THE HOMELESSNESS MARATHON

CKUT 90.3 FM RADIO MCGILL and LE GROUPE COMMUNAUTAIRE L'ITINERAIRE to host Canada's second Homelessness Marathon.

February 12th to 13th, 2004

Ending homelessness isn't a matter of charity but a matter of changing the way our society is structured. Homelessness Marathon founder Jeremy Weir Alderson, of WEOS Radio in Geneva, N.Y.

This year's Homelessness Marathon will broadcast live on CKUT 90.3fm from the streets of Montréal on Thursday, February 12th, starting at sunset and running all night long until sunrise on Friday, February 13th. With the goal of being a consciousness-raising event, this Marathon will provide an opportunity for homeless people and their supporters to take to the airwaves, and allow a nationwide discussion on homelessness issues and possible solutions.

Reaching out to every Canadian, the audio for the Homelessness Marathon is available for free to all non-commercial broadcasters via the Internet. Last year, nearly twenty stations carried the Homelessness Marathon. The participation of community radio stations from across Canada is vital for the Marathon to achieve its goals. Thus this year, nearly thirty stations have stepped up to carry the marathon.
