Viewpoints
«Viewpoints» is the latest podcast and news magazine produced by the Community Radio Fund of Canada. It provides an overview of what’s happening across Canada, thanks to some 20 radio reporters posted across the country (British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, North West Territories, Québec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia) and working for the Local Journalism Initiative (LJI). The Local Journalism Initiative (LJI) supports the production of original civic journalism news content that covers the diverse needs of underserved communities across Canada. Politics, society, environment, community, arts and culture take the air on «Viewpoints» hosted by Boris Chassagne. The Community Radio Fund of Canada works in collaboration with the National Campus and Community Radio Association (NCRA/ANREC).

On today’s show:
We’ll be all about housing and go to Halifax where the Housing Minister wants to get construction projects rolling. And then to Montréal, where protesters met at the Olympic Stadium to disturb Housing Minister Elaine Duranceau’s speech at the East Summit. In Peterborough, 50 shipping containers will be transformed into a new housing community for the homeless. Things are looking up in Kitchener, Ontario, where 500 new affordable housing units will be built. Nothing compared to the 65,000 units Toronto’s planning for the year 2030. And Terry Teegee, BC’s Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief, is working to find solutions to the housing crisis.
Thanks to all our journalists, Haeley DiRisio, M. P. Holmes, Edward Sweeny, Jules Bugiel, Owen Thompson, and Brenda Little. National coordinators Victoria Fenner and Maureen McEwan. Host and producer Boris Chassagne. Viewpoints is brought to you by the Community Radio Fund of Canada.
