Aboriginal Voices Radio (AVR) Network is a Canadian national radio network with licensed radio stations in 10 Canadian metropolitan areas as of May 2007 (Vancouver, Abbotsford, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, Ottawa, Kitchener, Toronto and Montreal). It airs programming produced primarily by and for Aboriginal people in Canada. It features music and personalities from around the world.
AVRN was founded in 1998 by a group of high-profile Aboriginal Canadians, including actor Gary Farmer, playwright, novelist and author Tomson Highway, filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin, and actress/producer Jennifer Podemski.
Other Founders and key contributors to creation of the network included: Christopher Spence and Andre Morriseau (Production and Programming), Mark MacLeod and John Matthews (Radio Licensing & Development), Robert Templeton and J. Robert Wood (Corporate Funding), Elaine Bomberry, David Deleary, Sherman Maness, Nicole Robertson, and Minnie Two Shoes.
AVR's first station, CFIE-FM in Toronto, was licensed by the CRTC in 2000. CFIE changed its callsign to CKAV in 2006.
The network's earliest and largest corporate sponsor is Newcap Broadcasting.
The network has faced technical and logistical problems which have prevented it from launching some of the licensed stations listed below but in the last year have moved forward with most of the approved licenses. For some of the stations, the network has applied to the CRTC for extensions five or six times as of the end of 2005.
