Immerse yourself in the magic of The Huron Carole, a musical journey curated on the ancestral lands of the Mi’kmaq people. Following its premiere on APTN, APTN Lumi and Eastlink in 2023, these same broadcasters, along with CTV2, proudly present encore presentations beginning December 20, 2024. This iconic variety concert, recorded at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium in Halifax, promises unique interpretations of seasonal classics from country to operatic, to innovative blends of traditional with contemporary.

Founder Tom Jackson, C.C., LL.D., takes the stage with an extraordinary 6 piece-band, featuring guest performances from Measha Brueggergosman-Lee, Shannon Gaye, Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy, Beverley Mahood, Loreena McKennitt, Andrea Menard, and PIQSIQ. Sing along with this exuberant audience vocally led by the Halifax Camerata Singers.

CTV/CW Network stars from Sullivan’s Crossing – Morgan Kohan, Chad Michael Murray and Scott Patterson – bring greetings and direct viewers on how to donate to the Canadian Red Cross.

“Producing The Huron Carole – Angels Without Wings - live at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium with broadcasters alongside, comes full circle from our first 1997 CBC-TV production at the same location. Along with the posterity, the show demonstrates our love for community, music, and action raising money for the Canadian Red Cross and their emergency management fund. The perfect storm of love!” says Jackson.

The ‘Angels Without Wings’ are bringing an evening of joy—and now, audiences and viewers can help make a life-saving difference. By supporting Emergency Management at the Canadian Red Cross, Canadians can play a critical role in protecting the country’s most vulnerable during times of crisis.

• Between April 2023 and March 2024, the Canadian Red Cross supported over 81,000 people across Canada in the aftermath of emergencies.
• During the same period, 50,500 essential relief items—including cots, blankets, teddy bears, hygiene kits, and more—were distributed to those in need post-disaster.
• The Government of Canada estimates that every dollar invested in pre-disaster preparedness and risk reduction saves up to $15 in post-disaster response and recovery costs.

By contributing to the Red Cross, audiences enable proactive measures before the next disaster occurs, increasing the organization's ability to respond effectively. Donations help train emergency management volunteers and pre-position vital supplies—such as clean-up kits, comfort kits, baby supplies, blankets, clothing, food, and water—across the country, ensuring faster and more efficient responses.

When disaster strikes, specially trained Red Cross Disaster Teams are on the ground immediately, providing critical relief and ongoing support to those affected. This includes not only meeting immediate needs but also assisting with long-term recovery from emotional and financial stress caused by evacuation and loss.

CRC is recognized, trusted, and for decades, has been at the forefront of Canada’s largest and most important emergency operations – from the evacuation of entire communities due to floods and wildfires, to major industrial disasters.

Most Canadians never expect a disaster to happen to them.
