Local BC Foods Sourced for Interior Health Pilot Project

A new initiative by the Ministry of Agriculture Has been announced to bring more BC sourced food into BC Health Region Facilities.

The feed BC program is being piloted in the Interior Health Region. The BC government is providing over $350,000 in funding over the next year to implement the profgram in the region.

Minister of Agriculture Lana Popham announced the initiative while touring the Pentiction Regional Hospitals production kitchen on Friday.

Healthy, great-tasting meals can help people during recovery,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “Fortunately, we don’t have to look far in B.C. for delicious and nutritious food. Increasing access to B.C.-grown and produced foods in health-care facilities not only improves the freshness and quality of the meals served, it better supports the patients’ experience, outcomes and the livelihood of B.C.’s farmers and producers.”

Interior Health is working closely with BC suppliers and Sysco food distributors to ensure  good quality and locally sourced food whenever possible.

The BX Morning Show


I first got into radio when I was a kid when a friend and I made our own radio shows on cassete tapes. Growing up in 100 Mile House, I did a workstudy at this very station.

Thanks to some good advice from my radio mentor Larry Rode, I got a certificate in broadcast arts in 1991. After failing to break into radio after school, I did other jobs but kept my hand in, working as morning host and program director at my universitys station, WUFK in Fort Kent, Maine.

Coming back to 100 Mile, when the afternoon and news job opened up, I took the dive back into radio! When Larry retired after nearly 35 years in 100 Mile, I took over the morning show. I’m happy to be at CKBX, where I always wanted to work, and waking up my hometown!
