CFRC’s 4th Annual Funding Drive

Did you know that CFRC is Canada’s oldest radio station? It’s true! Thanks to community support, CFRC has been going strong for almost a century. This Friday marks the start of their fourth annual funding drive, which runs until the 8th of February. The goal is to raise $18,000 through community events and donations over the ten day campaign. Last year’s goal of $17,000 was easily surpassed, so there’s no reason why CFRC can’t do it again!

You can help out by making a donation by phone: (613) 533-CFRC (2372), online, in person (Lower Carruthers Hall, Queen’s University), or by attending one of their many exciting events:
