We asked our team for their favourite holiday tunes to create a playlist and somehow it turned into this. 💃 Stream our Mitch Holiday Mix: bit.ly/4sbF0Yk. Check it out, turn it up, and feel free to steal our dance moves. #HappyHolidays #HolidayMusic #SpotifyPlaylist

Local media has been hit so badly that, technically, CFMU/The Silhouette is the largest newsroom in Hamilton. In a better world we'd have trained journalists and do more hard news (look for more of that, though, come September). WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT cfmu.ca/fundraising
