Up North host Jason Turnbull wraps up time in Thunder Bay
How much bocce ball do you have to play to work off Finnish pancakes?
CBC Radio's Jason Turnbull is winding down his week of hosting Up North from Thunder Bay but not before making time to see some of his fans.
In fact, all are welcome to visit Turnbull and the gang at an open house today at 3 p.m. The event is taking place at the CBC Thunder Bay studio, which is located at 213 Miles St. E.
The radio host who originally hails from the East Coast has been feeling right at home in northwestern Ontario thanks to the warm hospitality of local residents along with all of the delicious comfort food he's been consuming.
It's a good thing he interviewed Steve O'Brien with Full Tilt Fitness in Sudbury to get some advice on slimming down a waistline because everyone knows how pancakes can add up.
Fortunately, Turnbull has been keeping active with some bocce ball Thursday. He even took time to go fishing and curling — it doesn't get more northern Ontarian than that.
See how he's been spending his time in Thunder Bay through some social media posts below. The Up North host will be returning to Sudbury shortly and would be happy to meet some of his fans today at the CBC Thunder Bay studio.
