Gary Barnes

I joined Black Press Media in January 2022. With more than 30 years of experience in news reporting and radio broadcasting, I've worked in newsrooms in Castlegar, Vernon, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Vancouver, Victoria, Squamish, and Merritt. I returned to the Okanagan in 2018 after eight years as the assistant manager for Canadian Forces Radio Europe in the Netherlands. I also created and managed an internet radio station for several First Nations in the Nicola Valley.
