EDMONTON – Local radio programming to Aboriginal communities in Northern
Alberta will continue to benefit from local radio programming, with a leg
up from the Government of Canada.

This week, Brent Rathgeber, MP for Edmonton-St. Albert announced funding
for the Aboriginal Multi-Media Society of Alberta (AMMSA) for the
production and broadcast of radio programming. He made this announcement on
behalf of the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and
Official Languages.

The $354,700 of funding will support 168 hours of radio programming per
week, of which 12.5 hours will be in Cree and three hours in other
languages including Dene, Nakoda Sioux, and Michif.
