CBC Thunder Bay flying high with Sounds of the Season

CBC Thunder Bay is once again reaching for the sky with its annual Sounds of the Season fundraiser, collecting food through the Regional Food Distribution Association, to deliver to communities in the far north. 

This year CBC Thunder Bay is going even bigger than last year. Morning host Lisa Laco will be on the main floor at the Thunder Bay International Airport for LIVE broadcasts throughout the day.

  • 6:00 - 8:30 a.m. for Superior Morning

  • 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. for Up North

We will be loading three planes with food, to be flown to six northern communities: Neskantaga, Sandy Lake, Sachigo Lake, Weagamow (North Caribou Lake), Marten Falls and Kasabonika.

The Thunder Bay International Airport is helping with the effort, while Wasaya Airways, North Star Air and Perimeter Aviation are generously supplying the planes. 

But we still need your help to fill these planes up with food.
