The spirit of giving was evident this year as VOCM Cares launched into the holiday season with its annual ‘Dial-a-Carol’ on 590 VOCM.

Over the course of Sunday, the phone lines were filled by people looking to share their favourite Christmas carols and to pledge support for the CNIB Foundation. The CNIB indicates that the pandemic has intensified the isolation felt by many of those with sight loss—which has increased demand for the resources they offer.

By the time it came to an end, the event raised about $12,800 to help people living with vision impairment in our communities.

The holiday spirit continues through the month of December with Christmas classics and new favourites on-air and online at VOCM.com.
