?Esdilagh First Nation Receives BC Rural Dividend Grant

April 13, 2019

The ?Esdilagh First Nation will be receiving nearly $215,000 dollars under the special circumstance provision of the BC Rural dividend.

The money will be used by the band for a strategy to create and maintain a 30-kilometer nature trail network, as well as a 10-kilometer nature trail in the community as well as signage. Some will be used for recreational programs and youth skill development events.

“We are looking forward to the trail project this year. Providing opportunities close to home, recreational or economic, greatly contributes to the quality of life in the community,” says Chief Victor Roy Stump.

“We need this focus after the 2017 wildfires and the residual ongoing impacts they have had on our people.”

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!
