About CJLY Kootenay Co-op Radio

CJLY Kootenay Co-op Radio is Nelson’s listener-supported community station, created and sustained by volunteers. Programming spans eclectic music, spoken-word shows, arts coverage, and conversations about local issues, with regular updates on events, weather, and matters that affect daily life in the Kootenays. The station amplifies independent voices, highlights cultural activity, and reflects the character of its mountain town.

Aimed at engaged residents seeking depth and discovery, CJLY offers shows that celebrate regional artists, spotlight small businesses and nonprofits, and explore civic topics with care. Training and open access invite new hosts to learn and contribute. With its online stream, the station keeps Nelson’s creative energy within reach for commuting, working, or winding down at home, connecting neighbors through shared stories and music.
