Thank you Development Canada for supporting partners of the Sudan regional refugee response. It will help address critical needs for women & children who are bearing the brunt of this brutal conflict, along with their host communities.

It’s so great to hear the banter between Joanne Vrakas and Elias Makos again. It brings back very fond memories of our time together at Breakfast Television Montreal. CJAD listeners will be in good hands on weekend mornings. Welcome back Joanne!
