The Canadian Society For Independent Radio Production serves the needs of radio producers and sound artists in Canada, both professional and amateur. CSIRP began as an informal grouping of radio producers and audio artists in the autumn of 1997, became a structured organization in 1998 and was federally chartered in the spring of 1999.
CSIRP believes that sound producers of all kinds need their own organization to help them develop their craft. Our members work from coast to coast in campus/community radio, private radio, at the CBC, and as freelance producers and sound artists. Some are paid professionals, others are volunteers.
CSIRP's mandate is:
- to encourage and develop high quality radio and audio productions in Canada;
- to provide training and education in all aspects of the radio and audio arts;
- to facilitate the production of new educational and artistic works for radio and other forms of electronic sound media;
- to encourage Canadians to recognize and explore Canada's rich radio heritage.
We host workshops and conferences; encourage information sharing; and provide training for newcomers and professionals alike. We also produce a radio production magazine, "Wavelength". CSIRP also initiates or supports projects which enable us to meet these goals.
