Viewpoints 100

Viewpoints

We will all be hoping for a clear sky on April 8th trying to catch a glimpse of the total eclipse of the sun. Saying whoosh to the clouds! A $250M revenue-sharing agreement is reached with BC’s northwest communities. In Ontario, the Elora Centre for the Arts gets an extra $1.2 M in government funding to help its expansion. Millinery artist Natalia Baquero introduces hat-making in the Eastern Townships. And we’re celebrating the 100th episode of Viewpoints with our journalists from all over the country. They’ll drop in from time to time to tell how they feel about radio, journalism and their special part of the country!

That’s it for us for this 100th episode of Viewpoints. Thanks to our our reporters and collaborators: Erica Butler, Bernadine Fox, Aysha Mian, Ted Evans, Ian Gregg, Ryan Hunt, Lauren McKenzie, Scott Onyschack, Pamela Haasen, Taylor McClure, Ryan Gillespie-Wilson, and Sabrina Spencer. To our national editors, Maureen McEwan, Victoria Fenner. Host and producer Boris Chassagne. Thanks to the entire English team at Frequencynews.ca. Some 40 journalists give us their all, every week, so that we can learn more about their villages, towns, cities and provinces. All of them believe in journalism, love their community radio stations and our “gathering place,” the website of frequencyNews.ca. That’s where everything that is produced is gathered every day. Viewpoints is produced by the Community Radio Fund of Canada. A shout out to our team there in Ottawa.
