The Newcomer Radio Group is a project of the New Canadians Centre in partnership with Trent Radio. The goal is to support newcomers in Peterborough with skills and opportunities to tell their stories on their own terms. In doing so, we hope to help diversify voices and perspectives in local media and arts.

Participants are offered 6-weeks of training in storytelling and audio/radio production and an opportunity to share their stories on-air and through a podcast.

The group was launched in February 2021 with 4 participants. Following the success of that group, another group began in May 2021 with 6 participants.
