We, the undersigned, endorse the efforts of the Parry Sound Community Radio Association (PSCRA) to establish Community FM Radio in West Parry Sound. We recognize the importance and validity of community radio and its value in preserving and building a local, collective voice and identity while supporting and advocating local interests. We support PSCRA’s application for community FM radio as proposed to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) by the Parry Sound Community Radio Association.
Furthermore, we recognize and appreciate that Community Broadcast Radio is the platform on which the community is plugged in, connected and engaged and which can build strength and vitality in its people. A strong community builds strong individuals, neighbourhoods, organizations, business and industry!
We acknowledge and appreciate that not-for-profit community radio ownership provides community access to the airwaves and fosters programming based on community participation.
