SRS will not broadcast any material that promotes hatred, discrimination or contempt against an individual or a group or class of individuals on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, mental or physical ability or gender orientation. SRS will only air such material within the context of a larger issue, and only when its use is necessary to the listening public's understanding of that issue. 

SRS is not a vehicle for promoting political or religious ideologies. Therefore SRS will not grant airtime to be used for the purpose of promoting such ideologies.

SRS will present programming emphasizing local and regional content. 

SRS will air material in a comprehensive, balanced, articulate context, while actively promoting viewpoints complementary to those that may not be heard elsewhere.

SRS will actively recruit volunteers through a network of local community groups representing people of all races, national or ethnic origins, colours, religions, ages, mental or physical abilities and gender orientations. SRS will publicize all personnel openings through a network of local community groups representing people of all races, national or ethnic origins, colours, religions, ages, mental or physical abilities and gender orientations.
