Exploring Fisheries in BC: An In-Depth Interview with a Local Specialist

In the Farsi-speaking community, due to an interest in nature and hunting, the biggest issue is the lack of familiarity with hunting laws and the significant differences between the laws in Iran and Canada.

A fisherman might think he can fish in any lake and is unaware of the laws in BC. In this program, a sports coach thoroughly explains this matter. Broadcasting this program has familiarized newcomers with the hunting laws in Vancouver, and we have received several calls to answer their questions.

Creating Safe Spaces: Discussion on Sexual Violence in Diverse Groups

Violence against women and the LGBTQ community is often a taboo subject in Farsi-speaking communities. We hosted an open discussion seminar where audience members actively participated in conversations about the violence women face and the challenges confronting the LGBTQ community within our community.

The outcome was very positive, and we received numerous favorable comments. Most of viewers specifically emphasized the importance of continuing such programs, highlighting the need to address these taboo topics more openly among Farsi-speaking people.
