Rudy Desjardins is not a household name from coast to coast in Canada, in either English or French. Neither is Marie-Christine Gagnon or Susan Campbell. But in Alberta, Manitoba and small communities across Quebec, they are critical to the vitality of the audiences they serve. They are familiar daily voices for families in communities that rarely hear their language spoken in public. In addition to their jobs as radio and television hosts, they appear regularly at community festivals and preside over the annual meetings of local organizations. They are local heroes: crucial players in the French-speaking and English-speaking communities of Canada.
