The 12th round of The Community Radio Fund of Canada\u2019s (CRFC) Radiometres will award funding to 42 community and campus radio stations. The creativity and diversity of the projects selected this round ensure a lasting impact will be made on communities across Canada.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These projects build community in their local area while driving the production of Canadian content and innovating the entire broadcasting industry. This funding provides an opportunity for community radio stations to explore their community\u2019s identity and bring local voices to air.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, projects range from exploring queer histories to educating listeners on <\/span>Indigenous truths across Canada<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the stations selected is 99.3 County FM (CJPE). The community radio station broadcasting in Prince Edward County will create an eight-part documentary exploring homelessness in rural communities. The project will interview those experiencing homelessness as well as community organizations and leaders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

99.3 County FM describes the project,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHomelessness is often perceived as an urban dilemma, as the homeless are more visible and more numerous. While the situation may seem similar in rural areas to that in big cities, the rural homeless face some unique challenges. With CRFC funding, our \u201cVoices from the Shadows: Homeless in a Rural Community\u201d project will shine the spotlight on what it means to be homeless in Prince Edward County (PEC) and Hastings County.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Radiometres has supported community projects for over ten years and is guided by three pillars including, content creation, skills development and digital initiatives. These pillars allow each station to create programming tailored to their own communities and experiment with new mediums and creative methods of delivery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
