Wayne Rostad has criss-crossed the country as host of the CBC's "On the Road Again," a weekly television series that profiles ordinary Canadians doing extraordinary things. The warm and unpretentious style that has become his trademark is fuelled by his genuine concern for and interest in people. Over the years, he has generously supported many organizations including the Ottawa Heart Institute, the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Children's Miracle Network Telethon. His commitment to the community is legendary and his popularity as a musician extends throughout the Ottawa Valley and the Outaouais region.
