The NCRA is putting on two regional conferences this fall, one for each side of the country!

From October 20-21, CFRO Vancouver Co-op Radio will host a BC regional, including sessions on creating news programming, an audacity tech workshop, audio art, interviewing musicians, social justice and co-operatives and more! And happily enough, this also happens to be Co-op Week! 

The schedule and registration form for the Vancouver Regional conference can be found here. 

And from October 26-28, CKJM-FM in Chéticamp, Nova Scotia will host a bilingual Atlantic Regional conference. It will include workshops on fundraising and radio bingo, recording local musicians, working with rural co-operatives and more! Conference schedule and registration form for this conference will be posted here soon. 

The conferences will be a great opportunity to see and learn from some amazing workshops and presentations, learn about co-operatives, and meet, discuss issues and get to know fellow community radio folk from across the region.

Both are part of the Sounds Co-operative project run by CJLY-FM in Nelson and the NCRA. This work was funded by the Co-operative Development Initiative.
