Aboriginal Voices Radio Need Your Letters Of Support

The CRTC is threatening to revoke our licenses, We are a non-profit that receives no government funding. They expect us to meet crazy conditions in line with multimillion dollar for profit FM stations...the CBC towers where we broadcast from charge us for profit rates more than double the rate of other not for profits ... HELP!

Parker Leflar's letter as an example....

Aboriginal Voices Radio is an incredibly important service to community. As an Edmonton resident, I listen to this station almost every single day as a way to learn more about local and canadian Aboriginal issues and stay connected to what's happening locally. Their programming has always been excellent. Any attempts to shut this station down on the basis that they are not fulfilling their role in servicing Aboriginal communities should be met with great skepticism. Who gets to decide what content is applicable or relevant to urban Aboriginals? Only First Nations, Metis and Inuit people themselves have the right to determine this, not the CRTC.

AVR does important community work with very little resources. They should absolutely not be penalized or have their licence revoked on the basis that they cannot always fulfill the same requirements expected of profit-driven stations. AVR is valued and valuable. Please consider the negative impact it would have, and what message it sends to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal listeners, if this radio station were to be shut down. We need MORE Aboriginal voices, not less.

This station is a valuable and important contribution to society - we need more media outlets like this so as to educate mainstream and provide doorways for inclusion on every social level. Canada is made up of Aboriginal Communities which have much culture to add to the fabric of Canadian society. Content of Aboriginal media should be driven by the First Nations People themselves. AVR is a valued contribution to our society, we NEED more aboriginal voices, not less - consider th enegative impact if this radio station was to be shut down!
