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.
The program's expert, who is also the author of a fishing law book, has been encouraged to translate and publish his book in Vancouver. The airing of this program highlighted how many in the Persian-speaking community are interested in fishing but are unaware of the details, and sometimes face fines due to unintentional mistakes.

A propos l’IJL
LJI Impact is the section of commediaportal.ca where the journalists and their organizations participating in CACTUS' Local Journalism Initiative can share their greatest successes.
Through the written stories, photos and videos you see in the LJI Impact section, you'll be able to read first hand accounts about how the presence of a community journalist is making a difference in communities across Canada through the Local Journalism Initiative and the Community Media Portal.
The Community Media Portal is a gateway to the audio-visual media created by community media centres across Canada. These include traditional community TV and radio stations, as well as online and new media production centres.
Community media are not-for-profit production hubs owned and operated by the communities they serve, established both to provide local content and reflection for their communities, as well as media training and access for ordinary citizens to the latest tools of media production, whether traditional TV and radio, social and online media, virtual reality, augmented reality or video games.
The Community Media Portal has been funded by the Local Journalism Initiative (the LJI) of the Department of Canadian Heritage, and administered by the Canadian Association of Community Television Users and Stations (CACTUS) in association with the Fédération des télévisions communautaires autonomes du Québec (the Fédération). Under the LJI, over 100 journalists have been placed in underserved communities and asked to produce civic content that underpins Canadian democratic life.
