3. OUTFRONT:

In China, there is a saying: "the moonlight is brighter in
your hometown". That didn't stop Violet Zhang from coming to
Canada to get a master's degree and, she hoped, a brighter
future. But things were tougher than she expected, and if it
hadn't been for the surprise intervention of the "great
power blackout" last August, she would have given up and
gone back to Beijing. Hear her story on OutFront, this
morning at 11:45 (12:15 NT) on CBC Radio One.

8. CANADA DAY CONCERT LIVE FROM THE STEVESTON SALMON
FESTIVAL:

Once a year, the charming BC village of Steveston shuts down
its main drag to host a Canada Day party where thousands
gather to eat barbecued wild salmon and to listen to great
music. On Canada Day, join CBC Radio host Rick Cluff and
co-host Margaret Gallagher as they reflect on Steveston's
colourful history through salmon-coloured glasses. You'll
also enjoy the compelling drumming of Uzume Taiko, the
poignant songwriting of Tim Readman, and the feel-good,
rootsy beat of Cleia. Catch it all, Canada Day at 4 p.m.
(4:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

9. CONNECTIONS:

Emma McCune was a young British aid worker who went to Sudan
to help. Instead she lost her heart to a warlord and joined
his cause. The locals blamed her for a war that claimed
thousands of lives.  Now Hollywood is stepping in and will
paint another picture. Was she a heroine or failure?

Connections, with host Mary Ambrose, at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC
