Nord-Ouest FM in Falher is in full swing of its $30,000 for 30 Years fundraising campaign.
Nord-Ouest FM/CKRP president Esther Picard says all funds raised help the station to continue operating.
“This year, Nord-Ouest FM/CKRP is celebrating an important milestone: 30 years of serving the Rivière-la-Paix community,” says Picard.
“For three decades, the francophone community radio station has shared local residents’ stories, showcased local artists, and helped promote the French language throughout the region,” she adds.
In celebration of its 30th year, the radio station has set a goal of raising $30,000 by the end of August.
“This campaign will allow the station to continue its development, maintain its activities, and keep offering a strong local voice to the community,” explains Picard.
“At a time when community organizations face numerous challenges, this collective effort represents an important step toward ensuring the continuity and future of the radio.”
Picard says the station is located in the heart of the Peace Region and it reaches a population where francophone culture plays a significant role.
“The station offers inclusive programming in both French and English,” says Picard. “Beyond the airwaves, the radio also plays a concrete role in the region by creating jobs, offering learning opportunities for youth, and collaborating with many community partners.”
Picard says if you are interested in contributing to the station’s fundraising goals, you can phone (780) 837-2346 or visit their website at nordouestfm.ca and go to the membership or donations pages.
She adds all donations are processed through Zeffy, so a receipt will be automatically emailed to you.
“Together, let’s celebrate 30 years of history and contribute to the next 30 years of Nord-Ouest FM,” Picard says.
“Thirty years of radio, 30,000 reasons to get involved.”
