Canada for Haiti Special

Canada's television networks have united in their support for Haiti as it struggles under the crippling devastation of last week's earthquake. CBC Television, CTV and Global Television will be collaborating to produce CANADA FOR HAITI,a one-hour, commercial-free special for Haitian relief. We will also be simulcasting HOPE FOR HAITI NOW, broadcasting live on Friday, January 22. Programming begins at 7 p.m. PT, CT, and ET; 8 p.m. MT and AT; and 8:30 NT.

Co-hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos, Canada for Haiti will feature exclusive Canadian content, exploring our country’s close relationship with Haiti in this time of need, and performances from top Canadian musicians.

Donations will be accepted during the broadcast and will go towards a coalition of Canadian NGOs, including Canadian Red Cross Society, Care Canada, Free the Children, Oxfam Canada, Oxfam Quebec, Plan Canada, Save the Children Canada, UNICEF Canada and World Vision Canada.

Hosted by George Clooney in Los Angeles, Haitian-born Wyclef Jean in New York City and CNN's Anderson Cooper in Haiti, HOPE FOR HAITI NOW will feature a star-studded line-up of musical performances and celebrity appearances in support of Haiti relief.
