The Flavour of the Gospel and the Light of Christ for Canada and the World: Salt and Light Television at 15!


July 1, 2018 marks the 15th anniversary of the first broadcast of Salt and Light Television Network. Born on the wings of the 2002 World Youth Day in Canada and launched in July 2003, Salt and Light is the first national Catholic television channel in Canada.
