John Plul bio from BC Radio History.
The career of John Plul concentrated on public relations and community involvement. His marketing skills are legendary. In his executive role with CKNW he was instrumental in raising millions of dollars for the Orphan's Fund, for helping to establish Canuck Place - a hospice for terminally ill children. John has been involved and actively worked with dozens of community organisations.
As Vice President of BC's No. 1 Radio Station, John was presented with all the top broadcasting honours, including Broadcast Citizen of the Year for two years, Personal Dedication Award, Canadian Association of Broadcasters Award of Recognition, and recognised by the industry as an outstanding marketer on several occasions.
His honours from a myriad of service clubs, hospitals, and business organisations are too numerous to mention. John continues to serve in retirement as a private citizen with business interests, and in work to help the children and disadvantaged in our society.
