Happy 75th!

An open house at CBC Prince George was part of CBC's 75th anniversary celebrations on the weekend. Daybreak co-hosts Carolina DeRyk and Robert Doan gave listeners a close-up look at the studios.

The best minds

 

Listener Barry Curtis sent this shot along from Wells, "I had Homer, My wife got me the rest in Vancouver."

Cockpit with a view

This is the view just a few minutes after take-off from Comox Harbour. Tree Island in the foreground, Denman Island in the distance. It was a thrill to be aboard an early 50's De Havilland Beaver built before I was born (operated today by Harbour Air.)

Fixer upper

One of the first settler cabins built in the Clearwater Valley. It's had many uses since then.

New memorial to Terry Fox

A new memorial to Terry Fox was unveiled by family, friends and the premier today at B.C. Place Stadium. Designed by Douglas Coupland, the four statues represent his focus and determination, and the last features his "Thank You" wave.

Grape expectations

The 31st Annual Fall Okanagan Wine Festival is set to launch on September 29th - and these grapes are just about ready.  (St Hubertus Estate Winery in Kelowna)

Peachy

One of the treats on my road trip to the Okanagan last week. Peaches the size of softballs at Graziano Orchards in Kelowna.

Our CBC Neighbourhood

These lovely Victorian homes are just just down the street from CBC on Hamilton Street. Built in 1893, they're in the Queen Anne style -- and in marked contrast to nearby concrete and glass towers.

September Song

Well, it's a long, long time
From May to December.
But the days grow short,
