Episode 132 - Air Canada’s Paralympic Send Off Party

Christine and JJ are always up for new adventures and experiences, especially when there are interesting visuals to describe and gab about!  This week, Talk Description To Me embarks on a new season of on-location escapades, sponsored by Air Canada. To kick things off, the description duo are invited to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport for the national airline’s official send-off of Team Canada’s Paralympic Athletes.  With athletic celebrities in team uniforms parading through the bustling airport, reporters setting up media scrums, and waiting passengers snapping selfies, Christine and JJ join the party, and do some serious invite-only people watching!  Big thanks to Madeline Long-Duke, Director of Commercial Communications at Air Canada, and Jessica Spremo, Vice President of Client Experience at Weber Shandwick, for the invitation and support!
