He is a long time journalist, working at CBC, Co-op Radio, and CKNW, where I first heard him growing up filling in for Rafe Mair.

He is also running for a seat on Vancity’s board of directors. We’ll discuss all that and more. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Allen Garr; Good morning, Mr. Garr.
