The Harrison Festival of the Arts kicked off last week, as well as Jam in Jubilee in Abbotsford, and this weekend, the Vancouver Folk Music Festival takes over Jericho Beach Park, while The Mission Folk Music Festival takes place next week… What a great time for music in the mainland!

Stay tuned to CIVL Radio 101.7 FM for updates and coverage of the festivals, with such regular CIVL programs as Songbag with Ed Wilson and Psycho Radio with Amos Evans.

Don’t forget about Jam in Jubilee on Thursdays until August 11th, specifically NEXT week, July 21st, between 7-9 pm, when CIVL Radio 101.7 FM sponsors the night’s music and events, as well as our first Volunteer Awards Ceremony!

The University of the Fraser Valley‘s Campus Newspaper, The Cascade, this week features the above photograph of CIVL Inventory Librarian and Host of Mood Swings on Mondays between 11 am and 1 pm, Alicia Williams, showing off the Community Development NCRA award won by CIVL Radio at the National Campus and Community Radio Conference this past month in Halifax at CKDU 88.1 FM, and talking about her honourable mention in the category of music programming for Mood Swings’ FEMCON episode!

CIVL wants to take this as another opportunity to thank the NCRA, CKDU, Student Union Society, and the Cascade for all the hard work and support they’ve put into helping CIVL Radio be all that we can be!
