The holiday spirit of giving is set to shine brightly in Northern Ontario this weekend with the return of a beloved annual tradition. The 77th CTV Lions Children's Christmas Telethon is scheduled for Saturday, December 6, 2025, with a ambitious fundraising goal of $325,000 to support children in the region.
A Legacy of Giving Continues
This long-running telethon represents one of the most enduring charitable events in the area, bringing the community together for nearly eight decades. The funds raised directly benefit local children's programs, services, and initiatives, ensuring the holidays and the year ahead are brighter for young people in need. The broadcast will feature a mix of local talent, heartfelt stories, and community highlights, all centered on the mission of helping kids.
How and When to Tune In
Viewers across Northern Ontario can watch the telethon live on CTV this Saturday. The broadcast is a cornerstone of the local holiday season, offering families a chance to participate in a collective act of generosity. In a related festive event, the community is also invited to a 'CTV Night' at the Sudbury Wolves game, further blending sports enthusiasm with charitable support.
Adding to the spectacle, local artists have contributed their skills by creating a giant custom backdrop for the telethon set, showcasing community artistry and dedication to the cause. This visual centerpiece symbolizes the collective effort behind the fundraiser.

The success of the telethon hinges entirely on community support. Residents are encouraged to mark their calendars for Saturday, watch the broadcast, and consider donating to help reach the $325,000 target. Every contribution, large or small, helps sustain the vital programs that make a difference in children's lives throughout Northern Ontario. This event is more than just a fundraiser; it's a testament to the region's commitment to its youngest citizens during the holiday season and beyond.
