In recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Air 106.1 FM will join media outlets across Canada on Tuesday, September 30, for A Day to Listen 2025. The national radio initiative, led by the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF), brings together more than 540 stations across the country to broadcast Indigenous voices, stories, and conversations — amplifying perspectives that are vital to the reconciliation journey. The power of radio and reconciliACTION Now in its fifth year, A Day to Listen first launched in 2021 in response to the confirmation of 215 unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Residential School. It has since become a platform for education, awareness and connection, leveraging the reach of radio to inspire meaningful action. This year’s theme, “The Path Here, The Path Ahead,” marks a decade since the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s final report and its 94 Calls to Action. The 2025 broadcast reflects on the progress made — and the work still to come — by featuring stories from Indigenous voices across the country. From 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time, listeners will hear from changemakers, storytellers, and thought leaders exploring what reconciliation has meant over the past decade and what steps are needed next to advance healing and understanding. Guiding this year’s broadcast are three Indigenous voices: January Rogers, a Mohawk/Tuscarora writer and media producer; Kiefer Collison, a broadcaster from Old Massett, Haida Gwaii; and William Prince, a two-time JUNO Award-winning singer-songwriter from Peguis First Nation. Their stories and interviews will provide reflections and perspectives throughout the day.
