I'm New Here Episode One

Welcome to I'm New Here, a podcast from the Bulkley Valley. The Bulkley Valley has a beautiful landscape nestled in the interior of Northwest British Columbia. The scenery is lush, rolling green hills divided by the eye-popping Widzinkwah River that runs west along Highway 16.This podcast is a postcard from me, a newbie to the Valley out to the rest of the world to meet some of the characters that make the Valley so unique.In this episode, I introduce you to Karen Diemart, a powerhouse in the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources, but I know Karen because I volunteered at a festival where she was revered as a stalwart leader for the Bulkley Valley Folk Music Society. Then you meet Ivy Watson, a 20-something stuck in the "millennial life lava" of knowing what you want, taking what you know, and making something new that wasn't there before.Lastly in this episode I meet Angelika Langen, owner and operator of the Northern Lights Wildlife Society, a world-renowned animal rescue and release operation. Angelika asked me to meet her at the Society's grounds where I got to experience the vastness of the shelter and the variety of animals inhabiting the place!I'm New Here is a 3 part series hosted and produced by Pam Haasen.
