Blackburn Media Inc. is proud to once again participate in A DAY TO LISTEN 2024 in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, in partnership with the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF)
We hope you join us on September 30th.
This year’s theme is All My Relations, which is a term used by Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island to express that everything is interconnected. Humans, animals, insects, plants, and inanimate objects are all related. We are connected through ancestors, land, communities, air, water – everything.
A DAY TO LISTEN uses the power of local radio to inspire people throughout Canada to move reconciliation forward in meaningful ways. Radio stations throughout Canada will come together September 30th to amplify Indigenous voices.

- Indigenous Comedy as culture and healing.
- Merging Traditional and Contemporary fashion.
- The challenges of Healthcare in the north and beyond.
- Is Reconciliation recolonization? An update on the status of Reconciliation in Canada and how we move forward.
