Story summary

Channon Russette-Mondoux, a Canadian who moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan, after marrying an American, started the Can-Am Peace Jam festival four years ago to celebrate the cultural ties between Canada and the U.S. This year's event was particularly poignant as relations between the two countries have been strained due to trade tensions and rhetoric from U.S. President Donald Trump about annexing Canada. Despite these challenges, Russette-Mondoux remains committed to fostering friendship across borders, highlighting activities such as live music performances by Canadian artists and cultural demonstrations like curling at this year's festival in Kalamazoo on Saturday.
