For financial support in these difficult times, our performers will share donation information and links - virtual "tip jar"- during the live show and it will be posted with the video. These 'pay what you can' shows offers patrons the flexibility to donate anytime. By adding this virtual tip jar it will be easy for anyone to support at anytime.
After the live stream, Home Routes will post the National On-line Folk Festival concerts on our youtube channel. Donations can be made anytime to Home Routes / Chemin Chez Nous at our patreon page.
Having to cancel the balance of Home Routes’ Season 13 tours due to COVID-19 left their artists, hosts and patrons wondering what they could do to continue our support of the artists, while keeping the commitment to entertaining patrons, so they decided to host the artists digitally. This shift to hosting online allows Home Routes to present entertainment to an even larger audience, and not have to cancel any shows.
“To support artists and bring fresh entertainment to folks during this time was an obvious win/win, and doing live streaming concerts has been something we have been talking about for a while, so we decided that this was the perfect time to launch it,”
Home Routes has been pairing artists with rural and urban hosts throughout Canada for more than a decade, presenting more than 7000 performances at nearly 1500 locations before 207,000 fans to date, generating more than four million dollars in artist revenue and royalties since its beginnings in 2007.
Initiated by the founders of the Winnipeg Folk Festival and the West End Cultural Centre, Mitch Podolak and Ava Kobrinsky, in collaboration with Tim Osmond and with the support of a nationally based volunteer Board of Directors, Home Routes was incorporated as a not-for-profit arts organization in February of 2007 to create new performance opportunities for French and English speaking musicians and audiences in rural, remote, and urban communities across Canada, hosted by volunteers in their homes and other community venues.
Since its inception in 2007, Home Routes/Chemin Chez Nous has received consistent funding from the Canada Council for the Arts, Manitoba Sport, Culture and Heritage, FACTOR, Manitoba Arts Council, and SOCAN Foundation for which we are eternally grateful. Without this support this wonderful project would not be possible.

Important COVID-19 Info from the College of Pharmacists BC
The College of Pharmacists and the Ministry of Health have just announced new measures in regards to medication refills during the COVID-19 pandemic. The highlights are summarized below.
Patients who require a refill of their regular medications do not need to visit a doctor or nurse practitioner for an updated prescription.
Instead, a pharmacist can provide patients with a refill or emergency supply of their medications. This also includes controlled drugs and substances such as opioid agonist therapy.
Important things to note:
Do not stockpile medications. You do not need more than a month’s supply. This is harmful to the drug supply and could put others at risk.
Do not visit a pharmacy in-person if: you are experiencing symptoms or are self-isolating
As always, talk with your pharmacist regarding what is best for your situation
For more information and updates you can visit bcpharmacists.org/COVID19
The official release from the College can be read below:
Stay safe everyone.
CD Sale Cancelled, Showcase @ Legion Cancelled, Radio Bingo Still On...
There may be little, to NO, aspects of our lives unaffected by the COVID 19 outbreak before all of this is said and done. We can pull though this together. Please treat one another with mutual respect, and practice careful hygiene at the same time.
This event is still on :) ….
Yes the Radiothon is hosted on the Radio, and is therefore somewhat insulated from all the happenings, but only somewhat. Some of our hosts do not have a safe method of coming form and to the station, the environment some have to pass through in order to arrive at the station may be unsafe. The campus itself may be unsafe at times. It’s all hard to say. Between that and some of the gatherings we had planned for the week, the Radiothon is looking a little different now than when it was being planned several weeks ago. It carries on, as we feel that campus-commuinity radio plays an important role in our community, and in times such as this. If you feel the same way, please support us by donating what you can at www.cfur.ca/radiothon
We have had to pull the plug a few of our events, both in and out of our studio. The Two major events that you would be most likely be affected by are the CD sale and the CFURadiothon Wrap-Up Showcase Party. They are cancelled, we are so sorry, but we feel it is safest decision to make in light of current events regarding the COVID 19 outbreak.
Something you CAN still participate in, from the comfort of your bedroom, car, or parkbench is CFURadiobingo!
Check it out, it will be lots of fun, and you can win $100 ;) how cool!
