Premier Bill Bennett of British Columbia announced they would donate a million dollars. Imperial Oil and McDonald's were also donating big sums. Ken Geiger eventually took over the morning show at CFGP and Ken Connors moved into the afternoon show. Ken Geiger later moved to CJVI Victoria BC, a sister radio station. Ken Connors left radio in 1981.
