WELCOME FROM THE NCRA
A big welcome to the East Coast and to you for joining us at the 2015
NCRC here in Saint John, New Brunswick. The association is excited to take
new steps forward in strengthening the campus and community radio
sector across the country. With your participation and dedication, we can
do this!
We look forward to seeing some new and familiar faces around the conference and having the opportunity to discuss some big (and not so big)
topics. Specifically, the 2015 edition focus on governance and regulation,
equity, stability, and more.
This year there is also a lot of non-classroom work with close to a dozen
social events. We thank Local 107.3 FM for all of their hard work in setting
this up, the presenters for sharing their valuable insight, and the stations
and their members for supporting the association and the conference.
Don’t forget to try Big Tide Brewing - I am told it’s a must stop in Saint
John!

WELCOME FROM LOCAL 107.3 FM
Two years of incredibly hard work from staff and volunteers brings us to
this VERY exciting time as we ecstatically welcome you to Saint John, New
Brunswick. We hope you experience heaps of Maritime hospitality this
week.
One of our conference images is “The Three Sisters Lamp,” which you can
find in St. Patrick’s Park. It was erected in 1848 to be in direct line with the
steeple of the Trinity Church so that sea captains were able to navigate
their way safely into the Saint John Harbour at night. Three red gas lamps,
visible from three miles seaward, were stationed at the end of Prince
William Street. If the three red lamps appeared individually, sailors would
know they were heading straight into the harbour, however if only one or
two could be seen, sailors knew they needed to alter their course.
Meanwhile, the Three Sisters are also the three main agricultural crops of
various Native American groups in North America: winter squash, maize
(corn), and climbing beans. In companion planting, the three crops are
planted close together and benefit from each other.
We feel that these motifs really speak to the ideals of hosting this conference in Saint John. We welcome you all into our harbour to cultivate and
grow yourselves. The impact of such growth can only help in creating a
healthy and prosperous vision for the future.
Enjoy yourselves at the conference, and know that our team is here to
assist you.

Hack Jam (OH260)
Mark Kilfoil, CHSR
Our stations run on technology, and a lot of that is computer-based. But most of
the software we need is either over-priced or not exactly what we need for our
sector. Since a lot of really smart people -- both coders and not! -- come to NCRC,
why not get us in a room and BUILD something? That’s the Hack Jam: show up
with a willingness to get something created, and leave with something we made
together. Software will likely be our focus, because it’s easier to transport and
hack together code than transmitters. Coders definitely needed, but also idea
people, writing people and people who can simply be there to help coach and
keep us all focused.
10-11:15AM
Campus/Community Radio Athletics (HH124)
Aaron Levy, CIVL

Working with young people will bring energy, vision, talent and dedication to
your organization. It will help keep you and your organization current. By giving
youth opportunity to contribute, you will be drawing upon one of the greatest
human resources available. If you don’t capture this philosophy or believe in it,
your program will not work.

Managing Workplace Conflict (HH225)
Beth Gilbert, Saint John Volunteer Centre
Conflict is a natural component of organizational life. Individuals have different
goals, priorities, values and agendas, which is particularly challenging when
resources are scarce. The way we manage conflict determines whether it contributes to a positive organizational environment with constructive problem solving
or a toxic environment with poor decision making.
This workshop provides tools to:
- heighten awareness of our current style of addressing conflict
- manage conflict in a way that leads to optimal decisions, as well as improved
relationships.
The tools are simple but not natural. We need guidance.

Zoe Ludski, CJMP
This is an intermediate level technical workshop addressing a variety of Sound
Topics. This workshop focuses how Sound tells stories. We will hear examples

editing Sound using Audacity. This workshop will assume you know how to import and export sound with Audacity, and will focus on how to manipulate sound
and edit with multiple tracks. The very basics of equalizing and compressing will
be covered. We will discuss microphone technique, acoustics and equipment at
basic levels. These skills will be useful to those wishing to create podcasts, production elements, or feature segments.
