Canada’s longest-running campus broadcaster and one of the oldest continually operational radio stations in the world, is opening its doors to celebrate 50 years of broadcasting from Lower Carruthers Hall at Queen’s University.
CFRC staff and volunteers invite you to drop by 62 Fifth Field Company Lane near the corner of Union and Division, next to the campus bookstore. Enjoy refreshments and a taste of our history.
2010 marks the 88th year of radio broadcasting at CFRC, which began as an experimental station in 1922. Originally housed in Fleming hall, CFRC moved down the lane to Lower Carruthers Hall in late 1959. Opening ceremonies for the new facilities were held on January 7, 1960. The upcoming Open House is being organized on the 50th anniversary of this event and is open to the public; all are welcome.
