The Radio Malaspina Society Board of Directors has again moved to hold our 23rd Annual General Meeting online via Zoom. The meeting will occur on Tuesday, October 26th with virtual 'sign-in' starting at 5:30 PM, and meeting business starting at 6:00 PM.
As of Monday October 4th, staff, volunteers, and station guests are now required to have Proof of Vaccination in order to participate in person at CHLY.
Due to the expressed need to replace our ageing transmitter, the Radio Malaspina Society’s Board of Directors seeks the approval of its members to seek a loan of up to $25,000 to replace its transmitter. The transmitter is integral to the operations of CHLY-FM, and if the current transmitter failed, the station would be off the air for an indefinite period of time, putting our broadcast license at risk.
Jesse Woodward here. It’s been a while since our last update here at the station, but that's what happens when you're busy juggling a lot of different things behind the scenes!
