Canadian reality TV show can help with that inherited fixer-upper

THOMPSON-OKANAGAN – Have you inherited a fixer-upper in the last couple of years? If so, Vancouver-based Anaid Productions would like to hear your story.

The producers of reality TV series like X-Weighted and The Liquidator are casting subjects for the second season of a new renovation/real estate TV show which will see homeowners who make the cut given a major home renovation and makeover with the help of the experts provided by the show.

The production company hasn't said what the name of the show will be or when the first season will air.

Anaid Productions sent out a similar call last fall in Kamloops and the Okanagan.

If you want to take part, send your contact information, photos of the subject property and the story of behind the property to casting@anaid.com.

Anaid is also casting in Ontario for the production.

John began life as a journalist through the Other Press, the independent student newspaper for Douglas College in New Westminster. The fluid nature of student journalism meant he was soon running the place, learning on the fly how to publish a newspaper.

It wasn’t until he moved to Kelowna he broke into the mainstream media, working for Okanagan Sunday, then the Kelowna Daily Courier and Okanagan Saturday doing news graphics and page layout. He carried on with the Kelowna Capital News, covering health and education while also working on special projects, including the design and launch of a mass market daily newspaper. After 12 years there, John rejoined the Kelowna Daily Courier as editor of the Westside Weekly, directing news coverage as the Westside became West Kelowna.

But digital media beckoned and John joined Kelowna.com as assistant editor and reporter, riding the start-up as it at first soared then went down in flames. Now John is turning dirt as city hall reporter for iNFOnews.ca where he brings his long experience to bear on the civic issues of the day.
