Red Robinson is still active in the BC entertainment industry, greeting stars of yesterday and today as they perform at his Red Robinson Show Theatre in Coquitlam and playing DJ Sunday afternoons on AM 650. And Red still fi nds time for philanthropic work with the CHILD Foundation, the Heart and Stroke Foundation and other charities. For his pioneering contribution to the Canadian music industry, this rock ‘n’ roll legend was the recipient of a UFV honorary degree in 2012.
