Connecting Canadian Communities
Our Purpose
Supporting community radio builds a better Canada. The Community Broadcasters Foundation of Canada supports stations in every corner of Canada, from small towns to urban centres, to university campuses to First Nation reserves. We work to ensure these stations have the resources they need in order to connect with, strengthen and educate their communities.
Community Radio
Across Canada, you can find more than 230 community, campus and Indigenous stations broadcasting programming in over 65 languages, including 11 Indigenous languages.
Community radio acts as a lifeline to preserve language, culture, and diverse perspectives.
It facilitates important conversations and disseminates integral information to remote and underserved communities.
Community radio stations are members of the communities they serve. Their goal is not to generate profit but generate the health and well-being of communities, the foundation of our nation.
These stations are supported by a network of volunteers and local employees. They create local economic growth, by creating affordable and targeted advertising opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses.
