Bruce Bowie MC for Play It Forward
Bruce Bowie found growing up in the small town of Piapot, Saskatchewan, provided two opportunities for enjoyment: snaring gophers, or listening to the radio. Since the other kid in town had the string, Bruce chose the latter. This began a life long career in the person-to-person and mass communication that radio is.
Bruce’s career spans 44 years, most of which has been in Edmonton. Morning radio has been his home since 1980. CISN FM enjoyed Bruce hosting the morning show for twenty one years. He took the opportunity when it arose to move to sister station 630 CHED, so Bruce shifted gears to talk radio.
Bruce and Mary live in Edmonton. They have two grown children and now, proudly, two grandchildren. Bruce’s past times include his passion working for the homeless, running and going on road trips on his motorcycle. His work with the homeless was encouraged thanks to an opportunity to sit on the Salvation Army advisory board for over twelve years.
Multiple times, Bruce has spent three days living on the street to bring attention to the plight of the homeless and to raise funds for Hope Mission. Of the many things he has experienced over his radio career, he considers this the most rewarding.
We greatly enjoyed having Bruce host at our past 'Play It Forward' fundraisers.
