Radio Sidney Station Manager Bill Collins wins prestigious national award

Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada, offered her congratulations and best wishes to Bill Collins, the Station Manager at Radio Sidney. Mr. Collins was awarded the prestigious National Campus and Community Radio Association 2024 Game Changer Award for his leadership and community service.

“Congratulations to Radio Sidney’s Station Manager, Bill Collins, for receiving the National Campus and Community Radio Association 2024 Game Changer Award! This award is given to community leaders who change the game for their own station and others. Bill came to Parliament last fall to serve as a witness at CRTC hearings on the updated broadcasting act. I would also like to join Bill in thanking the Town of Sidney for granting Radio Sidney rezoning to allow broadcasting in Sidney (which had not been allowed previously!), and the folks at the Mary Winspear Centre which is now the new home of Radio Sidney!

Congratulations Bill! We are so proud of you! You can listen to my radio appearance congratulating Bill for his achievement here, starting at 3:29.”
