Weekly Radio Program - Sundays 9-10 am 93.1 FM
Every week, your volunteer hosts promise to feature music from Aboriginal people in Canada. You are in for a variety of music - it could be some Metis fiddle music, some traditional pow wow music from First Nations drum groups, some Inuit throat singing or it could be some good ole rock n' roll or bluez from either First Nations, Inuit or Metis folks in Canada.
We air at 9-10am every Sunday morning on 93.1 FM. For those wishing to catch us on TV, go to Rogers Cable 944. And for all you internet listeners in other parts of the world, you can easily connect by following the link to LISTEN LIVE through the Real Audio or MP3 stream.
Aboriginal Radio Camp 101
Aboriginal CKCU is proud to have worked with the community to find sponsors to cover the costs of sending 6 Aboriginal children to radio camp for one week last summer 2008. Because the program was such a huge success, we're doing it again. The kids really enjoyed themselves and felt so proud to go live on the radio. One child felt it was the best thing ever. Many thanks go the the sponsors and of course our wonderful program director, Dave Sarazin.
The radio camp will be in August 2009. The cost for Radio Camp 101 is $250 per child. We are looking for sponsors from the community. If you are able to sponsor an Aboriginal child to attend Radio Camp, let us know and Aboriginal CKCU will work with the Aboriginal organizations in Ottawa to get ten children between the ages of 9-14 to attend a week long program to learn how to become a radio technician and producer. And of course you will hear their show on CKCU. This is a great learning opportunity for the children and it may plant some seeds in their minds about future job prospects. To demonstrate your interest, see attached document (click here) and then contact Aboriginal CKCU.
