Ollie Williams has a lot going on in the community for a guy who has only been in Yellowknife for 3 years. Be it his volunteering, business building or his familiar voice on the radio, he is getting things done.

Originally a sports reporter from the United Kingdom, Ollie made his way to the Vancouver 2010 Olympics where he met his now-wife Jennifer. From there they spent time in Fort Liard, NWT before finally moving to Yellowknife.

Ollie quickly gained notoriety in Yellowknife because of his golden vocals, which were heard throughout town on Moose FM. He has also spent a lot of time volunteering with sporting organizations, has started a few of his own businesses, and, oh, he is part of a forward-thinking group of community members starting Cabin Radio.

We dove into all of these things with Ollie in this episode of the How To Be a Yellowknifer podcast, so have a listen and subscribe.

You can also follow Ollie on Twitter at @OllieW or at his latest venture cabinradio.ca.
