Women broadcasters unite in Montreal

On Thursday, June 11, CKUT Radio in Montreal will host the annual one-day Women
in Radio Conference (WIR) during the week-long National Community Radio Conference.

During the WIR, feminist broadcasters and allies come together to create spaces for greater
participation by women through skill-sharing, visioning, and consciousness-raising.

By prioritizing the voices of marginalized women, the conference addresses
institutional oppression and discrimination in the campus-community radio sector.

The conference also showcases the accomplishments of women broadcasters in the
sector and holds women-only trainings in technical broadcasting.

The Women in Radio keynote presentation is by Audrey Redman, talking on
“Voices from the Underground: Women's Voices, Women's Power” in the
ballroom of the Shatner Building (3480 McTavish, McGill University)
Thursday, June 11 – 17:00-18:30

Audrey Redman is the host of 'Honour the Earth' a First Nation's news and music
program (formerly aired on CKLN community radio at Ryerson University in
Toronto).

The WIR takes place in the Shatner Building (3480 McTavish, McGill University) from
9h00-18h30. This conference is wheelchair accessible and child care will be
provided. For the WIR 2009 Schedule and to find out more about this year's
