About TVC22

“A strong voice for the community”

Founded in 1990, TVC22 is the go-to community media outlet for the rural and semi-urban areas of Eastern Ontario. Over the years, our television station has evolved into a full multimedia platform: broadcasting, podcasts, audiovisual production, local journalism and educational programming.

A uniquely francophone pride

We are proud to be the only Francophone community radio station in a minority setting (outside Quebec) to be part of the Initiative de journalisme local (IJL). This recognition highlights our commitment to producing rigorous local journalism, promoting the Francophonie, and encouraging civic participation.

Mission and Vision

  • Mission : Strengthen regional community ties by promoting the value of diversity, equality and inclusivity in our programming and multimedia services toward sustainable development.
  • Overall vision: Inform, communicate, and broadly educate.

Our Core Values

All our actions are based on five pillars:

Community

We provide nonprofit public and educational access services, created by and for the community. We co-create physical and virtual labs dedicated to learning, innovation and well‑being, while sharing local knowledge and resources for the continuous improvement of our community.

Reliability

We are committed to providing reliable, rigorous information on health, safety and the environment, in both French and English. We also provide essential support for emergency services communications whenever possible.

Diversity

We ensure local experiences are reflected so diverse voices and opinions are seen and heard. Guided by our adoption of the Government of Canada’s 50-30 Challenge, we are continuously improving our gold-level assessment in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

Connectivity and Technology

We provide integrated access to information and communications technologies. To support regions outside major centres, we are co-developing an integrated multimedia distribution platform specifically designed for rural communities.

Civic engagement

Focused on localism and civic journalism, we actively participate in Canada’s Local Journalism Initiative program. We facilitate open, inspiring dialogues while promoting sustainable development through regeneration, integration, and collaboration.
