Justin P. Goodrich, who hosts & produces the weekly political and public affairs radio program, says that given the incredibly positive response we received from the community after our all-candidates debate for the federal election, we are glad to be able to once again provide an opportunity to connect the community with their candidates.
The Way I See It has been on-air since January of this year and is the only show of its kind in the Fraser Valley. Part of what makes community radio so great is that it not only offers a wide variety of programming, but it serves a meaningful purpose. The Way I See It is a great example of that because it is all about building bridges; in this case, between the community and its leaders says Aaron Levy, Station Manager.
CIVL will also broadcast the UFV Political Science Student’s Association All Candidates Debate, which will take place on Monday, November, 14th between 7-9 pm on UFV’s Abbotsford Campus, moderated by Professor Scott Fast. The Agenda is outlined below:
7 pm – Welcome and introduction to the meeting format
7:05 pm – Candidates introduce themselves (three minutes each)
7:30 pm – Written questions from the audience
(Written questions from the audience are vetted by a panel of three students, this is to ensure no repetitive questions as well as to allow for a broad range of topics. Questions may be directed to individual candidates or all candidates. All candidates will be given the opportunity to answer any question. Candidates will receive three
rebuttal cards that will allow them to respond to the claims of other candidates (that is, speak twice or more on a particular issue) – but will
spend a rebuttal card each time they do so Candidates will be given up to two minutes to answer and/or rebut.
8:45 pm – Candidates each receive two minutes for closing comments
9 pm – Meeting is concluded and the audience has an opportunity to speak personally with the candidates
When Jack Webster retired from professional journalism in 1986, it left a void that could only have been filled by the developing and encouraging generations of up and coming, successful news seekers and reporters to live up to the Gold standard many believe Webster had set in his career.
Last night, two community journalists with close proximity to CIVL Radio were recognized for their work, focusing on local, relevant, grass roots reporting.
Tyler Olsen from the Chilliwack Times was the sole Fraser Valley reporter recognized at last night’s awards, for his piece “A Growing Concern” chronicling the pervasive practice of running marijuana grow-ops in residential Chilliwack neighbourhoods.

Also recognized was Jon Steinman, from CJLY Kootenay Co-op Radio in Nelson, whose “Deconstructing Dinner” is archived Saturdays at 5 pm on CIVL Radio. Steinman was named as a finalist for the same Community Reporting award, for the September, 2010 Deconstructing Dinner episode “Local Food Fraud? An Investigation“, which has aired multiple times on CIVL 101.7 FM and can be heard and downloaded here.
CIVL Radio is proud to share communities with these leading reporters, and excited to dedicate content based on the same grass roots principles in our daily news programming, provided for by the Community Radio Fund of Canada, which you can podcast by copying this link and pasting it into your iTunes settings, or by checking back daily for updates here and on the CIVL Radio Facebook page or Twitter!
