A journalist’s meeting in Montreal was hampered by visa issues, as six of their guest journalists were denied entry. This as many Canadian activists were detained in Egypt during the “March to Gaza” event last weekend. We’ll also tell you a bit more about ourselves. FrequencyNews published its 5000th story this week! Summer is, for many of us, gardening time. In Fredericton, there is more demand for garden plots than there is available space. And a feel-good story for us. A Tantramar high school student has raised $30,000 to build solar panels for his school.

Thanks to our journalists, Adam Inniss, Erica Butler, Jules Bugiel, Aidan Keenan and to both our National Editors, Victoria Fenner and Conrad Fox, with whom we had the pleasure of talking to this week, live on air! Viewpoints is produced by the Community Radio Fund of Canada and the Local Journalism Initiative. I’m your host and producer, Boris Chassagne.
