98.5 The Ocean

Canada Day long weekend. Just the sound of it makes you feel great! This is your one stop to find out what is going on around town this weekend. Have a safe and enjoyable time. ~Forbes & Marshall

If you have an extra $29.7 million hanging around, you can buy Celine Dion’s Quebec mansion. It would come fully furnished surrounded by our own personal moat. Ok, it’s on an island. She is selling because she rarely spends any time there. Perhaps if we all pooled our money we could buy it for a time share. ~Forbes & Marshall

Listen, it’s a massive BBQ for 5,000 people and a live concert from Hedley. Seriously, that would be awesome! If we get into the top 10 we at least get the BBQ. Can you help us out and vote? Time is running out! ~Forbes & Marshall

Thanks to you and the staff at the Westshore Town Centre Tim Hortons for having us out to support Camp Day! You want to see staff throw TimBits and us catch them in our mouths? Well, this is your lucky day~ Forbes & Marshall

Our little Canadian girl Carly Rae Jepsen is now becoming an international star because of her song Call Me Maybe and with the help of fellow Canuck Justin Bieber. She went to theatre school here in Victoria and made a stop on Canadian Idol…bet she didn’t think that the president of the United States was going to sing her song! ~ Forbes & Marshall

On Sunday morning at around 11:30am, we ask you to watch Global’s Miracle Network Telethon in support of BC Children’s Hospital. We present a cheque on your behalf for over $160,000 which was raised during Ocean 985′s Radio Thon for Kids. This morning we came across another Victoria family and their plea for help. Can you help Micaela achieve her goal for her sisters sake? She will be shaving her head at her sister Marisa’s bedside at BCCH around the same time we present the cheque. Find our more here.
