Production/Program Manager < Back Lesley Galbraith Production/Program Manager G’day! Here is a little bit about me. I was born in England. Leicester, to be exact. I grew up on the west coast of Canada. Then moved with my family to Ottawa, then to Florida, Vegas and finally back home to Canada, where I belong. I have a wonderful 23-year-old son, four cats and two dogs. I was born into a very theatrical family, and worked in live theatre in Daytona Beach, Florida for 10 years and with the cast and crew of hotel shows at the famous Flamingo Hilton, in Las Vegas. When I came back to Canada, I worked for a law office in Ottawa and moved up to the Valley. Best move I could have made. I was the very first “employee” hired at the station back in 2006. And what a ride it’s been. Right now as the Programming and Production manager, I am mainly behind the scenes. But I’m very happy to be the only female member of Hunt Camp Live – “it was my idea”. I wouldn’t change a thing about my job. I’ve loved every moment and look forward to the future and whatever it holds. Contact lesley@valleyheritageradio.ca Previous Next

Hosted by Jason Marshall, the two-hour show shines the spotlight on the country music boom of that era and features the great music of the day including Garth Brooks, Randy Travis, George Strait, Shania Twain, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire and many, many more.
