Golden Co-op Radio is volunteer-powered community radio for the town of Golden, British Columbia. Since 2022, a small but resourceful group of volunteers have worked hard to build a radio station from scratch. Its mission: to provide a variety of local content and act as a source of information during emergency situations. Golden Co-op Radio has blossomed into a community hub with a growing number of volunteers and members.
The group chose the co-op model to establish the station as a way of involving the community in governance, decision-making, and a sense of ownership. Its members are the people of Golden, the surrounding area and even further afield, who want to see community radio thrive. Golden Co-op Radio offers a platform for a diversity of music and content, selected and curated by local volunteer hosts, and the opportunity for members to have their say in the future of community radio in Golden.
