From a story in the Sudbury Star by Jonathan Migneault:

A Sudbury soup kitchen will soon gain national recognition on the popular TV show Undercover Boss Canada.

Last March, a film crew spent a day at the Blue Door Soup Kitchen under the guise of a documentary about food banks and soup kitchens across the country. The documentary was ruse to get Katharine Schmidt, the executive director of Food Banks Canada, undercover as a new trainee at three food banks and one soup kitchen across Canada.

Bob Johnston, who handles public relations with the downtown Blue Door Soup Kitchen, was shadowed by a woman who had introduced herself as Shelley, during an ordinary day at the soup kitchen. “I was supposed to train her as though she was going to take my job on Monday morning,” Johnston said.

Why are we telling you about this? Because Bob is the husband of one of our staff at the Sudbury branch, MSR Denise Johnston.
