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).

In British Columbia, the Comox Valley’s 10th annual Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser hopes to collect $225,000. Also in BC, an exhibition highlights the work of the Haida master carver, Christian White, which will be on display until 2026! And to the province of Quebec, which is facing one of its worst flu seasons in years. Some 4,500 cases were revealed in lab tests last week alone—a peak not seen since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thanks to our journalists, Jules Bugiel, Jesse Wentzloff, and Heather Watson. Our National Editors are Victoria Fenner and Conrad Fox. Viewpoints is brought to you by the Community Radio Fund of Canada and the Local Journalism Initiative. Host and producer Boris Chassagne.
