• E-mail or write to the people listed here.
• Call the Thunder Bay bureau and leaving messages about your discontent (that way they can start airing them, the more the better)
• Sign the petition that is going around, and then forward it to your friends
• Sign the postcards that are circulating and mail them. The more the better.
• Make signs and post them outside your house (We need to give it as much exposure as possible)
• If you are part of an organization - school council, scouts, church group, etc. Ask them to pass the word.
E-mail us any other ideas...

CBC Thunder Bay was recently warned of deep, hard cuts to its programming and staff.
Up to half the people who work at the station are expected to be laid
off over the coming weeks.
Despite the fact that the Federal Government is spending billions of dollars
to "stimulate" the economy, the CBC as a whole has recieved no extra money
to help it through these tough economic times.

Even bridge financing (an advanced loan of money already promised) has been refused.
This has forced the hand of the CBC to cut the jobs of 800 hard-working Canadians.
CBC management has decided to reduce staff and programming based on a model of proportional representation.
This means the people who need the CBC most, the people who live outside the Toronto's, Montreal's and
Vancouver's of this country, are the ones who will suffer the most.
CBC Thunder Bay serves all of NorthWestern Ontario, an area roughly the
same size as France. With just over a dozen people, the staff at the
station manage to tell the important, relevant, and engaging stories of
the region to the whole country.
Please support our effort in keeping representation of Northern Ontario
in the national media alive.
Please contact you Member of Parliament to tell them how you feel.

Contacting Government will help get the message across, but you can
also contact the bureaucrats making the decisions on the cuts. Richard
Stursberg is the VP of operations for the English CBC, Susan Rogers is
the manager in charge of the Thunder Bay station, and Susan Marjetti is
her boss, who looks after stations across Ontario.
Give them a call and tell them what you think of their decisions!
