The Canadian Philosophy Show is a radio program and podcast that was founded as “Spring Forward” in 2017 by students at Vancouver Island University, Nanaimo, BC, in conjunction with CHLY c/c radio. It is currently produced by students from Vancouver Island University with participation from students at other Canadian universities, including Simon Fraser University.

The show explores issues of classical and modern philosophy, including contemporary scientific, political, and ethical issues.

Each year, CJSF partners with the Burnaby North Secondary School to provide Grade 11 and 12 students enrolled in the Music Production & Technology ACE-IT Industry Training Program job ready skills development and industry experience.  Due to COVID, the students learned to create podcasts in lieu of doing live radio. Tune in for a youth perspective as they share areas of interests and reflect on topics that affect them.
