This “Hot Seat” will no doubt invoke memories of one of Launceston’s longest established restaurants – The Canton. 

Chris Sayer’s guest is Noel Chung, who took over the Canton from his father-in-law in the 1980s, and has now retired to leave the restaurant to his daughter. Noel reflects on six decades, and three generations, of tradition and hospitality in the restaurant business in Launceston.

In this program, we begin by paying tribute to Adrian Wood, who should have been the host talking to his fellow Rotarian Alan Harris in this Hot Seat program. Adrian's untimely passing in 2025 still resonates with us, but Alan provides us with a nice homage to a good friend.

Chris Sayer then explores Alan's history - from his family history through the generations to his motivation to be a community leader with a vision for Launceston.
