CKMS News -2025-04-17- Local cycling route finder app rolls in with big update.

dan kellar
Waterloo, ON – With the launch of “version 2” of the Cycling Guide, Mark Connolly told CKMS News that the app will find “the best available, low stress, cycling friendly routes available” to get a cyclist to a destination.  Connolly, who is the executive director of the not-for-profit Cycling Guide Foundation, and a programmer on the project spoke with CKMS News earlier this week.

Cycling Guide is a free app that uses data from the open-source Open Street Maps to create routes to a set destination that favours safe cycling infrastructure. The app will show a cyclist where they may encounter more stressful riding situations through a colour coded system, and allow a user to select the route that best fits their comfort levels.

Version 2 of the app still only provides routes in Waterloo Region and Guelph, but Connolly told CKMS News that it is beta testing in Ottawa, Sarnia-Lambton, and Halifax, Nova Scotia.

CKMS News – 2025-04-16- “Elbows Up For Climate” action and economic sovereignty in Waterloo

Leave a comment

CKMS News – 2025-04-16- “Elbows Up For Climate” action and economic sovereignty in Waterloo.

dan kellar
Waterloo, ON – Waterloo mayor Dorothy McCabe has joined more than 160 other civic leaders across the country to demand that Canada’s federal and provincial leaders respond to the ” dual threats of tariffs and climate change” by taking bold action on climate initiatives and supporting the national economy.

The demands are presented in a letter released by the Elbows Up for Climate Campaign, a group of elected municipal officials, and argues that the status-quo approaches to climate action is not working. The letter proposes “five bold and achievable ideas the next federal government can implement as soon as it is elected, to tariff-proof our economy and create a jobs boom in every community”

To bring the letter’s demands into a local context, CKMS News spoke with Mayor McCabe, who discussed climate risks in Waterloo Region, actions the city is taking to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, and what economic sovereignty looks like in the region.

CKMS News -2025-04-11- Kitchener’s April Pools is in full stroke for water safety

dan kellar
Kitchener, ON – April Pools month is in full stroke in Kitchener as the city’s Aquatics team is raising funds to directly support the Water Smart safety programs and offset the costs of participation in swimming programs.

A press release from the city reads “Water safety is no joke.  In Canada, drowning is the number one cause of unintentional injury death among children 1-4 years of age, and the second leading cause of preventable death for children under 10 years of age”.

Throughout April, the admissions on Saturdays and Sundays at three of the city’s pools, Forest Heights, Breithaupt Centre Pool, and the Grand River Rec Complex will go towards the safety programs.  There will also be free water safety resources available at all indoor pools across the city.

This show features an interview with Alex Geisel, Supervisor of Aquatics and Programs for the city of Kitchener.

CKMS News – 2025-04-09- Kitchener named as a “Tree City of the World”

dan kellar
Kitchener, ON – Kitchener has joined 21 other cities in Canada and 210 cities in 24 countries around the planet in being named a Tree City of the World by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and The Arbour Day foundation.  The designation reflects the city’s efforts in “tree care, policy development, community engagement and maintaining a healthy urban canopy”.  Nearby, both Hamilton and Cambridge also hold the leafy designation.

In a press release announcing the designation, Kitchener Mayor Berry Vrbanovic said “As we look to celebrate Earth Day later this month, this recognition is a wonderful indicator that we’re moving in the right direction for our community, our forest and our planet!”

This show features an interview with Joshua Shea, the Manager of Forestry and Natural Area  Management at the city of Kitchener. Shea reflects on the Tree City of the World designation, speaks about an upcoming free tree giveaway, and discusses his most appreciated trees. For more information visit kitchener.ca/trees

#AltElxn2025: Vancouver Island Voices – Saanich – Gulf Islands

Leave a comment

The first episode of #AltElxn2025 Radio for the Canadian Election National Campus and Community Radio Association Association nationale des radios étudiantes and communautaires (NCRA microphone logo, maple leaf logo, and a background of a hand inserting a ballot into a ballot box)#AltElxn2025 aims to illuminate the election issues in British Columbia, particularly focusing on Vancouver Island. The objective is to be part of a series of programs from across Canada that will inform listeners about national issues within the context of a local riding, in this case, Saanich-Gulf Islands. Notably, this is also the “Greenest” riding in Canada, as both the National and Provincial Green parties have held seats here for about a decade. As you will see, while the Provincial Greens recently reelected a green MLA, the National Green candidate, Elizabeth May, is facing a tough battle this time.

This is Episode One of #AltElxn 2025, airing on CKMS-FM at 9:30am on Tuesday, 8 April 2025. #AltElxn 2025 is a four episode series syndicated from the NCRA/ANREC and airs on CKMS-FM as part of Meet The Candidate: 2025 Federal Election, weekdays from 9:02am to 10:00am from 7 to 29 April 2025.

Hosted by Bill Collins and Peter Wainwright.
