Hour Two

A community of friends in Edmonton have donated the second hour. Dedicated to their friend William Lee Pratt and passed in 2022.

“ Will was always happiest when he was creating, crafting and listening to music – mostly on CKUA.

The station could be heard blasting from his home”

Wil’s friends created the Peace, Love, Infinity Legacy Fund. The fund focuses on continuing Wil’s legacy.
