In addition to airing weekly features VTV will also be able to Livestream major events taking place on campus so that students can watch in real-time on their computers and smart-phones.

Other content that will be broadcast on VTV include community events, departmental profiles, pedagogical materials, award ceremonies, news stories and creative films.

"I have always said that communications is one of my top priorities so I fully endorse the launching of VTV. I feel it will prove to be an important communications tool by keeping the Vanier community informed of the extensive activities, events and services within the college while also providing a voice for Vanier students, faculty and staff," said Mr. Normand W. Bernier, Director General of Vanier College.
