Where Can Keep Seeing U Multicultural's Content?

Many Canadians have begun to see Canadian news content blocked by Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, and Google. Content from U Multicultural is now blocked for some users. The social media and tech giants are blocking access to Canadian news content in response to the federal government's Online News Act, Bill C-18, requiring tech companies to pay Canadian media for linking to or repurposing content online.

Watch We Stand Together

Over 130 residential schools operated in Canada. The first federal residential school began around 1883; the last closed in 1996.

We Stand Together invites residential school and day schools, 60’s Scoop, and intergenerational survivors to share their truth. This project is an opportunity for those on their journeys of healing to share their experiences and perspectives so all can learn about the effects of these systems and the challenges Indigenous communities still face.

U Talk S2E151: Christmas Cheer Board

According to Statistics Canada’s Canadian Income Survey from 2021, 5.8 million Canadians, including 1.4 million children, were food insecure. Taking a closer look at home, last year, the Winnipeg Christmas Cheer Board handed out over 18,000 Christmas hampers, and the need is growing.

We’ve all felt the pinch of food costs and inflation, so this holiday season❄️, it’s more important than ever to support our communities, and we have Shawna Bell from The Christmas Cheer Board of Winnipeg to let us know how we can help.
