Kevin is revved up about people volunteering at CFCR

When I was a little volunteer at Rogers Television at 16 years old, I still wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with my life. Now, largely thanks to the experiences I got to have at Rogers, I’m doing what I love and likely will for a long time to come.

Absolutely worth checking out.

And if you would like to take a closer look at your DNA you can do so that the stage at 1:30pm.
