This year, for Fundrive 2021 we’ve landed on a Housewarming theme. Help us celebrate our new space - home to the great community radio that you love!
In the days before central heating, when people moved into a new house, guests were invited to bring firewood and other gifts to help literally warm the space. Certain gifts for the home were thought to have special powers, often providing a newcomer’s place of residence with warmth, luck, and wonderful wishes.
CJSF’s home on the radio dial is more than a frequency - it represents a physical space for the community to create content and share stories that you will not find on mainstream radio. As of August 2021, CJSF has relocated our operations and broadcast studios into a new permanent home on SFU’s Burnaby campus.
Your previous support for CJSF during Fundrive paid for and made this move possible.
Your continued financial support during Fundrive allows us to remain a vibrant, independent and grassroots voice, and to warm our home both on campus and in our surrounding community. Our 4th annual fundraising campaign runs November 1st - 7th 2021, and our goal is to raise $12,000 in community donations. You can help by making a contribution in any amount. All funds raised go towards supporting the volunteer-driven, broadcasting and media-related activities of the station.
The easiest way to donate is by credit card through our secure online donation page:
If you prefer to donate by cheque, send us a cheque made out to CJSF Radio.

At CJSF, we strive to carve out space for our volunteers to find community, make new friends, and to find their niche.
Using those opportunities, though, in turn, Typically Tuesdays holds space for listeners to think about new ideas, to be creative, to explore and to make fun and play.
That's what CJSF has offered us
Home is where your heart is,” and my heart is with the music and the people of CJSF. My home at CJSF coincided with my landing in Canada as a permanent resident. You are sure to find some music you will love on CJSF... my radio home and my music home.
Donate to CJSF because we support local, up-and-coming and under-represented artists from Vancouver and around the world. We play what we want, when we want... to support CJSF is to support Freedom on the airwaves!
Thursdays 7-8pm; repeats Tuesdays 3-4pm
When I started at CJSF back in 2010 [at] Ryan Fletcher's show, I found that it was very nice that they had water provided, a little microwave, which was very interesting. It was almost like home, and I felt very much at home having all the comforts of home…
[My time at CJSF] was very special because Ryan Fletcher was instrumental in getting me up there and introduced me to radio back in 2010 on his show, Melodies in Mind… after working on the show for a few years, it really grew on me, the music, and just the talent that we have in Vancouver… I just loved the music. So it stuck with me, I went down the right road.
Fridays 7-9pm, in Russian; repeats Thursdays 7-9am
Home is where you are expected and where you want to come. CJSF is just such a place[,] that connects us with the home we left... because we are all on the same wavelength and understand each other.
Why should folks donate to CJSF?” Because it feels right. They know where it is going. They like the inclusive environment. It is useful to their neighbourhood. There are people on the shows that sound like they care about things. It is different from the other channels
Sundays 10-11am
Home is where people can speak their mind without fear of reprisals. In my show, musicians can speak from their heart in music..
People should donate to CJSF because it's where grassroots voices are featured while major media outlets are being more consolidated than ever via mergers and layoffs.
Sundays 2-4pm, in Italian
[CJSF] is the only radio station that brings the best music (at least my show!) and [where] persistent listeners will pay attention and donate generously! We should show passion to the programs when they go on air!
Since the mid-1960s, from the very beginnings of Simon Fraser University, we've been home to offbeat sounds played by all kinds of folks, on campus and beyond. After years of moving between various homes on the airwaves, we settled down in 2003 at 90.1 MHz on the FM dial (and at http://cjsf.ca on the Internet before that!)
But CJSF’s home on the radio dial is more than just a frequency - it represents a physical space for the community to create content and share stories that you will not find on mainstream radio. As of August 2021, CJSF has relocated our operations and broadcast studios into a new permanent home in the newly-completed Student Union Building on SFU’s Burnaby campus.
Help us warm our new digs with your financial contribution to CJSF 90.1 FM: Bring Your Own Donation to our 4th annual Fundrive today!
