Was pleased to be able to interview Kevin Skrepnek in this week's podcast. Kevin is a young Kamloops leader to watch. At the age of 19, he want to work at MP's Betty Hinton constituency office, he ran for City Council at 21, and he now serves on the City's Social Planning Council. I've been really impressed with him since I've got to know him over that past year or so. We don't agree on everything, but I respect Kevin a lot. He is on a pretty fast learning curve, and I imagine he will be very successful as a community representative now and in the future. Here is a roadmap of our audio interview, and below the roadmap, the audio of our interview.
