Regional Conference a grand success!
October 16-18, CFRC 101.9fm hosted the National Campus and Community Radio Association (NCRA) Ontario Regional Conference at Queen’s University in Kingston. The conference brought community radio broadcasters from 20 stations across the region (from Thunder Bay to the Lower North Shore of Quebec) together with local students and radio buffs for two days of skill-sharing and audio entertainment. More than 100 people participated in the conference. Highlights included the live performance and broadcast of a student-produced radio drama on Friday, October 16 at 8pm in Wallace Hall; a local music showcase featuring Treebot and Cities Turn to Sand on Saturday, October 17 at the Mansion; an FM transmitter-building workshop presented by Toronto’s New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) and a panel discussion on Indigenous Land, Language and Radio. A big thank you and congratulations to everyone who helped to make the conference a success!
