Forging radio for the masses.

It takes a lot to start a community undertaking like Gabriola Radio. Writing planning implementing reviewing these are the tasks that get things shaking. From writing our CRTC application to registering our bylaws with the province these are the volunteers working to bring community radio to Gabriola.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Here is the place where we acknowledge the efforts from current active volunteers.
