The best advice I ever heard or read: "Fight because you love what is behind you, not because you hate what is in front of you" G.K. Chesterton
The worst advice.... "This umbrella will make a cool parachute". Big brothers suck!

If you could have a world problem fixed....No more war, in a war, everybody loses.
Board Games? Chess...
Reality TV? Not a chance... Reality is what happens away from the TV
I love living in British Columbia because.....The great outdoors! Fishing, hunting, hiking, lakes, rivers, etc.
I love working at CFNR because....It's not corporate. We are a non-profit society and the listener is our bottom line, not dollars and cents. We are a growing organization with limitless potential. Our staff is a great crew to work with and more like family than co-workers. We all share a common vision and work hard at achieving it together. Most importantly though is we truly have the best listeners. Whether they are listening for the music, sports or cultural programs, they appreciate what we do and have become our friends, and in some ways, part of our family.
