From the Archives: What The Hell Yeah Prince George?

Sep 05, 2014, 08:50 PM

On Monday's episode of Daybreak, Russell Bowers is going to be speaking with the Prince George Chamber of Commerce about their "Hell Yeah Prince George Ambassador Award," a new title being given to a person or organization who demonstrates pride in the community. It's named for the "Hell Yeah Prince George" Facebook page which in just a few months has grown to over 16,000 members.

So in anticipation we dug into our archives for a conversation from March when Hell Yeah Prince George was just a few weeks old and facing criticism for deleting negative posts. Andrew Kurjata spoke with the creator of the page Scott McWalter, and Bryce Lokken, a marketer and comedian who had written a blog post about the risks of too much positivity.
