Here's how you can take part in CBC London's Sounds of the Season this year
CBC
Sounds of the Season is our annual holiday fundraiser in support of the London Food Bank. Our goal is to raise money, donations and awareness for those facing food insecurity in London.
According to Feed Ontario's 2022 Hunger Report, 587,103 people accessed food banks in Ontario between April 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022, visiting more than 4.3 million times. Ontario Food banks also saw a 47 per cent increase in number of visits over the last three years.
Throughout this month-long campaign, we take time to tell the stories of those in need in our community and highlight the people and organizations working to help those impacted by food insecurity.
Tune in to CBC London's on-air programs and digital sites during December to learn about food insecurity in London and how you can help make the season kind for our neighbours experiencing hunger.
In 2021, you helped us raise over $65,000. Thank you for your generous support of CBC Sounds of the Season!

P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
