One World pulls in big time support for relief effort

CTV's broadcast of One World: The Concert for Tsunami Relief reached over four million viewers on Saturday. The event, which was held in Vancouver and hosted by Brent Butt and Rick Mercer, featured Canadian recording artists such as The Barenaked Ladies, Sarah McLachlan and Sum 41 (as well as a special appearance by Robin Williams). The combined totals of Saturday's event and last night's follow up concert in Calgary are expected to generate over $3 million for charities doing relief work in the disaster areas across South Asia.
