Things will be getting a lot smoother in 100 Mile House this fall.

Mayor Mitch Campsall announced today that the section of Highway 97 through 100 Mile, which has been deteriorating for some time, will be repaved in the fall. The paving, which wasn’t supposed to happen for another 2 years, comes thanks to efforts from the combined efforts of the district, Ministry of Transportation and Highways, Local Manager Michelle Schilling, and road contractor Dawson Road Maintenance.

“I’m just happy that the ministry and ministers made that decision. After a lot of talking and hard work from all of us. They were able to find the funds, and we’re getting it.” Campsall says.

The project will soon go to tender, and work will begin on the highway this fall.

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!
