Two lifestyle shows are returning to the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) for their second seasons this month. Miywayawin, meaning well-being in Cree, looks at environmental and health issues like clean water, sexual health, diabetes and addiction for a target demographic of 25-to-54-year-olds. Starting Jan. 14, the Saskatchewan-based information show airs Wednesdays at 10 pm on APTN HD.
Broadcast in French, La Piqure features native youths 13 to 18 years old job-shadowing professionals in their ideal line of work, which ranges from farming to law. ‘Over a period of four days, they play a role in the lives of the person who share their passion,’ says Sylvia Kolopenuk, manager of communications at APTN. The show’s target demographic is teenagers.
La Piqure airs Mondays at 4 pm on APTN’s East feed and APTN HD. APTN reaches about 10 million homes across Canada.
