We feel very fortunate to have these opportunities, and our community benefits from them greatly.” CIAX 98,3 FM (Windsor, Quebec) 98,3 FM (Windsor, CIAX CIFA 104,1 FM (Saulnierville, New Brunswick) New FM (Saulnierville, 104,1 CIFA This year, the Community Radio Fund of Canada’s efforts to diversify its sources of revenue have paid off. In fact, the Canada Revenue Agency granted us a non-profit organization registration number which will allow us to implement the Community Radio Foundation of Canada, to the benefit of about180 community radio stations across the country. Throughout 2016, the Fund distributed close to $3 million to campus and community stations as part of its 6th round of financing for its Radiometres program. We are well aware that this contribution, although significant, does not satisfy the essential needs of campus and community stations. It is therefore imperative that we continue our diversification efforts to find other donors. MESSAGE I would like to thank the Community Radio Fund of Canada board members who assisted me in my functions of president. I was able to count on the Fund’s executive FROM THE office regularly. The board welcomed four new members: Ashly Kissman, Sylvain Lafrance, Monique Levesque and Pierre-Louis Smith. My heartfelt thanks to the PRESIDENT entire board for their dedication to the growth of the campus and community radios movement. Sadly, we have learned that Peter Fleming, one of our board members, passed away this year. The Fund was privileged to benefit from Peter’s expertise and passion for campus and community radio. We extend our sincere condolences to his family. The Fund recently hired a new executive director, Amély Friolet-O’Neil. We warmly welcome her into the great community and campus radio family. The current annual report will allow you to understand the significant impact the Fund has had on the develop- ment of campus and community radios all over the country since its inception. Enjoy the read.
