Jacob 'Jake' Raven (1931-2018) emigrated to Canada with his family from the Netherlands in 1954. After farming in various locations in Alberta he moved to Grand Forks in 1990. In Grand Forks Raven was very involved in the community and served one term (2004/05) as mayor. Between approximately 2005 and 2009 Raven hosted a community television show that was broadcast on Sunshine Valley Cable 10. With a combination of in-studio and on-location interviews, 'The Jake Raven Show' provided a forum for the discussion of local affairs of interest to the Boundary communities. This fonds consists of digitized copies of those programs. Additional episodes of 'The Jake Raven Show" (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43,44, 45, 46,48, 49) created over several months when Raven toured the Netherlands visiting family and friends are also available for consultation at the Boundary Museum and Archives.
