Leila Darwish is the BC-Yukon Regional Organizer for the Council of Canadians. Over the last decade, she has worked as a community organizer for different environmental organizations and community groups in BC, Alberta and the USA on campaigns such as fracking, tar sands, pipelines, nuclear energy, coal, climate justice, water protection, and more. She has spent the last several months organizing with communities across BC that are fighting fracked gas pipelines and LNG proposals.

He is a 30 year part time resident of Bowyer Island in Howe Sound and is actively involved with The Future of Howe Sound Society and My Sea to Sky, two community groups who have been active in raising concern and opposition to the Woodfibre LNG project currently proposed for Howe Sound.

The NCRA Equity Comittee has a Reading Group which meets bimonthly onair to discuss member suggested materials.

September was hosted by CJMP 90.1FM in Powell River.

Reading Materials can be found below:

First an interview on NonDefensive Communication in this August episode of WINGS: Sue Supriano, host of Steppin' Out of Babylon interviews Sharon Ellison, communications Counselor - website www.pndc.com 

This link is to a 2 page pdf with great summery info on Non Defensive Communication 

http://www.pndc.com/documents/summary-sheet-english.pdf 

This link takes you to a summary of Glen Singleton's Guide to Courageous Conversations about Race.

http://www.tolerance.org/tdsi/sites/tolerance.org.tdsi/files/assets/general/TDSI_Singleton__Hays.pdf

These 'rules' he suggests are applicable to any kind of challenging conversations not just ones about race. Again it's about communicating with other humans.

Finally a pdf of Ten Principals for approaching social justice issues through the arts. They are from a paper about using arts education to teach social justice issues however I feel the points are useful in many work environments outside of the classroom. Whether we are working on a documentary, a marathon, an episode, or just thinking about our work in the station, these ten points are good reminders of things to keep in mind or ask yourself throughout the work.

When we meet, I thought we might discuss some of our stations policies around communication, discipline, and enforcing rules or running meetings and how some of these communication methods have/could be implemented. CJMP policies can be found on our website.

Dis-Cussing Minister of Transportation Todd Stone's visit to PR and Drosting Out on the three articles written about it. Cousin Awd interviews Local Journalist Drewen Younge of Powell River Daily News. 

Music from The Meow-Meows, Another Project and Angelique Kidjo (for example).

#AwdPoli Awd Politics with Murray Dobbin we discuss the CETA and his article on Rabble CETA: Putting Corporations Ahead of Canadians

Once again Cousin Awd enquires what can we do that is more effective then holding up signs?

The First episode of Powell River Votes! focuses on civic engagement and accountability, the when/where/how to vote in the municipal election, and interviews with candidate Jim Baron, and Mayor Dave Formosa.

Hosted by Emma Bell and Ionatan Waisgluss.

Mary Lou Moore joined Courtney Harrop on The Film and Festival Express on Sept 28th to talk about the first Rossander World Community Film Festival, hosted in Powell River on October 9-11th 2014.

Cousin Awd encourages taking the box, squishing it, tearing it, chewing it and then ignoring it while you think of another idea entirely.

#AwdPoli with Murray Dobbin imagines a future without fossil fuels.

Aside from the incredibly groovy music from Paris DJ's, The Cactus Channel, The Brand New Life and London Afrobeat Collective, Abby from the Powell River Let's Talk Trash team attempts to explain the new MMBC Recycling Initiative.

PLEASE GOOGS the Board of directors for MMBC. (never mind here it is):

• Denis Brisebois, Treasurer, Metro
• Christine Bome, Walmart
• Scott Bonikowsky, Tim Hortons Inc.
