Hi CHMA’ers!

A big THANK YOU to all our lovely CHMA’ers who came by to support us at the Fall Fair Parade. Your cheers and smiling faces as we marched through the streets, was the highlight of our day! <3
September 30: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
September 30, 2024 is the fourth federal statutory holiday to honour residential and day school Survivors. The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR), APTN and CBC/Radio-Canada, in partnership with the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation, will be distributing to all broadcasters a 90-minute fully-bilingual LIVE broadcast event to mark the day. CHMA will be participating in the special broadcast, airing from 4-5:30pm AST. Listen to the broadcast by tuning in to 106.9FM or joining us online at chmafm.com.
They kindly request your participation in this broadcast to extend its reach and help make it as meaningful as possible. By doing so, you will be providing an opportunity for audiences to hear from Survivors, and helping to further reconciliation efforts.
The gathering will be broadcast live from Parliament Hill in Ottawa between 3:00pm-4:30pm Eastern Time on Monday, September 30. This is an opportunity to amplify the voices of survivors through the only live televised National event to commemorate this important day. Our broadcast pays tribute to the children who never made it home from residential schools and honours those who survived. This deeply-moving gathering will encompass sacred ceremony, powerful reflections from esteemed Elders and Survivors as well as moving performances from First Nations, Inuit and Métis artists.
The event itself is open to the public and will draw thousands of Canadians together in a gesture of healing.
