Syrup Moose Radio

Syrup Moose Radio (black letters like grafitti, with the A in Radio like the Anarchism symbol, red A inside a circle with the legs, crossbar, and apex extending just beyond the circle)Syrup Moose Radio has a primary focus on heavier or more experimental music – though Brendan reserves the right to basically just play anything that strikes him. He also injects a lot of leftist views and values and provides commentary there, and occasionally interviews. Though it is predominantly a music show.

Syrup Moose Radio is hosted by Brendan, is syndicated on CKMS-FM and airs on Tuesdays from 1:00am to 3:00am.

CKMS News -2025-05-01- Indigenous artwork at new library branch focuses on interconnectedness and storytelling.

dan kellar
Kitchener, ON –
While the neighbourhood surrounding Kitchener’s newest library branch in still under construction, inside the building, a 15m long wall sculpture has been installed and unveiled, which according to a city press release “explores and honours connection to the earth and to each other, but also the traditional sharing of knowledge within Indigenous communities.”

The artwork, a collaboration with Anishinaabe Indigenous artists Isaac Murdoch and Nyle Johnston is named Wintertime Stories and is a sprawling mixed medium sculpture made with acrylic and wood and features pictographs and iconography. The press release notes the sculpture is “rooted in the Anishinabek storytelling tradition, intersecting cultures and life in the northern woodlands”.

This show features interviews with Wintertime Stories co-creator Nyle Johnston and Eric Rumble, the Coordinator, or Arts and Creative Industries at City of Kitchener, who helped facilitate the selection process for the artwork.

OUTREACH MEMO 5

To: Everyone 5

From: Outreach Committee

Topic: Who we are

Just three of the great people who volunteer here at the station.

Sunny Kochar,  Sat 1pm.  I’m really happy to be at the station.  Doing my “Rethink Your Retirement” show is remarkably easy thanks to the professional community radio board members. The training on equipment and software was comprehensive, covering both hands-on and theoretical aspects, which has really helped me develop as a broadcaster.   It’s been a fulfilling experience. 

Don Janzen, AKA Dr. Don, The Radio Nowhere Show. I’m proud to be a part of the Radio Waterloo family and even though it seems like just yesterday when Bob and Jeff patiently guided me through the process, it’s already been two years and I’ve syndicated the show to another Ontario station as well as one in the US and one in the UK and I’ve established a social media presence which is how most of my fans access the show. Based on my experience with other stations Radio Waterloo provides me with a few huge advantages. First I can offer fans access to a podcast version of the show, I have a page on the station’s website and access to an extensive music library. None of the other stations I’m on provide any of those benefits.   Keep up the good work everyone.

Dwayne Jennings, (Thursdays at 3 pm with Classical Coffee Break)      I volunteer with CKMS as a way to connect with a local classical musical community that’s underserved by conventional radio. I also want to share my love of this music with a broader, general audience who may want to explore a bit of classical. I’m also trying to promote and support live music events in our city. We have a lot of really top-notch musicians here who deserve to be heard by a wider audience.   The great technical training I received helped to get my show up and running, along with the ongoing support and encouragement I continue to receive from the CKMS volunteer team.

CKMS News -2025-04-25- More Strong Mayor Powers Granted In Waterloo Region

CKMS News -2025-04-25- More Strong Mayor Powers Granted In Waterloo Region

dan kellar
Waterloo Region, ON –
On May 1st, mayors of 169 small and medium sized municipalities will be granted Strong Mayor Powers by the provincial government, giving them new abilities to direct hirings, enact by-laws, and set their budgets with less democratic participation by city councillors or the public. Since 2023, 47 other mayors have been granted the new status.

The conservative government says that the powers will help municipalities deliver on provincial priorities like building homes and infrastructure.  However, data from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation  shows that housing starts were down 33% in January and February compared to the same months in 2024, leading critics, including the Green Party to question the effectiveness of the Strong Mayor strategy.

