In addition to coverage of the monthly committee-of-the-whole and regular monthly meetings of Richmond Municipal Council, Richmond Warden Lois Landry wanted to do a program to directly engage with residents, businesses, and organizations.

The hope was to stimulate conversations on issues of importance to Richmond County and garner viewer feedback. Since being uploaded to YouTube three weeks ago, this episode has gained 314 views and feedback from viewers.

In Strait Talk Episode 40, Landry spoke with Civic Journalist Jake Boudrot about a number of issues that council has discussed and debated since the municipal election last October, including a proposed multi-use facility to replace Richmond Arena, which many Richmond County residents have been talking about for months now.

Other topics discussed included proposed tariffs levied on Canadian goods entering the United States, the need for affordable housing, increasing property assessments, as well as seniors’ issues after the warden met with the Seniors Take Action Coalition.

Plans are now in the works to do another program at a local sign business on the necessity of visible civic addresses so emergency personnel can access properties.

There are plans to do another in-studio interview with the warden to discuss a number of issues like those raised by viewers, as well as the provincial government’s plans to look into more resource extraction across the province, the effects of American tariffs on Canadian goods, funding for repairs to Richmond Arena, and changes to the municipality’s grants, travel, and hospitality policies.

A propos l’IJL

Impact de l'IJL est la section de Portailmedia.ca où les journalistes et leurs organisations participant à l'Initiative de journalisme local de CACTUS peuvent partager leurs plus grandes réussites.

À travers les reportages écrites, les photos et les vidéos que vous verrez dans la section Impact de l'IJL, vous serez en mesure de lire des témoignages de première main sur la façon dont la présence d'un journaliste communautaire fait une différence dans les communautés à travers le Canada grâce à l'Initiative de journalisme local et le Portail des médias communautaires.

Le portail des médias communautaires est une passerelle vers les médias audiovisuels créés par les centres de médias communautaires à travers le Canada. Il s'agit notamment de stations de télévision, ainsi que de centres de production en ligne et de nouveaux médias.

Les médias communautaires sont des centres de production à but non lucratif détenus et exploités par les communautés qu'ils desservent. Ils ont été créés à la fois pour fournir un contenu local et un reflet de leur communauté, mais aussi pour former les citoyens ordinaires aux médias et leur donner accès aux derniers outils de production médiatique, qu'il s'agisse de télévision et de radio traditionnelles, de médias sociaux et en ligne, de réalité virtuelle, de réalité augmentée ou de jeux vidéo.

Le portail des médias communautaires a été financé par l'Initiative journalistique locale (IJL) du ministère du Patrimoine canadien et est administré par l'Association canadienne des stations et utilisateurs de télévision communautaire (CACTUS) en association avec la Fédération des télévisions communautaires autonomes du Québec (la Fédération). Dans le cadre de l'IJL, plus de 100 journalistes ont été placés dans des communautés mal desservies et on leur a demandé de produire du contenu civique qui sous-tend la vie démocratique canadienne.

LJI Impact is the section of commediaportal.ca where the journalists and their organizations participating in CACTUS' Local Journalism Initiative can share their greatest successes.

Through the written stories, photos and videos you see in the LJI Impact section, you'll be able to read first hand accounts about how the presence of a community journalist is making a difference in communities across Canada through the Local Journalism Initiative and the Community Media Portal.

The Community Media Portal is a gateway to the audio-visual media created by community media centres across Canada. These include traditional community TV and radio stations, as well as online and new media production centres.

Community media are not-for-profit production hubs owned and operated by the communities they serve, established both to provide local content and reflection for their communities, as well as media training and access for ordinary citizens to the latest tools of media production, whether traditional TV and radio, social and online media, virtual reality, augmented reality or video games.

The Community Media Portal has been funded by the Local Journalism Initiative (the LJI) of the Department of Canadian Heritage, and administered by the Canadian Association of Community Television Users and Stations (CACTUS) in association with the Fédération des télévisions communautaires autonomes du Québec (the Fédération). Under the LJI, over 100 journalists have been placed in underserved communities and asked to produce civic content that underpins Canadian democratic life.
