Come by the Co-op Radio table, and pick up a Listener’s Guide or some of our new buttons. Chat with the volunteers, who are mostly station programmers. about their shows, and how you can get involved.
Become a member, or get a t-shirt. (We now have four colours and lots of sizes so you’re sure to find one that pleases you.)
We are also reaching out to you in other ways this summer.
You may have seen another wave of our three Co-op Radio images across the GVRD recently. Ten more of these posters went up in donated spots in Vancouver. The three designs feature Chelsea D.E. Johnson who is a frequent Co-op Radio guest; Johnny MacRae, a Co-op Radio listener; and Jasmine Liddell from the Wise Hall, one of our Community Partners.
They each tell us why they love Co-op Radio.
We trust that you love Co-op Radio, too. How about a button or t-shirt to show it? Here are three easy steps to get a t-shirt for free:
- Take a selfie with one of our three designs from transit shelters around GVRD.
- Then drop by our table at one of the festivals listed above and show a volunteer the photo.
- We will give you one of our Co-op Radio t-shirts.
