Jam in Jubilee isn’t the only awesome opportunity for Fraser Valley Residents in Abbotsford this week!

Campus Buzz is giving away a $100 gift card to the UFV Bookstore to anyone who can find the hidden ear buds on campus!

Meanwhile, at Jam in Jubilee on Thursday, don’t miss local phenoms Oh Village and Vancouver heavy hitter Evan Conrad from Bed of Stars, as well as the wonderful Sweeney Singers!

Keep on listening to Jam in Jubilee Radio every Thursday from 5-6 pm for the latest on this week’s festival, and catch the podcasts any time, including last week’s episode featuring info about the upcoming Jam in Jubilee Film Fest, and Cycling Abbotsford!

Saturdays come for some of the hottest music in the mainland with a very special guest DJ CIVL is pleased to be able to roll out to Abbotfordians for the first time!

CIVL is also very excited to show you excerpts from two half hour features put together by Close Look on Shaw Channel 4 Sundays at 1pm and Mondays at 5 am, and Shaw Multicultural Channel 116 at 9 am.

Close Look won the Innovative Initiative Award at the Fraser Valley Cultural Diversity Awards back in March of this year, when CIVL Radio also won the award for Outreach. CIVL and Close Look have developed a working relationship since then, and CIVL Radio was featured in it’s own half hour episode of Close Look last month, as well as having invited Close Look to come to Jam in Jubilee, which wrapped up last week!

Check out the all the footage below of our volunteers, Jam in Jubilee artists and performers, and some of CIVL’s favorite local bands!

After less than a year of FM broadcasting on 101.7 FM, CiVL Radio is proud to have received the award for Community Development from the 2011 National Community and Campus Radio Awards, on June 7th, 2011 hosted by the NCRA and CKDU 88.1 FM in Halifax, Nova Scotia!

While the UFV Student Union Society made it possible for CiVL Radio volunteers and staff to attend the awards gala and conference, special thanks is due to the National Campus/Community Radio Association, without whom 101.7 FM would not be broadcasting the unique, local Fraser Valley programming content we continue to develop for our communities and campuses.

In addition to CiVL’s win as an organization, Inventory Manager Alicia Williams’ show Mood Swings, on Mondays from 11 am – 1 pm received an honourable mention in the category of Music Programming for the submission of her all Fem Con (Female Content) episode! Way to go Alicia!

Thanks goes most of all to the incredible volunteers, programmers, directors, and especially listeners, who make CiVL Radio the valuable and effective medium for local, community, and campus events and issues in the Fraser Valley.

Without all of you, no impact would be felt whatsoever.

CiVL Radio will continue the tradition that’s developed this year of high quality programming and increased listener and community involvement starting with two upcoming projects: The Jam in Jubilee festival, which CiVL proudly sponsors, and will take part in hosting a night of, and the Community News project that CiVL Radio has just received funding for from the Community Radio Fund of Canada!

Stay tuned for more info!

While those of us lucky enough to represent CiVL Radio at the 2011 National Community and Campus Radio Conference will be at CKDU in Halifax for the week (thanks to some much needed support from your Student Union Society!)

Those of us staying in Abbotsford can get excited for Jam in Jubilee!

The return of Abbotsford’s premiere Music and Arts festival is bound to be better than ever, so get on board if you want to be a sponsor, vendor, or involved in any other ways!
