Work BC can help Displaced Workers

Chris Adams
By Chris Adams

With the news of forest industry curtailments and shutdowns, affecting not only company employees, but forest workers in all occupations, it may be time to look at opportunities in other areas.

Work BC is a government service geared to assist workers and those looking for employment.

Michelle Brown is with Work BC in 100 Mile House. She says they offer several different programs to assist employers and employees, including customized employment and a subsidy program for current employers to assist with wages. They also offer skills training and job search options.

For the full range of services visit Work BC online here, or their offices in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House.

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!

Tune-in with Chris weekday mornings from 6am to 10am
