This year, we’re raising funds to replace the PC in our live studio. The PC in the booth is used to edit, record, play music, create show logs, do research, and more. It’s quite old at this point and in dire need of an upgrade. This will allow our hosts who use this PC to work faster and deal with fewer technical difficulties on their shows. A majority of our live hosts utilize the PC in some way.

As we’ve already met our goal we’re looking to upgrade things like our record players, headphones, and some other miscellaneous equipment.

Incentives:
This year’s pledge incentives are hyper limited! Donate early to secure your chance.

A 10$ donation gets you a choice between:
Fanny pack
Coffee mug
A physical copy of Distortion: One of the zines from our archives
A physical copy of Live from Local FM.

For any extra information or questions, please reach out to manager@cfmh.ca

In Ottawa there is a yearly event called Open Door Days.
It’s an opportunity for members of the public to enter offices and buildings they might not normally get the chance to explore.

This year’s World College Radio Day stations all around the world plan to take inspiration from this event.

On October 4th, we will be encouraging members from the campus and community to visit our space from 11 am to 4 pm.

A special part of this event will be the option for anyone who wishes to lend their voice to our airwaves and record a station ID.
I hope you’ll join us for a look inside our space!

This camp aims to introduce young folks to the wonderful world of music making! Campers will learn a new instrument, or new techniques on one they already play, form a band, and perform in a showcase at the end of the week! This camp is for girls, trans youth of any identity, non-binary youth, and gender-creative youth.

Campers must be between ages 12 and 17. The camp takes place August 19th to 23rd, 9am-4pm at the Interaction School of Performing Arts, with a Showcase performance on August 24th.

You’ll also be able to hear the campers live on our airwaves Friday August 23rd at 11am!

Olivia wanted to say thank you to all Local FM contributors for being so wonderful to work with, She will be leaving her role as Station Manager on May 9th 2023. Our New Station Manager, Brandon Logan, began their training this week and will be taking over henceforth!

Brandon will continue to use the same email address (manager@cfmh.ca) so all correspondence can continue as normal! 

Below is some history about Brandon’s time with the station!

———————————————————————————————————————-

Brandon has been a dedicated volunteer at the station for about six and a half years. They have had many roles during that time.

They spent a lot of that time as a board member. They contributed as a general member, a secretary, and until getting hired, recently served as vice-chair. Brandon also operated as a Volunteer Music Director for many years. A role which saw them sorting and cataloguing the vast amount of mail sent into the office on a weekly basis. Both digitally, and physically.

Brandon previously held two part time contracts with the station as both a Radio Camp Coordinator and as a Special Projects Coordinator.

As Special Projects Coordinator they created a master document detailing every music release in Saint John in the lead up to voting for the Best of Saint John music awards. During this time they also reached out to several local businesses in the community to arrange free promotion during the difficult pandemic period. 

They attended the 37th National Campus and Community Radio Association’s yearly conference in Fredericton, and are looking forward in the future to re-connecting with other stations across the country.
