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).

Black History Month is coming up this February. Under the theme “all that we carry.” Paintings of New Brunswick-born Edward Mitchell Bannister come to Sackville, courtesy of the Smithsonian Museum. The exhibit is called Hidden Blackness. The Town of Cobourg, in Ontario, is rethinking its position on issuing religious declarations, this after being asked to designate a day in March as Atheist Awareness Day. The Wilfred Laurier University kicks off a new indigenous online course. A Concordia University student attends the COP-29 meeting in Azerbaijan and shares his experience with us. And a staffed salmon hatchery will be built on the north bank of the Nechako River, in British Columbia.
