February 13th is World Radio Day, and also the anniversary of CJSF's FM License!
The objectives of the Day will be to raise greater awareness among the public and the media of the importance of radio; to encourage decision makers to establish and provide access to information through radio; as well as to enhance networking and international cooperation among broadcasters.
Radio is the mass media reaching the widest audience in the world. It is also recognized as a powerful communication tool and a low cost medium. Radio is specifically suited to reach remote communities and vulnerable people: the illiterate, the disabled, women, youth and the poor, while offering a platform to intervene in the public debate, irrespective of people’s educational level. Furthermore, radio has a strong and specific role in emergency communication and disaster relief.
There is also a changing face to radio services which, in the present times of media convergence, are taking up new technological forms, such as broadband, mobiles and tablets. However, it is said that up to a billion people still do not have access to radio today.
World Radio Day 2018
UNESCO invites all radio stations and supporting organisations to join us for World Radio Day 2018, a chance to strengthen diversity, peace and development through sports broadcasting.
As we look forward to a year of momentous sporting events, events that have the ability to unite the hearts and minds of people everywhere, we call on all radio stations around the world to showcase the beauty of sports in all of its diversity. Let's celebrate the traditional sports that connect us to our cultural heritage, the grassroots sports that anchor us within our communities, and the inspiring stories that challenge gender stereotypes and covers, equally, both men’s and woman’s sports events.

At CJSF's Radio Kids Camp, participants aged 8 to 12 have the opportunity to produce their own show and learn about recording, sound editing, sound effects and DJ-ing – all while enjoying familiar summer camp activities like workshops, games and field trips to local cultural venues and media outlets. At the end of the week, Radio Kids Camp participants create their own live radio program on CJSF, playing music that they choose and broadcasting the stories that they have created during the week.
Throughout the week, campers learn radio journalism skills that will aid them in thinking critically about the world and creatively expressing their passions and ideas.
