Art Aronson is on the move.
Aronson, who grew up on Thetis Island and graduated from Chemainus Secondary School in 2005, has been the news director of The Q radio station in Victoria for the last four years. His last day was Friday.
Aronson will be taking on a new job in communications for the provincial government.
“It’s bittersweet for sure,” he noted. “I love working here and in radio. It’s just a nice step forward in my professional life though, I think.”
Aronson’s last newscast was on the Scott James show when he announced at the end he was “signing off.”
There have been many messages from well-wishers coming into the radio station since news of his departure became known.
Aronson was the subject of a feature story in March of this year as part of a regular series about Chemainus Secondary School grads in the Chemainus Valley Courier.
