Voices of the Peace

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 taken care of, and that the community can thrive. They educate, they heal, they support; and, they’re just all-around good people to know. Welcome to my next guests, Dr. Corinne and Dr. Perry Spitzer!This podcast is made possible thanks to Urban Systems and Bluewave Energy

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 get the chance to ask her some things!She’s an artist, she’s a storyteller, she’s a mother, she’s Filipino, she’s Canadian, and she’s incredible.

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, they’ve helped inspire actors, town councils, and more.And recent times have really highlighted how important our frontline and emergency responders are to the safety and health of our community. I asked him to be on the show today because I wanted to know more about the history of our emergency services so that we can celebrate those who’ve helped to make our city what it is. From the Fort St. John firefighting services, please welcome Larry Evans.This podcast has been made possible with the generous support of Urban Systems and North RiverMidstream.See here for more information: https://energeticcity.ca/podcasts/
