A Love of Community Radio

Peter Grant was a long-time volunteer and former Programming Coordinator at CFRO - Vancouver Co-op Radio, as well as a board of director at CRES.
 
His partner, Hildi Westerkamp says: "Peter loved everything about Co-op Radio.” He was most passionate about music and culture, and Peter would record live performances across the city, and later broadcast the recordings from the radio station.
 
When Peter passed away in 2014, under Hildi’s guidance, a portion of his estate was used to establish The Peter Grant Memorial Fund for Music and Cultural Programming through CRES. Because of their generosity and foresight, the fund makes it possible for a new generation of radio programmers to record and broadcast music, sound art, and spoken word performances by local artists, who otherwise would have limited opportunities to find their audiences across the Lower Mainland.
