True Stories from a Northern Canadian Hotel

By: Cam Thunder

Narrated by: Cam Thunder

Cam Thunder describes what it was like to grow up in Prince George, BC where his parents owned the National Hotel.

"Our family owned the National Hotel from 1972 to 1998. My parents always instilled good values in me. As soon as I was able to pick up garbage in the parking lot, my dad had me working for my allowance. Throughout the years, I have done everything from the payroll, to carrying the raw sewage pipes out during the renovations in 1984. When I was in school, I would work weekends. During summer break, I would work full-time at the hotel. When I had enough of school, I chose to work full-time at the hotel. These are some of the true stories, and - believe it or not - they were seen with my own eyes too."
