Boxing #Dad #Halloffame #Olympics #Medalist This is the second segment from our podcast conversation with Canadian boxing legend Dale Walters. This one starts with speaking about his father Len Walters who was a Canadian boxing legend in his own right. Dale showed off pictures of his Dad that he has framed in his house. Len forged an incredible career and was 139 - 10 as an amateur and 14-4 as a pro. He won 4 BC championships, 2 National Canadian titles, the US amateur featherweight title and competed in the Olympics. He was on the undercard of the Joe Louis fight in Vancouver. Len was inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 1995. Those shoes were obviously very hard to fill for Dale but at an early age he set out to reach and even surpass his Dad's achievements. Dale was 165-12 won 3 BC championships, 5 Canadian National titles, he went to the Commonwealth and Pan American games before he went to the 1984 Olympics. Dale was included on the undercard of the Muhammad Ali fight in Vancouver against George Chuvalo because his Dad had been on the Joe Louis card years earlier. Dale has a great story of meeting "The Greatest" and also has pictures of that momentous occasion. At the Olympics Dale won Canada's first boxing medal in 52 years as he won the bronze and did so in very dramatic fashion. The last guy to win that medal was Horace "Lefty" Gwynne in the same bantamweight division and also in Los Angeles. Gwynne was at the bout that Dale won his medal and was honoured before and after. Dale was part of arguably Canada's greatest assembled Olympic boxing team with Sean O'Sullivan, Willie Dewitt and Lennox Lewis among others. Dale initially was unhappy with winning the bronze medal but was treated like a National hero upon his return to Canada and the partying started and lasted a while. He eventually embraced his accomplishment and likes sharing great stories from his Olympic experience. Dale talked at length of the honour of both his and his Father's induction into the BC Sports Hall of Fame as probably the biggest of his life. He invited his first ever sponsor Sev Morin who owned a night club, restaurant and banquet Hall to come to the induction ceremony and recognized him during his speech. He wanted to give payback to some those who were instrumental in helping him achieve all that he had in his career. Keep your eye out over the holidays for a couple more segments on our great chat with Dale. Enjoy, Take care, Love yah, Bye for now!

#Halloffame #Olympian #Brawlforitall #Boxing This first clip of many after a lengthy conversation this one is focused on the Dale Walters vs Tony Pep fight! We had a fantastic conversation on this latest podcast episode with a boxing legend. Dale Walters joined us via Zoom and we had a really long chat about many topics in his life. We want to post this in segments so it is easier to consume by watching or listening to. This is the first post on big moments from his life story that has been a life well lived! This first segment clip is discussing his ongoing feud with Tony Pep and ""The Brawl For It All" which was the epic fight between the two bitter rivals. Dale has just posted his breakdown of the fight today on his facebook page and it is an incredible read. He has started to give some great first hand accounts of most of the big moments in his boxing career by regular Wednesday posts. Give them a read it has been so great to watch and read about. Our podcast episode and the chat we have with him kind of piggy backs this and allows some different insight in video and audio form. We suggest that you watch this and also find the fight on Youtube and check it out as it is one of the most entertaining fights in history. It has become so legendary and you can see what Dale is talking about. I think our only wish is that this fight would have happened about a year or two later in history. Dale is such a great guy and ambassador for Canada, B.C., Vancouver and Burnaby that it would have been great to see a more favorable outcome for this fan favorite. With a few more 10 or 12 round fights Dale could have a chance to be able to handle the distance a bit better. In this instance the villian won the fight but Dale has gone on to do many great things in life. We are all lucky that he was born and raised here and stayed here to continue to give back to his community that helped him on his journey to the top of the world. We suggest that you find Dale on Facebook and social media and follow his posts to see so many of his accomplishments broken down and given unprecendented insight into a very successful boxing career. Please go to www.dalewaltersboxing.com for more details on his life and what he is up to now. Enjoy, Take care, Love yah, Bye for now!

February’s Dog BREAKING THE STIGMA OF MENTAL ILLNESS IN ALBERTA PAUL J. CHINOOK IS BREAKING THE STIGMA OF MENTAL HEALTH AND BRINGING AWARENESS FOR ALBERTA OIL FIELD WORKERS AND PEOPLE IN CANADA What did you like most about playing Dale Walters in February’s Dog? Dale is an extremely like able character. He’s very charismatic, charming, and easy going. There are layers to his character that the audience get exposed too as the story plays through. At first glance, it appears as though he doesn’t have a care in the world. That he’s just kind of like a big friendly dog eager to make everyone happy like he’s fed off smiles and laughter. We catch glimpses of the depth of thought he is capable of at the rare moment when he lets his guard down. “Hopefully what we can do is draw attention to mental health issues and draw attention to the resources and get people talking about these issues.” - Chinook February's Dog takes place in Alberta in modern time and is set against the beautiful and iconic back drop of the Canadian Rocky Mountains under a shroud of winter snow. It follows two uniquely different, yet typical men – Dale Walters (played by Paul J. Chinook) is a very charismatic and lighthearted man that works hard to enjoy a life of adventure and excitement. His work partner, Nigel Loggins, (played by Kevin Davey) is a military veteran who is quiet and calculated in his approach towards life. The film opens with these two men as they are finishing up work on a Friday. They get called into the office at the end of the day and are laid off by their boss Arthur Newbury, (played by Doug Wilson) a very clean cut, to the point, middle aged manager. Arthur is a friend and suggests that this is just temporary, and that they will be back at work in three months – just as soon as market oil prices recover. Dale and Nigel interpret this “break” quite differently and act accordingly. Ultimately though, both men find themselves in a merciless battle against desperation and depression. How will they get out? Or will they? The story is a hard one but one that needs to be told as it is far too common silent battle in today’s society. The film stars Paul J. Chinook, Quinn Teechma, Kevin Davey, Will Webster, Sarah Wheeldon, Dan McDougall, Doug Wilson, Felipe Paredes and more. Chinook has been in the Calgary television and film industry as an actor and writer since 2013 and wanted to take that next step. “It’s really challenging as a Calgary or an Alberta actor to land those auditions, because nine out of 10 the production already has a Vancouver or a LA actor established for that role before you even go in there.” I started writing this story to keep busy and what a topic it was to write about. So many people have gone through this, losing their job in the oil field.” “It’s got a very strong mental health aspect to it. We watch two of the characters go through some extremely challenging situations and sadly are far too real in Alberta right now with losing work and struggling and bills piling up.” He has written five screenplay ideas and this is the first one that went into the production. “It’s kind of all been surreal,” shares Chinook. - Regina Leader Post Starring and created by Paul J. Chinook as (Dale Walters Writer/Producer), also starring Kevin Davey as Nigel Loggins, Quinn Teechma as Emily Walters, Doug Wilson as Arthur Newbury, William Webster as Jedd Wilson, Sarah Wheeldon as Kate Carter, Jill Maria as the Store Clerk, Sheridan Peirens as Tamara, Dan McDougall as Pastor Frank, Felipe Paredes as Jimmy Walters, Scott Dumas as Fertility Doctor, Stephanie Wilson as Marv’s Diner Waitress and Marianne Hutchings as Nurse Jean. Production: Jose Luis Gonzalez Cinematographer, Directed by Candace Gonzalez and LnC STYLE as the 1st AD.
