WHAT IS THE HOMELESSNESS MARATHON?

The eighth annual Homelessness Marathon will once again serve up 14 hours of people-powered radio, broadcasting this year from multiple cities
across Canada. With the goal of being a consciousness-raising event, the Marathon will provide an opportunity for homeless people and their allies
to take to the airwaves, and allow a nationwide discussion on homelessness issues and possible solutions.

The Homelessness Marathon is annually carried by 40 campus, community and native radio stations. Listeners are invited to call-in with their
questions or comments toll-free: 1-866-594-7729
