CKDU is a non-profit campus and community radio station and student society based at
Dalhousie University, serving listeners throughout Halifax. Our mandate is to provide an
alternative to private and public broadcasters and serve as a forum for diverse and
underrepresented voices and artists. The station broadcasts 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
and is run by roughly 100 volunteers, a volunteer board of directors, and 3 core staff.
Dalhousie University and the offices of CKDU 88.1FM sit on unceded Mi’kmaq territory. We
recognize the colonial impacts that rest within university spaces and hiring processes and work
to address them. We welcome feedback as we do so. We are all Treaty people.
