Subject: Remembering Radio Project, York University

Good afternoon,

My name is Cassandra and I am a research assistant writing on behalf of Professor Anne MacLennan of York University. She is currently conducting a study on Canadian Radio in the 1930s through a Canadian government sponsored research grant. We are searching for participants who are 78 andolder, and would be interested in speaking to us about their memories andstories about the radio.

I understand that aside from shortwave radio and two-way HF, radio was limited during the 1930s but our questions would focus on how the development of the radio changed (or didn't) the lives of those living there.

The reason why I'm contacting you is to see if you may be able to assist us within Northwest Territories. As this is a national study, we are continuing to look out for a larger representative number from seniors living in the area.

This email should outline everything about the Remembering Radio project. We’ve attached a bulletin to this email that outlines the project and contains our contact information if you would like to display it on a bulletin board.

If anyone is interested in participating, feel free to contact any of the team members listed on the webpage.  If you can place us in touch with resident members, please send us their contact information.

For more information, please visit our website at rememberingradio.yorku.ca

Thank you very much for your time and consideration, we really appreciate it.

Best,
Cassandra
