The Vancouver Community Television Association was out at the 20th Under the Volcano Festival on August 8th, 201 in North Vancouver with the Shaw mobile broadcast unit. In Episode 1 we feature interviews with Meegan Maultsaid and Don Staniford, performances by Joey Only and the Outlaw Band, Veda Hille and Declan de Barra and Part 1 of a discussion with Avi Lewis, Naomi Klein and Arthur Manuel.
We now have an extra half hour of broadcast time on Saturday and Sunday from 7:30 to 8:00 pm. We are looking on launching a 26 episode program focusing on the environment and the people, groups and organizations that are creating practical solutions to create sustainable communities. We believe that we will have to act ourselves and not rely on governments to solve the serious ecological challenges we face. We are looking on anyone with a passion for the media, the environment or both, to help work on our new show. No experience is necessary as we will provide training.
We will be meeting on:
Tuesday, February 8 at 7:00 pm
VcommunityTV office
305B – 1067 Granville Street,
Vancouver, BC.
For more information contact ecovillage@vcommunity.tv. See you there.
