About This Item

The "Maple Leaf Mailbag" is a great listener-based program on Radio Canada International. The host, Ian Jones, reads letters and plays voice mail messages from listeners, and will often call listeners for on-the-air chats! In fact, that's the genesis of this bug.

One day, Ian had his sister-in-law on the show and she was talking about Geo-Caching. I sent Ian a message telling him about my interest in Geo-Caching, and he called me and put me on his show to tell his listeners more about our hobby. He then sent me a ton of Radio Canada swag for caches, and this bug is the first of many with Radio Canada souvenirs.

You can listen to the program even if you don't have a shortwave radio! Just click on the following logo:

and go to "Latest Program" or "Archives." There you'll find all the programs, ready for you to listen.

And when you log your find of this bug, make sure to either call Ian at (514) 528-8821 or e-mail him at mapleleafmailbag@rcinet.ca and tell him who you are and where you found the bug. Who knows, he may put you on the air!
