Volunteering at CanoeFM
You are about to join Canada’s most successful community radio station. Our management team, technical crew, sales department, office volunteers, and on-air talent have all dedicated themselves to becoming the true voice of the Haliburton Highlands.
From modest beginnings in 2003, we have positioned ourselves as ‘the place to go’ for entertainment, community information, and effective local advertising. Canoe FM is woven into the very fabric of the county.
We’re more than a radio station, though; we’re a family. You will find warm and welcoming people here and I know you’ll quickly feel at home. Don’t be shy about asking questions or offering suggestions. Remember that you ARE Canoe FM!
