Elizabeth Ann Laird, a pioneer in B-C's broadcast industry, has died.
Laird moved to BC from Ontario in 1967 and lived in the North Okanagan before settling with her husband and family near Merritt and investing in radio station CJNL1230, now Q-101, in 1994.
Laird became the sole owner in 2016 and is credited with giving many broadcasters their start in the industry while she was involved with the station.
The active community volunteer, business leader and longtime Merritt-area school trustee sold CJNL to Pattison Media last year.
An announcement about a memorial service is expected later.
