** What is
the Homelessness Marathon?
Every year, the Homeless Marathon serves up 14 hours
of people-powered radio, broadcasted on nearly 40 radio
stations across Canada. With the goal of being a
consciousness-raising
event, the Marathon will provide an opportunity for
homeless people and their allies to take to the airwaves,
and allow a nationwide discussion on homelessness issues
and possible solutions.
35 stations carrying the marathon from coast to coast to
coast! To find the station nearest you broadcasting
the marathon, visit:

Some highlights for this year include:
** Open mic hour from midnight-1am (call in with your
questions, comments, and rants, or bring an instrument down
to the centre and play a song) -
1-866-594-7729
** Other hourly topics and panels on gender and access to
housing, police repression and the law, art in the streets,
migration and housing, and more!
** Segments of the marathon also being hosted live from the
streets of Halifax by CKDU radio, and the streets of
Vancouver by CJSF radio!
