CBC London's Holiday Edition: Give and sing with The Pairs

CBC London’s annual fundraiser, Make the Season Kind, is back and you’re invited.

Raise your voice for a good cause at a special evening. Come sing with the Pairs and support your community.

Date: Dec. 11
Time: Event begins at 7 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m.
Location: St. Paul’s Cathedral, 472 Richmond St., London

We’re teaming up with the Pairs for an evening of singing and good conversation. The London trio is inviting you to a community singing lesson inside the acoustically pleasing St. Paul’s Cathedral.

CBC London hosts Andrew Brown and Matt Allen will be there to lead a few discussions between songs with Londoners who understand what food insecurity means.

Leave an uplifting message for a community member at our Kindness Exchange, and take home a limited-edition CBC ornament to keep or gift to someone special. You can also pick up a limited-edition Make the Season Kind tuque on-site for $20 (while supplies last). Proceeds support the London Food Bank.

Tickets will be released here on Nov. 25, 2025, at 8 a.m. Be sure to get yours before they run out.

Seating is first come, first served. Admission is free, but if you’d like to give to your local food bank, the London Food Bank will be on-site accepting non-perishable food items, cash and electronic donations.

According to Feed Ontario, food bank use continues to rise across the province. Between 2023 and 2024, more than 1 million Ontarians, or one in 16 people, turned to a food bank for support. It marks the eighth straight year that demand has increased. In London alone, 12,000 households relied on the food bank in 2025, and children accounted for 40 per cent of those served.

Help us make the season kind. For more information, including how to give in your community, visit cbc.ca/kind or call 1-866-416-KIND (5463).
