Here's the page devoted to the broadcast on CBC:

It doesn't really say that it will be streaming but I presume so as many CBC radio programs are.

Interesting note from the page:
The concert will also be televised on Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2018, at 8 p.m. (8:30 p.m. NT) on CBC and ICI Radio-Canada Télé.
