NCRA Issues
(Zoe)
Zoe - Workshops presented and attended were very well received
Zoe - made some good friendships with CKUT (Montreal) and a Kingston
NCRA provided grant for “Resonating Reconciliation”
Don - Benefits from membership – member email list, legal counsel, Program Exchange
Not sure if there is influence from NCRA on CRFC grants
Being able to understand the topics of conversation – Equity and Diversity
NCRA Board is not holding to principles that they have defined for themselves
Don - Can we make a statement about steps to address systemic oppression when we apply for membership?
Zoe – Hiring committee did not follow the policy – diverse outreach was not followed
When it was brought to their attention they extended the period.
Recent position was posted only in English – forced to resend in French.
Don will let them know that regular consultation with Zoe will be done.
Only one case being investigated – Zionist persecution.
Zoe is looking at an alternative Media Advocacy Group – backing fund is.
Not recommending attendance by young women – was it East Coast thing? No recognition of indigenous people. Was it the environment?
