Moose, beavers, bears, and stampedes – just another day in the life of this episode’s guest, Glen Mikkelsen, Manager of Entertainment at CN Centre in Prince George, BC, Canada. Join us for this fun episode where we learn all about Northern BC and the CN Centre, what makes them unique and special, and their various events – including the 2022 World Women’s Curling Championship (originally ready to start in 2020, one day after things shut down). Hear what it’s like managing the largest venue in Canada north of Edmonton, challenges they face with booking and weather, and their hospitality-forward mindset – which is not only a staple of their residents but permeates their venue experience. Beyond his love of his city and venue, Glen is passionate about professional chuckwagon racing, which celebrated its 100 year anniversary this year, and is unique to Canada. Falling in love with the sport growing up in Calgary, Glen has authored three books on the sport, including his latest, “The Rangeland Derby - 100 Years of Chuckwagon Racing at the Calgary Stampede,” which came out this spring. We also learn how he fell in love with live events, from planning gatherings for friends to volunteering at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, where he worked ski jumping (when Eddie The Eagle competed) and bobsledding (when the Jamaican bobsled team made headlines). Grab your cowboy hat and a bottle of your finest maple syrup and enjoy this oh so Canadian episode with Glen, eh!
