Personal Information

Full Name: Peter Driftmier
City or Community: Vancouver (Coast Salish Territory)
About: I am a food justice community organizer in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. I have been making community radio since 2009 with Redeye on Vancouver Co-op Radio. When I'm not doing either of the above, I'm doing housework.
Web site: http://www.vcn.bc.ca/redeye/
How did you learn about the media co-op?: I had found a special edition of The Dominion about the Tar Sands when I was younger, living in Calgary. It spoke to all the issues that determined the equity and livability in our province that the media wasn't telling discussing, and I've been a supporter ever since.
