How's Kylie and the kids? When are you moving to Langford? Are you working on your jumper? (He once beat me in a game of Horse on T.V.)

Premier Horgan seemed to remember every little detail in people. It's because he truly cared about people. RIP PJH.

Former B.C. premier John Horgan died Tuesday morning at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria after his third diagnosis of cancer. He was 65.

Jordan's microphone and skinny ties deserve to go up to the rafters in arenas throughout Van. Island. For 2+ decades, Jordan brought the sights and sounds of Island sports into living rooms and he did it with his own unique style and sense of humour. Heck of a run JC! Onwards

This would’ve been my face if you told me this was going to happen on Day 1 of broadcasting school at BCIT. In all seriousness, nobody has dedicated themselves to local news in Victoria quite like this guy. Congrats 🥳 on the journey JP. #fiveyardcurl

An update on my role at CHEK News. Today is my first day as News Director at CHEK. We have a great team and I'm excited about this opportunity and the future of our newsroom. I will be stepping away from the anchor desk eventually. Thx for the messages and support. #NewChapter

Haven’t tweeted for ages, but feeing a little motivated today. 10+ years living with Parkinson’s - Dad’s worked his butt off to still have moments like this. Happy Friday. Keep swinging.

Between the Field of Dreams game and beating up on the Blue Jays - my ❤️ of baseball is returning.

[Chandler Grieve @ChandlerGrieve]

In 2009 I applied for my first TV job in Kamloops. Sandy was the boss. The job came down to two people. Sandy was smart and went with the other candidate. This led me to the Island and the rest is history. So basically Sandy shaped my life. Enjoy retirement and a great news run.

I’ve used so many different words explaining this vaccine rollout with my family, friends, the public and reporters....but today when I got the text...I had no words left. Just a smile and few tears. Dad got vaccinated. ❤️

Internships open doors. First jobs give you confidence. No industry means no opportunities. From someone who was lucky enough to turn a childhood dream into a communications career - I know first hand. Let’s support local. Sports is no exception.

[Chandler Grieve @ChandlerGrieve]

Today is an awful day for everyone at TSN/Team radio and sports in BC. I feel for everyone involved. I also feel for all the young and creative minds who are getting doors slammed shut. The industry is so cruel but it’s also a launching pad for many.

Update: All smiles in 2021 for the birthday girl!

[Chandler Grieve @ChandlerGrieve]

2020 started with the birth of our daughter on Jan 1. It ended with us trying to build her a tricycle on the eve of her bday. I won’t tell her about the rest until she’s older...but I hope we’ll always remember this year by the struggle and sacrifice and commitment to ride on. ♥️
