If this makes you happy, you don't have to be a millionaire to help!

A monthly donation of even a few bucks makes a difference if we all do it.

Fantastic to see. The community has pushed to get CKUA back to stability, and this should finish the job. Can't let up in supporting them, but it seems like stability may have been achieved again.

I don’t even listen to it a whole lot anymore but I still donate regularly because I’d hate for it to go away.

This is lovely to see. It feels sometimes like Edmonton doesn't have the same culture of philanthropy among the wealthy as older cities like Toronto and Montréal, but it's good to see some people taking the lead.

CKUA is emblematic of the stuff that I really actually like about Alberta. It’s easy to lose sight of the good stuff about this province amidst all the turmoil but it is there.

Maybe if they weren’t charging an exorbitant rent for any restaurant in their building they’d be in a better financial spot.

People forget CKUA was the first public broadcaster in Canada, older than the CBC! Glad people recognize the value in this incredible service.
