Alliance des radios communautaires du Canada
The Alliance des radios communautaires du Canada is a Canadian organization, which serves as a coordinating body for French-language community radio stations in the regions of English Canada, where French speakers are in the minority.[1] Founded in 1991, the organization supports the development and maintenance of French-language community radio in Canada through lobbying, advocacy, management support, training and syndication of programming.[2][3]
The organization cooperates with, but operates separately from, the Association des radiodiffuseurs communautaires du Québec for community radio stations in Quebec. In 2018, the two organizations held their first-ever joint conference for all French-language community radio stations across Canada.[4] Alongside organizations such as the Association de la presse francophone, the Quebec Community Newspapers Association and the English-Language Arts Network, it is also a partner in the Consortium of Official Language Minority Community Media, which supports the overall development of minority-language media in Canada.[5]
In 2010, the Alliance des radios communautaires du Canada and the Association de la presse francophone selected Pascale Castonguay, the editor of the francophone newspaper Le Voyageur, as a correspondent covering the 2010 Winter Olympics for all member outlets of both organizations.[6]
