The Marathon will provide an opportunity for homeless people & 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 nearly 40 radio stations. Listeners are invited to call-in with their questions or comments toll-free.

Come down for hot food and drinks and discussion all night long. Call in toll free from 5 AM to 6 AM (AST) to be aired live on the Maritime hour of the Marathon. The theme of our hour is "Homelessness in the Maritimes".
