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”

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?