This show starts with an interview with MPP Clancy and moves onto interviews with the Mayor of Wilmot Township Natasha Salonen, and Mayor Sandy Shantz of Woolwich Township, who are both about to be granted the Strong Mayor Powers.  Also included is a statement CKMS News received from Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe.

2m48s Breanna MacLeod introduces “ActOUT Kitchener Waterloo Children’s Drama Workshop”, but they tend to go by ActOUT! They do theatre by kids, for kids, and giving them experiences with live theatre that are hard to come by in a modern age. They stage full productions with kids as actors and participants. They partner with other community organizations, like KW Little Theatre, The Registry Theater, and Cambridge Arts Theatre. And they’re doing a play in Waterloo Park.
4m27s And they’ll be doing some radio theatre, live in the CKMS-FM studio this Friday, 25 April 2025 at 5:00pm. The script is based on an old Oscar Wilde story called The Canterville Ghost. The kids have added some of their own material as well.
9m25s Kids not only learn acting, but also script writing, blocking, stage management, lights and sound. Many of the people helping with assistant directing, assistant stage management are volunteers. Some are former participants in the program! And some have gone on to Stratford or Drayton. But most don’t, they leave with a better appreciation of theatre arts. In the program they’ve done musicals, plays, stage combat, drama, comedy. They’re always looking for new opportunities.

22m24s Suzanne and Breanna talk about scriptwriting, and finding appropriate and engaging material for performances. Breanna tells us about last year’s play in the park, Marian. Local scriptwriters can contact ActOUT! at info@actoutkw.com.
27m58s Getting help from the community: Breanna met Jeff Stager from Radio Waterloo at the Community Picnic. They have a lot of contacts through different theatres, like Nadia at KWLT, and also Drayton Entertainment.
30m23s Having a safe space to express yourself is important. There are participants with neurodivergence, or anxiety, kids experimenting with gender or part of the LGBTQ+ population. Theatre is a very supportive environment.
32m23s Breanna takes us through the process of setting up a new production: Finding the script, one suitable for a bigger cast (particularly the musicals!) The actors are double-cast, one as more of a major role, and a second as a background player. Then looking for staff, such as director, choreographer, musical director. These are paid positions! Some programs a Laurier University have provided directors and other people from their theatre program. A musical may start rehearsing in September to prepare for a performance in December. Kids may put in six hours a week of rehearsal for a musical! This would be three hours on a weekday, and three more hours on a weekend. Then there might be eight shows over two weeks.

Breanna reviews a number of the upcoming programs and performances. And they’ll be announcing new programs and performances in June. The Board decides what performances are mounted. Always looking for volunteers: volunteer@actoutkw.com. People working with the children will have to undergo a vulnerable sector check. You can sign up your kids through the website.

OUTREACH MEMO 4

Memo to: Everyone 4

From: Outreach Committee

Topic: How do you listen?

How are we reaching you or why aren’t we?

There are a two ways you can listen to the station. Of course here at the web site or over over the air at 102.7 FM.  We offer many ways you can listen at any time to many programs here through a direct pod cast connection.  Many of our programers have archived shows.

We do have a transmitter and tower that basically services the Cambridge to Waterloo corridor.  

Our web site services are the most economical way to interact with you as the transmitter and tower requirements are quite a big part of our financial requirements.  Up until very recently most radio was concentrated in the over air reception by people at home listening through a big stereo receiver unit.  Today of course many people just stream us.  Including in their cars.

That actually makes sure you receive a nice signal no matter what the weather or how far you are from the tower.  It’s a nice way to see what is available as you can just hit our schedule button and see the full range of great shows we host.  Because that factor is becoming such large part of our community engagement we are looking for a web site programmer or web development company to join us.  Your expertise can only enhance our own great technical team.  We’ve got some great ideas.

Stations these days must be multi layered in what they offer you.  Not only do we broadcast the widest range of music anywhere from our vibrant multi-ethnic communities but we also offer shows ranging from financial planning and news to student involvement and theatre.

We need to build our partnerships with not only our listeners but with the business community as well.  If you would like to devote some of your skills to help us out, please just email me at nocrapradio@yahoo.com

Next up, some of the people who are with us.
