About A Day To Listen

On September 30, in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF) is proud to partner once again with major media outlets and radio stations in Canada for A DAY TO LISTEN. This year’s theme is The Path Here, The Path Ahead It’s been a decade since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its Final Report and 94 Calls to Action, challenging all of us—Indigenous and non-Indigenous—to confront the past and work toward a better future. This A DAY TO LISTEN, we reflect on 10 years of reconciliation with special guests who will share powerful insights on what brought us to this moment and where we can go from here.
