Fort St. James

Yeah.

And it represents artists from Prince George and other communities across the central interior, including Quinnell, McKenzie, Williams Lake, Fraser Lake and Fort St. James.

And I asked you to come today.

Because we're going to talk about an exhibition that's happening at Studio 2880.

a body might not be found ever or maybe never for years.

Fort St. James, a small village just off the Highway of Tears, is home to Cody Ledjabokov.

He's born in 1990 and grows up close to this infamous stretch of road.

By all appearances, Cody came from a great family.

And yet, in some respects, it was compartmentalized because he was very well liked and got along and had plenty of friends.

I think the hardest part of all is anyone that knew him never suspected for a minute that any of this would have ever gone on.

After graduating high school, Ledjabakov moves 100 miles from rural Fort St. James to the city of Prince George.

My name is Todd Doherty.

You know, importantly, and I think I've said this almost every time I've been on your show, 25% of forestry jobs are in the lower mainland, so a share of those would be lost as well.

But, you know, those people are more likely to be able to find another job in another sector than if you live in a small community like Port McNeil or, you know, last week I was in Fort St. James in Burns Lake where forestry is an important part of those communities.

We really need to make sure that we're looking at how to retain those workers, retain those mills and keep those communities healthy.

Kim, as always, really appreciate your time.

This Dorion is a friend of my older brother, George.

He was with George during the war at Kaskaskia, Fort Saint James and, uh, Detroit, I think.

Back in St. Louis, Chouteau spoke of him.

He's supposed to be one of the most experienced men on the river.

We'll introduce our Electric Athlete of the Week, and this week's winner is actually going to join us on the show.

Yes, we've also got an incredible feature guest, Prince George Cougars associate coach, longtime NHL coach, and Fort St. James product, Jim Playfair will join us.

We'll dabble into overtime and hear your questions.

And then in Around the Corner, uh, we'll take a look at all of the events going on around town, uh, in our great city, and around as well.

Uh, very excited for this one.

He's a Cougars associate coach.

He's a long time NHL coach in Calgary and Phoenix and Edmonton, um, and a lot of different spots in between, and he's also a Fort St. James product who has spent just decades in pro hockey.

Jimmy, just a, a great human being, and I'll say this, um, absolutely no disrespect to anybody else I've interviewed, I think he's my favorite person to interview, hockey person to interview.

They sold the land for the Surrey Hospital instead of building the hospital.

You know, the people in Fort St. James, they went to their hospital in a double wide trailer.

We built them a new hospital.

13 newer expanded hospitals, including the Burnaby Hospital, which was already in the budget and which we kept in the budget and which we'll deliver on.
