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).

A bison sculpture carries hope for Manitoba’s tall grass prairies. The Buy Canadian movement draws more shoppers to local farmers’ markets. Fredericton’s Community Kitchen’s pilot summer student meal program hits the mark. And the West Montrose historic “kissing bridge” closes for major restoration. New lips will have to wait for 16 months, at least!
Thanks to our journalists this week, Aidan Keenan, Lauryn Mackenzie, Paul Heriott, and Ryan Funk. To both our National Editors, Victoria Fenner and Conrad Fox. Host and producer Boris Chassagne.Viewpoints is produced by the Community Radio Fund of Canada and the Local Journalism Initiative.
