TORONTO — In response to the tragic events in Nova Scotia this past weekend, CBC will provide a national television and streaming broadcast of the Nova Scotia Remembers community vigil this Friday.
The virtual vigil will be broadcast on Friday, April 24 at 6 p.m. ET (7 p.m. AT, 7:30 p.m. NT) on CBC News Network, CBC Gem, cbcnews.ca and the CBC News app, as well as CBC TV and CBC Radio in Nova Scotia, P.E.I., New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
The CBC News special will be hosted on TV and streaming platforms by CBC Nova Scotia’s Tom Murphy, and on radio by CBC Nova Scotia’s Jeff Douglas.
The locally organized virtual vigil will pay tribute to the victims of the shooting rampage and offer support to affected families, including musical tributes and messages of support and hope from dignitaries and notable figures who have a special connection to Nova Scotia, says the news release.
