Dr Charles Helm - Voices of the Peace

April 10, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 56 MB

In this episode, Ted sits down with Dr. Charles Helm from Tumbler Ridge. Dr. Helm is quite literally a trailblazer. He came to the Peace country in the 1980s. He co-founded one of BC's most popular races. He's helped to create and clear some of the most popular hiking trails in Tumbler Ridge, and he's helped bring the world's attention to a simply wonderful pocket of BC through his work with the Tumbler Ridge Museum and the Tumbler Ridge Global Geo Park. He is also blazingly fast when you t...

The Spitzers - Voices of the Peace

March 13, 2023 07:00 - 48 minutes - 66.7 MB

Our next guests, plural, are people well, who’ve been part of the community for as long as I can remember. Quite selfishly, I remember wanting to be these two people. I remember taking my dogs to them, well, my parents, taking my dogs to them, and having these two people answer questions about my dog, take care of the dog, and ultimately, help me through the grief of losing my dog. These people are special: they travel all over the Peace to make sure that herds are healthy, that animals are ...

Ovvian Castrillo Hill - Voices of the Peace

January 16, 2023 20:32 - 53 minutes - 99.8 MB

Our next guest is quite special for numerous reasons. For one, she was the president of the North Peace Filcan Association for numerous years, helping to create and foster a sense of welcome, and safety for new and not-so-new Filipino Canadians who had moved to Fort St. John. For two, it was a lot of fun because she actually does what Ted does in this podcast- she finds amazing people, and she sits down with them. She has wonderful and illuminating conversations, so our host was excited to ...

Voices of the Peace - Larry Evans

June 10, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 64.9 MB

Host Ted Sloan joins us for the next episode of Voices of the Peace, funded by Urban Systems and NorthRiver Midstream. My next guest could write a book with everything they’ve seen and experienced. In fact, if they did write a book, I’d love to read it (and there is maybe a book coming!). You see, when things went wrong in this City, he, and his crew, were there to fix it. When someone was hurt, they rush out to help. When something was on fire, they’d be on their way. On top of all of that...

Lori Slater - Voices of the Peace

May 13, 2022 00:00 - 47 minutes - 87 MB

Host Ted Sloan joins us for the next episode of Voices of the Peace, funded by Urban Systems and NorthRiver Midstream. Our next guest is a community fixture for me, and someone who I’ve had the pleasure of bumping into at all kinds of events. I can say a lot about her. She’s a mother, and grandmother, who only seems to get more and more involved in local sports and local activities. She’s a tireless advocate for making sure that everyone has access in and around our city. She helps here in ...

Welcome to Voices of the Peace. This monthly podcast highlights the people of Fort St. John and the North Peace. Make sure to subscribe to the podcast by visiting www.energeticcity.ca/podcasts. I first met our next guests when I worked in the North Peace Cultural Centre, years, ago. The first thing that I noticed about them is that they’re the hardest workers I’ve ever met, and in a town of hard workers, that’s quite a title. From there, I’ve watched them dive right into our community. They...

This show was created as a way to find out more about our town, our community, and the people in it. I drive down the street, and I see the Pomeroy Sport Centre, the Cultural Centre, a lot of local businesses, and I think “How’d that happen? How’d that get built?’ You might play in a sports league, a community club, a park, and wonder “How’d this get here?”  Welcome to the October episode of Voices of the Peace. This is a new monthly podcast that highlights the people of Fort St. John and t...
