Journey of Life: Our top priority is helping and appreciating our beloved community of Senior Citizens. The show ‘Journey of Life’ is designed to showcase the captivating lives of seniors in our community. The TET  is dedicated to helping foster a sense of community among our participants and audience members. This unique and wholesome show provides a therapeutic space for seniors to reminisce on their youth, college life, romances, and many more gripping past experiences. Come along on this storytelling adventure as they share their wise advice on marriage, careers, and diets. But also their stories regarding assimilation to life in Canada and their lives back home. We invite anyone reading this to join ‘The Journey of Life’ to participate or help us out.

Women's day: This show will Celebrate women's achievements and hard work in a male dominated society. It will raise awareness about discrimination and equal rights while taking action to drive gender parity. Women’s Day belongs to everyone, everywhere. This show will consist of interviews of women who have experienced hardship in their journey to be who they are today while sharing stories that reflect on the past, present and future.

 

 

Thanks to Mom: In this Mother’s Day show, we interviewed mothers and daughters to share their experiences with motherhood and family, their bond with one another, and how they have cultivated this bond. These honest interviews served as a medium through which children expressed their gratitude towards their mothers, as well as an opportunity for mothers to wholeheartedly appreciate their children for who they are. Through this, we brought forward heart-warming childhood and early motherhood memories from reminiscing mothers and daughters. This show emphasizes the importance of cherishing old memories and having a healthy, loving relationship with your mother or daughter. The participants found this therapeutic and joyful.

 

Father’s Day: Modern entertainment has never been the strongest in showcasing healthy and affectionate relationships between fathers and sons. However, many fathers can attest that they take a lot of pride in their children’s accomplishments, both big and small. Hence, this is a show created to offer the stage for fathers to express the pride and joy they constantly feel regarding their sons. It is also a safe space where sons can openly express their gratitude to their dads for supporting them on their paths toward success. This heartwarming show never fails to illustrate the loving, powerful influence that fathers have on their sons’ lives.

 

Tamil Ini Vellum:  A huge priority for the TET is maintaining and developing our Tamil Canadian culture and identity across future generations. Tamil Ini Velum is a show that accomplishes this through the next generation of Tamil Canadians– our youth. We collaborate with children learning the Tamil language and showcase their speeches, songs, poetry and many more artistic talents. This is a lighthearted show to keep our language going as we share our Tamil heritage.

 

Junior Singer 2022: The purpose of the youth singing competition is to find and showcase the best youth singing talents in our community. After the pandemic hit, we had to stop our auditions for our youth singing competition. Fortunately, in the summer of 2022, we were able to complete the show successfully on a public outdoor stage. Through this show, we brought lots of joy, success, exposure, networking, opportunities and community to our participants and audience.

 

Mental Health Shows: The TET”s main program to contribute to mental wellness in the community is the hit show 'Nijamum Nilalum', directly translated as 'Reality and Shadow'. Prior to introducing this educational and informational show, we also facilitated groups and workshops of seniors, youth, and women to share their experiences, meet others and find a safe place to build a sense of community. This was especially useful during COVID-19 as we made zoom conferences and delivered food to seniors who needed connection. The Mental Health Awareness Show ‘Nijamum Nilalum’ is telecasted through Rogers(CH663), Bell(845), IP TV and major social media platforms (Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) with the goal to raise the awareness of mental health in theTamil community.
