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).

We’ll drop by Ontario, where the Russell Township forgoes a by-election by simply appointing its new mayor. The Eaton Centre will be home to the 4th Indigenous Fashion Arts Festival this May: Owen Thompson met up with the founder of the streetwear brand, Aaniin Retail. Centre Wellington’s Space Beans compete in national computer science challenge. In Liverpool, a Nova Scotia artist rediscovers her creative spark and exhibits her work at a new show called From Chaos to Calm. And a North Hatley, Quebec restaurant is now one of four in the whole country to get a Five Diamond rating.
Thanks to our journalists Candice Vetter, Derek Bullard, Owen Thompson, Rick Conrad, and Kate Stockman. To both our national editors, Victoria Fenner and Maureen McEwan. Viewpoints is produced by the Community Radio Fund of Canada. Host and producer Boris Chassagne.
