities. The Australian morning show has been televising live from a different city in Canada each day.

Yesterday's show was televised live from Dundas Square in Toronto. The show featured a story on Australian football here in Canada. Channel 9's reporter, Nick McCallum, hooked up with the Broadview Hawks for a training session and even played in a game against the Toronto Downtown Dingos. The piece was done really well and it was great exposure, in Australia at least, for our competitions.
