History Of the Old Road Goes On

Information sessions on a  project to restore portions of the Cariboo Waggon road will be held next week in the south Cariboo.

The new Pathways to gold society will hold two sessions, one in 108 and one in Clinton.

“We have found some exciting information via archival sources that we wish to share with folks throughout the survey corridor,” said project manager Richard Wright. “We want to hear the stories from locals about the road and how it affected them or the development of their community. We’re particularly interested in local knowledge of where the road was built and the uses it was put to.”

The Cariboo Waggon Road was built in 1859, providing a route to the Cariboo goldfields. It was built largely on First Nations trade routes.

The information sessions take place on Tuesday, Oct. 22 at 5:00 p.m at the Clinton Memorial Hall, and on Wednesday, Oct. 23, at 7:00 pm at the 108 Mile Ranch Community Centre.

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!
