The ReStart Initiative- Help Your Business!

ReStart Initiative Advertising Grant/Subsidy

CFURadio 88.7fm is offering grants of advertising to local businesses to help support their re-launch and re-opening following the COVID-19 lockdowns.

The grants are being offered because as local non-profits, community radio knows the value and importance of local businesses, and wants to do its part to help to reboot the local economies.  For the stations offering steep advertising discounts, the pricing for our sector is already far below the for-profit commercial sector and these discounts make them even more accessible. Community radio is a tax-deductible expense. The money spent on our community stations supports the non-profit and raises awareness of that business in that community. 

Fill out the form below to see if you are eligible for the advertising grant!

Local School Districts Discuss Opening Curriculum to Traditional Language Options

Plans are being put into motion for youth to gain the option to learn Dakelh!

Ts'iyaowh Lhulhyats'oolhtuk -

Everyone is Speaking with Each Other!

School District 28 (Quesnel), 57 (Prince George) and 91 (Nechako Lakes) want to work with Dakelh Nations, Speakers and Knowledge Holders to develop a provincially recognized Dakelh Language Curriculum.

This curriculum will ensure students can not only learn Dakelh, but also get credits towards graduation and fulfill their second language requirement versus having to learn other languages.

Join us for the Virtual Live Gathering over Zoom Apr 14, 2021 07:00 PM (PST) and/or watch our video and provide feedback through our short online survey.
