Telile partnered with other organizations on Isle Madame to help organize the 2024 Lieutenant-Governor’s Community Spirit Award presentation, held on August 31 at the D'Escousse Civic Improvement Hall.
In preparation for the event, Telile produced a video showcasing the communities and institutions on Isle Madame. The video featured original songs by Isle Madame natives Beverley Boudreau and Cornelia Sutherland. It was shown during the ceremony, aired on Telile afterward, and has since garnered nearly 1,000 views on YouTube. Its popularity has led to ongoing requests from residents for copies.
Telile also recorded the ceremony, which was broadcast on the channel and uploaded to YouTube, where it has received close to 250 views.
Civic Journalist Jake Boudrot attended the event and secured an interview with Nova Scotia Lieutenant Governor Arthur J. LeBlanc. Footage from the ceremony, along with the interview and a press release from the organizers, was used in episode 18 of The Record. This episode, which has received nearly 70 views on YouTube and positive feedback from viewers, was aired a week after the ceremony.

A propos l’IJL
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.
