A huge thanks to Jim Rutherford for giving me a heads up on this one....Gerry Mosby, one of the five finalists for the HNIC Anthem Challenge, was born in Port Alberni. I'm not sure if he was raised here, but I'm doing some more research on it. Cool story either way. I haven't even listened to the songs....but I'll be voting for Gerry!
Here's the voting details.
