Pipeliner Wives Club

Posted on Nov 30, 2018 by admin

A great radio documentary from CBC Radio’s The Doc Project: “Adrienne Pan is a host at CBC Edmonton. Her husband, Ben, is a utility welder who works on pipelines. When they first met, Ben had decided to leave that life behind. Then, three years into their marriage, he got back into it. Ben is now on a seven-month Enbridge contract, living over 1,000 km away from his wife. This is not the marriage Adrienne had in mind. So, she’s reaching out to a group she’s suddenly found herself a part of – a group she calls ‘The Pipeliner Wives Club.'” Listen online. Originally broadcast Nov. 26, 2018.
