CBC Toronto's Make the Season Kind raising money for local food banks
CBC Toronto is throwing a party Friday morning to celebrate the holiday season and raise money for food banks across the Greater Toronto Area. Make the Season Kind is our special day of live broadcasting and welcoming the audience down to the broadcast centre. David Common and the Metro Morning team will take the Glenn Gould Studio alongside a number of fabulous musical guests, including: William Prince, Zenesoul, Peter Dreams and Katie Tupper. Tickets for Metro Morning 's show are sold out, but you can watch live in the player above from 6 to 8:30 a.m. ET or head on down to the broadcasting centre and watch in our building's atrium, where there's plenty going on — and yes, some coffee and treats. All of Friday's programming is being done for one goal: to raise money for local food banks at a time when the need is greater than ever. CBC News has reported extensively on food insecurity in the region and the challenges food banks face in feeding tens of thousands of people. So far, we've raised about $75,000 and we're looking forward to seeing that tally go up as the day goes on. Of course, you're also welcome to bring some non-perishable food items. Later in the day, we've got more live specials. You can meet some of your favourite CBC TV and Radio hosts from 8:30-9 a.m. Later, catch Laugh Out Loud, featuring comedians Ali Hassan, Martha Chaves and Ryan Dillon. At noon, Mattea Roach will be doing a live version of Bookends. And at 3 p.m. Here and Now, hosted by Ramraajh Sharvendiran, rounds out the day with more beautiful music from Anjulie, The Free Label and AHI.
