Jesi Janjua Interview

Jesi Janjua has always called Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh home, having volunteered in the local Rotary club, worked in a variety of industries including hospitality, social services and now industrial services. He’s aiming to sit on City Council after this inaugural dash towards local government. Janjua tries to balance a compassionate perspective on poverty with a firm stance on crime in the public safety aspect of his platform. That’s not all he focused on during our 15 minute question period time limit while answering questions that were informed through our audience survey.

Jesi referenced local food production and reducing the cost of rentals by increasing their supply as practical solutions to address affordability pressures. He also cited the need for council members to get involved in development projects by exploring areas of the community in question and talking to residents about their concerns.

Janjua promises to dig in wholeheartedly if elected to the Prince George City Council during our Municipal Elections on October 17th, 2026.

In collaboration with CFIS 93.1FM, CFURadio 88.7FM held an All Candidates Forum for Mayoral and Council candidates the evening of Thursday October 8th, 2026. The forum’s audio is posted on www.cfur.ca and available on FrequencyNews.ca.

Tim Bennett Interview

Tim Bennett has been volunteering in our community in a variety of ways, essentially since he was able to, leveraging his passion for arts & culture, and also championing the opportunities sport represents locally. These interests led him into a School Board Trustee position, then into Prince George City Council in 2022. His working life features a resume of non-profit and charitable activity, primarily with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern BC, and Scouts Canada.

Bennett spoke with CFURadio’s audience about the challenges he and council have navigated and the opportunities that lay ahead. He wants to move into a proactive approach to the future of the city, preparing for a coming economic boom, as opposed to a reactive approach. In the present, rental costs, transit improvements, and other aspects of affordability are on his front burner. Bennett revealed this, and more, while answering questions that were brought about upon examining his platform, and prioritized through our audience survey.

He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve the public in various capacities over the last several years, encouraged young people to exercise their right to vote, and hopes people understand the significance of Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh’s future ahead of our Municipal Elections on October 17th, 2026.

Bob Radloff Interview

After raising kids, and now grand kids, in Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh, engineering entrepreneur Bob Radloff wishes to return to City decision making, this time as part of Council instead of administration. He feels his experience can fill a needed role around the Council table by demanding fiscal responsibility, appropriate taxation, preparing for Artificial Intelligence’s impacts, creating necessary changes allowing for micro mobility, bike lanes, density focused development, and an incoming economic boom leveraging local resources wherever possible. Like many residents, his family has not been insulated from the impact of the toxic drug crisis. While not presenting himself as an expert on the subject, he encourages communication between agencies, intervention where necessary, and implementation of intervention models that proved successful elsewhere like Seattle and Ontario

Radloff spoke to all this and more during a 15 minute interview while answering questions informed by his platform, and prioritized through our audience survey. He expects a higher voter turnout during the City of Prince George’s Municipal Elections on October 17th, 2026, and hopes he can play a role in innovation, safety and prosperity as part of City Council.

James Steidle Interview

Returning to Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh to become a local taxpayer in 2017 after exploring the world, pursuing education and employment, James Steidle now runs for a City of Prince George Council position.  Exploiting our overlaying transportation infrastructure by supporting our city’s role as a transport and logistics hub is part of his plan. Aware of what regional AI technology development already means for residents, Steidle weighs the benefits additional expanding industries may bring and wishes to position the community to capture the incoming wave. Prioritizing affordable non-market housing, developed considering population density, is something Steidle feels would soften the pressures of affordability, while preparing for change.

Hanging up his Stop the Spray BC hat for a moment after tirelessly advocating for green space, Steidle kept to our 15 minute time limit while answering questions that were brought about upon identifying his platform, and prioritized through our audience survey. He hopes others will see the value of supporting local business, economy, and community ahead of the City of Prince George’s Municipal Elections on October 17th, 2026.

Dan McLaren Interview

Dan McLaren has managed wealth as a local entrepreneur providing investment services since 1995, and doesn’t appreciate that municipal taxes, “have gone up at twice the rate of inflation for the past twelve years, and probably further than that.” Reducing, even temporarily freezing those taxes are a part of his platform in addressing affordability in Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh. Calling this city his home for nearly forty years, McLaren has donated to a number of causes including hospice care. In that time he’s also had more than one property burn down. His platform also centres on bolstering safety, and investment in the community.

McLaren walked through a number of ways that the City could position itself for an incoming economic boom beyond developing more efficient spending habits, including the involvement of local industry leaders in economic development strategies, leveraging the large physical footprint of our municipality and saying yes to industry considering development in our area.

McLaren spoke with CFURadio at his downtown office further, about his platform, and questions that were developed considering our audience survey ahead of the City of Prince George’s 2026 Municipal Election.

Bruce Wayne Interview

Bruce Wayne Lambright, better known as Bruce Wayne, has spent the better part of a year attending and familiarizing himself with City Hall proceedings ahead of running for a City of Prince George Council position. Working in a variety of fields such as distribution & logistics through Coco-Cola and Vankam Freightways, and also BCLC operations with the local Treasure Cove casino, and regional Billy Barker and Chances casinos. He’s also ventured into entrepreneurship with JDL Customs, and participated in the Prince George Chamber of Commerce. Being a parent of four has been a component in motivating him to run for Council. 

Wayne indicated a frustration with the City Council falling short of consensus on important issues. He wants to put motions and resolutions forward than can get the needed votes, in order to accelerate action. Among other beliefs informing public safety initiatives, he’d like more data to better inform those decisions and enable effective communication. A feature shared amongst several candidates, including Bruce Wayne, is a vexation over taxation.

Wayne answered CFURadio’s questions that were developed upon considering feedback from our audience survey, live on-air. He hopes others share his desire for consequential action on Prince George City Council during our Municipal Elections on October 17th, 2026.

Trudy Klassen Interview

Raising a family, and operating a forestry business, in Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh after moving here from northern Alberta over thirty years ago, Trudy Klassen has been a familiar volunteer before entering public service in 2022 as a Prince George City Councillor.

At city hall, she’s sat on a number of committees including, but by no means limited to, the Standing Committee on Finance and Audit.

Klassen spoke with CFURadio comfortably banging out answers during an efficient 15 minute question period, which was informed by examining her platform, and our audience survey.

She hopes the younger cohort will get behind her plan ahead of our Municipal Elections on October 17th, 2026 for a livable future in Prince George. A future she hopes to make more affordable, accessible, and safe by serving on Prince George City Council.
