MONTREAL The Waskapitan benefit show, organized in honour of Joyce Echaquan, has raised $100,000. Organizers reported Monday that more than 30,000 people attended the online concert, which could be viewed from Dec. 3 to Jan 3. Admission was free, but spectators were invited to make a donation. This virtual show, under the artistic direction of Elisapie and Maurin Auxéméry, was intended as a rendezvous for unity: Waskapitan is an Atikamek word that means together, let s get closer. Almost all of the proceeds from the event came from donations from the public, according to the organizers. For them, it was a huge success.
