And we go to Pontiac, Qu\u00e9bec where Dr. Maurice Lamarche, who has been working as a physician for more than 45 years, is hanging-up his white coat as one of the longest-serving members of the region\u2019s health care system.<\/p>\n<p>The epsiode features reporters Anastasia Avvakumova, Greg Osoba, Erica Butler and Caleb Nickerson and producer and host Boris Chassagne. <em>Viewpoints<\/em> is presented by the Community Radio Fund of Canada in collaboration with the NCRA and community and campus radio stations across Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Community Radio Fund of Canada is launching a new weekly radio series called Viewpoints.
