KAMLOOPS — Wednesday, June 30 will be a unique opportunity for listeners of B100 and 98.3 CIFM to learn of Indigenous history.

Broadcasting on the final day of National Indigenous History Month in Canada, “A Day to Listen” will share stories from Indigenous leaders, elders, and residential school survivors. The stories are meant to create a better understanding of Canada’s history as a nation and open the door to improving the process of reconciliation.

Two vignettes, up to five minutes each, will air every hour from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
