QUESNEL, B.C. – The ongoing development of City Hall continued today as the City of Quesnel announced it has reached an agreement with Vista Radio that will see Quesnel’s local radio stations, The Wolf and The Max, call the fifth floor of the City Hall complex home.

“This is exciting news for the City of Quesnel,” said Mayor Nate Bello. “This announcement is proof our Council is committed to improving the economic viability of City Hall. To have a partner join us with the rich history of community involvement that The Wolf and The Max enjoy enhances this facility.

“This is another step forward. We are filling City Hall with great tenants,” Bello added. “I welcome the staff from The Wolf and The Max and know they will enjoy their new home. Our goal of a financially sustainable facility has come one step closer with today’s announcement.”

“We wanted a high-visibility space to call home in Quesnel and the fifth floor at City Hall is certainly that,” said Tracey Gard, General Manager for Vista Radio Cariboo Region.  “The space the City made available for us is of superior calibre, making our decision to relocate a pretty easy one. We have a great relationship with the City of Quesnel and look forward to continuing to offer our listeners outstanding programming from our vibrant and rejuvenated new office.”

The agreement will see Vista Radio lease roughly 1,875 square feet on the fifth floor. Tenant improvements will begin immediately, with the station scheduled to move in by late-May. The lease is for a 10-year period.

The fifth floor is comprised of roughly 8,700 square feet of prime real estate on the top floor of City Hall, featuring spectacular views of the City from three sides of the building. The Ministry of Transportation currently occupies 3,220 square feet on the fifth floor.
