onecrazycanadian: Hi,

The low health score on this cache has remained below 60 since our last contact. I see no sign of any maintenance being done to correct this and I have had no response from the owner since my last contact. Due to the lack of response I have no idea if any corrective action has been taken. Consequently I am archiving the cache at this time. Under directions from HQ, if the cache was archived for maintenance issues, it will not be unarchived. If you wish to replace it you will have to do so with a new listing.

Thanks

RADIO-CANADA SASKATCHEWAN - CANADA150

The Société Radio-Canada/Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was created in 1936. In 1939, CBK Watrous opened, a CBC/Radio-Canada station whose broadcasts were to include French-language programming for the West. In 1951, Radio-Canada governors granted licences for the construction of two private French-language stations in Saskatchewan, CFNS in Saskatoon and CFRG in Gravelbourg. These were later sold to the Société Radio-Canada, in 1973.

Radio-Canada Saskatchewan French television began broadcasting officially in 1976. Seven years later, the Maison de Radio-Canada/CBC Building was officially opened at 2440 Broad Street, its current location.

The mission of Radio-Canada is to be the national public broadcaster of the Canadian people and to offer varied program on all its platforms: radio, television, the web, and social media. Radio-Canada Saskatchewan is proud and happy to have a geocache in Regina and to contribute in this way to the celebrations marking Canada's 150th birthday.

C’est en 1936 que la Société Radio-Canada est créée, et c’est en 1939 qu’à lieu l’ouverture de CBK Watrous, poste de Radio-Canada qui doit diffuser des émissions en français dans l’Ouest. En 1951, les gouverneurs accordent deux permis à la Saskatchewan pour la construction du poste CFNS et CFRG, dont ces derniers seront vendus à la Société Radio-Canada en 1973.

C’est en 1976 que l’ouverture officielle de la télévision française de Radio-Canada en Saskatchewan a lieu. Sept ans plus tard, la maison de Radio-Canada est inaugurée à l’automne 1983, situé au 2440 rue Broad, qui est d’ailleurs toujours son lieu actuel.

La mission de Radio-Canada est d’être un diffuseur public national desservant l’ensemble de la population canadienne, afin d’offrir une programmation variée sur toutes ses plateformes : radio, télé, web et réseaux sociaux. C’est donc avec fierté et plaisir que Radio-Canada Saskatchewan est heureuse d’avoir une géocache à Regina, contribuant aux célébrations soulignant le 150^e anniversaire du Canada.
