NL Deaf Choir: Documentary and Panel Discussion


Date: Sep 25
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Where: Theatre

In 2019, an awareness campaign was launched to help hearing communities learn more about Deaf culture. This campaign ignited a passion within our Deaf community for promoting language and culture rights, and it gave rise to the formation of the NL Deaf Choir.

Please join us for a short documentary that shares our Deaf community’s journey from campaign to choir, and most importantly, to the transformation within our collective communities that is making space for our silent minority in song.

The documentary will be followed by a panel discussion with members of the NL Deaf Choir as they share their experiences.

This is a free event, but a ticket is required. Please reserve your free ticket online or by calling (709)757-8090.

Join hosts, Paula Gale and Todd O’Brien for a special live audience radio event celebrating 75 years of The Broadcast — the longest-running daily radio show in Canada.

Former hosts, including Jim Wellman and Jim Winter, along with special guests will join to reflect on the program’s remarkable history, deep connection to audiences across Newfoundland and Labrador, and the evolution from a show about fisheries to one that also explores ocean health and the culture of the people who live and work alongside it.

This milestone anniversary episode is a rare opportunity to experience The Broadcast behind the scenes and be part of a historic moment in Canadian radio. This event will be recorded and made available for broadcast later.

Special musical performances will be provided by Jim Payne and Fergus O’Byrne.
