Watch & Give: Canada For Haiti
The objective of the tonight's Canada for Haiti special is to appeal to viewers to support relief
efforts in Haiti, as the people there struggle to recover from the
devastating earthquake that struck last week. For most of us, that
comes down to donating money - however much we can, even if it's a little.
The reports from Haiti I'm seeing tell tales of people still trapped under collapsed buildings and children having their limbs amputated because infections are not being treated early enough. More help is desperately needed and it will be for a while to come. If you, like me, are blessed enough to be here and safe and able to give, then please watch and do so.
More about the show:
K'Naan, The Tragically Hip, Pamela Anderson, Justin Bieber, Sarah McLachlan, Céline Dion, Barenaked Ladies, Jason Reitman and Prime Minister Stephen Harper are among the many celebrities scheduled to make an appearance in this one-hour, commercial-free special presented by CBC Television, CTV and Global Television and co-hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos, Ben Mulroney and Cheryl Hickey, which will broadcast live from CBC headquarters in Toronto.
