Members of the Canadian Media Guild
were horrified to learn that two Ottawa-based colleagues
were injured Wednesday by a bomb blast in Afghanistan.
The two, videographer Charles Dubois and reporter Patrice
Roy, were covering the deployment of the Royal 22nd
Regiment (Van Doos) in Afghanistan for Radio-Canada
television.
“Our thoughts are with Charles and Patrice and
their families,” says Marc-Philippe Laurin, president
of the CBC Branch of the Guild. “They can count
on the love and support of their colleagues as they
recover from this very unfortunate incident.”
