CFURadio & CRFC's Local Journalism Project Wrap Up

Pic.jpg

CFURadio 88.7FM wraps up their NewsRoom this spring following support from the CRFC’s Local Journalism Initiatives Grant. Just over $20,000 has been injected into the region’s news landscape since this past fall! Many people in our community and surrounding area acknowledge more Local news coverage is needed. Ian Gregg, CFURadio Station Manager, says, “In a region as large as ours, creativity and many resources are required to gather news and make an impact with the coverage. I can firmly say that our NewsRoom, headed by Kate Partridge, and staffed by students and local community-radio hosts, met that challenge with aplomb.” CFURadio’s NewsRoom captured, then shared, news and issues affecting communities throughout our region both online through canada-info.ca and via the “Due North” program presented twice on weekdays on our radio signal at 88.7FM.

Collaborating with the National College Radio Association (NCRA) by sharing news and resources with other campus-community stations across the country, we feel we made an impact this academic year. We’re proud to have been a part of this local-level, information-gathering project and are in the process of renewing funding to go for it again in July! This initiative was made possible by the Community Radio Fund of Canada, the only organization mandated to financially support campus and community radio stations in Canada. 

 Stay tuned for local news coverage on CFURadio 88.7FM in Prince George, everywhere on cfur.ca/listen-live and written content on both cfur.ca/the-newsroom and canada-info.ca/en/

BC Northern Indigenous Artists Call for Submissions - may 7th

The Northern Indigenous Arts Council is working with Diversified Transportation Ltd to select artwork from Indigenous artists affiliated with regional communities serviced by BC Bus North. The artwork should express and advance the connections between the Northern Regions Indigenous communities. This invitation includes artists working in any artform that can translate to large scale digital images.

“NIAC sees this as an opportunity for local indigenous artists to bring their artwork to the people of the North without them leaving their communities”. It is not often that artists can apply their work to an outdoor travelling “venue” that covers such a big geographic area. With so many galleries closed, this is the right time to undertake this initiative. Diane Levesque, President, Northern Indigenous Arts Council.

The artwork will adorn the four buses providing service between Prince Rupert and Prince George, Prince George and Valemount, Prince George and Fort St. John, and Fort Nelson and Dawson Creek.

Artists are invited to submit to the Northern Indigenous Arts Council by 5:00 pm, May 7th, 2021. Submissions of original designs/concepts will be accepted from Indigenous artists residing in Northern BC communities. From these submissions a committee will choose artists whose work will be selected for refinement, fabrication and application.
