From major cities to remote communities, CBF grants inspire people to create, support and listen to local, independent media.
This newly created role will expand CBF’s capacity to engage with a broad policy agenda working with stakeholders and accessing CBF’s significant amounts of available grant data to help inform policy recommendations and submissions.
