George Fletcher: CBC K-W community co-host Friday morning

George Fletcher is an active member of the K-W community both in and outside the classroom. And he's the first community co-host to join CBCKitchener-Waterloo'sCraig Norris on The Morning Edition this autumn.

Before becoming a teacher, "Fletch"had a diverse 20-year career in DJ-ing, music production, radio hosting and mentoring.

It was his love of education and music that encouraged him to get a Masters degree in Education, and then secure a job with the Waterloo Region District School Board.

Since then, he has continued to maintain both passions by mentoring youth in Waterloo Region in music.

He thinks the K-W Community co-host programme is an exciting opportunity to once again merge his interests in both teaching and media.

"Hopefully I can educate the listeners about some of the aspects of what I do," he said.
