APPLE BOX TALKS: MAYOR MIKE HURLEY
"Film is an important part of Burnaby. It's built into our DNA now. We have to be sure that we, at the city level, do everything we can to help it along."
Our newest guest on the Apple Box is Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley. Originally from Northern Ireland, Mayor Hurley has called Burnaby home since 1988, when he joined the Burnaby Fire Department. Elected as Mayor of Burnaby in 2018, he has always been a staunch advocate of workers and the labour movement — joining his first union at 17 years old! Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.
