cheryl.croucher@ckua.org
Cheryl's career so far has been quite diverse, encompassing the world
of politics, music, the environment and, of course, radio.
Born and raised in Alberta, Cheryl from the University of Alberta with a degree in
Political Science.
Cheryl was teaching piano and studying composition when a casual
summer job in 1977 led to a fifteen year stint with CBC Radio and a new
found career in radio journalism. During this time Cheryl established
herself as a researcher, writer, producer and on-air broadcaster.
Through the 1980s, her insightful consumer commentaries were
syndicated across Canada, and in 1990 she became CBC Radio's first
environment commentator. Responding to public demand for more
information, Cheryl was soon producing tipsheets and magazine articles,
as well as travelling the province giving speeches and workshops on how
consumers can be more environmentally responsible. She has chaired
Canada Trust's Friends of the Environment Board, sat on the former
Environment Council of Alberta's Task Force on Economic Instruments for
Waste Management, Epcor's Water Advisory Committee, and is a continuing
member of Alberta-Pacific's Forest Management Task Force. In addition,
she's been a judge four times for the Emerald Awards for Environmental
Excellence. Cheryl continues her media and consulting work under the
umbrella of Porcupine Stone Productions which she started in 1994. She
has several videos to her credit. Cheryl's involvement with CKUA Radio
began with ECOFILE in 1997. In 1998, Cheryl started production on
Heritage Trails, a series of 500 vignettes on Alberta history. Of late, Cheryl is producing a new series about science and
research called INNOVATION ALBERTA. INNOVATION ALBERTA
broadcasts on CKUA
Radio at 8 pm Tuesday evenings.
