Tree Planting Continues, Despite COVID-19

Tree planters in BC will be planting nearly 300 million seedlings this summer, but COVID 19 has changed the way the crews will be spending downtime in local communities.

100 Mile Mayor Mitch Campsall says rules from health bc and forestry in the wake of COVID 19 will require planter camps to have 2 designated people who will be the only ones to enter communities for supplies. All others must stay in camp.

Campsall says some planters are staying in local hotels, but there is security in place so they stay out of communities. Campsall says the penalty for breaking the camp quarantines is a planter losing their job and being sent back home.

The tree planters, many of whom are university students, were required to quarantine for 15 days before coming to work.

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
