CKMS News -2024-10-16- MT Space screens recently rediscovered documentary following capacity boost from resiliency fund

CKMS News -2024-10-16- MT Space screens recently rediscovered documentary following capacity boost from resiliency fund.

dan kellar
Waterloo, ON –Β 
The rediscovery and presentation of a piece of local theatre history are the latest results of a resiliency grant for the MT Space theater company.Β  The 2022 grant from the Ontario Trillium Fund, added 3 apprenticeship positions to the group. This boost to organizational capacity led to the rediscovery of a documentary which was filmed during the first IMPACT festival that MT Space organized in 2009.

On October 4th, at the First United church in Waterloo, MT Space presented the documentary, which invited viewers to “See the vision that our Founding Artistic Director Majdi Bou-Matar had laid out for MT Space”. Waterloo MPP Catherine Fife spoke at the event which also celebrated the organization’s 20th year of producing theater.

This show features an interview with Yazan Maarouf, MT Space’s Associate Producer. Maarouf speaks about the funding’s effects, the documentary screening, the fundraising events which run until November, and upcoming projects from MT Space.

Local Award-Winning Horror Film @ Princess Cinema on Thursday, October 17th!

This Thursday, come see the KW Film Festival-awarded film “Demento” at Princess Cinema Original up-town Waterloo!

It’s an action horror movie and it’s a great time. Get your pre-Halloween shudders and shivers in while having a laugh. You may even know someone in the film as it’s a totally local, KW production.

The majority of the movie was filmed inside a (Kitchener) Heritage house, built in the 1880s! (Yes, there is a big, creepy basement involved) :O

Additionally, all of the music and audio editing was created and produced by Dr Tikl of the Monday night CKMS show “the Klausterfokken”.

Thursday, October 17th 2024
7PM @ The Princess Original Cinema
6 Princess Street West Waterloo, ON N2L 2X8

If you’re unable to afford the ticket price, come out anyway and pay what you can, if you can… or enjoy a free movie night out, on us.

CKMS News -2024-10-09- Resident and local government pushback continues against CTS closure in Kitchener

CKMS News -2024-10-09- Resident and local government pushback continues against CTS closure in Kitchener

dan kellar
Kitchener, ON –Β In late August the provincial government announced new rules around Consumption and Treatment Services sites which will force the closure of ten of these health service programs across the province, including the CTS in Kitchener.

Since the announcement, site advocates, service users, community members, health care workers, and politicians have organised support for the CTS. Meanwhile, the provincial government has opened-up applications for funding for Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) hubs to replace the affected CTS sites. Harm reduction such as supervised drug consumption will not be permitted at the new hubs.

On September 10th the regional government voted overwhelmingly to request that the province reverse its decision and maintain funding for the CTS while also funding a HART hub for the region. In the meeting, Dr. Hsiu-Li Wang, Waterloo Region’s Medical Officer of Health said that the ideal model for treatment is a HART hub that would also allow harm reduction.

In a council meeting on September 30th, city of Kitchener councillors passed a motion to request that the province continue funding and allow operation of the CTS past the March 2025 deadline.

This show features interviews with Julie Kalbfleisch from Sanguen Health Centre, operator of Kitchener’s CTS, and Dr. Geoff Bardwell, an assistant professor in the School of Public Health Sciences at the UW, and member of the grassroots Waterloo Region Drug Action Team.

no crap radio ver. 1.03

Hiya. Β Welcome to the reblast!

I’m back.

More scars but earned with honour.

Still standing.

Meaner than yesterday.

no crap radio survives in new versions.Β  i’ve spent the last dozen years collecting music.

you’re going to hear lots of it.Β  the amazing legacy that brilliant people have given us astounds me. Β 

i’ve been playing music for 45 years and still find new genius in sometimes the simplest melody.

An unbroken language that has defined our humanness.Β  The brilliance of a trumpet player in the 1930’s can be as inspired as a folk singer from the 60s or a dub artist of the 2000s.

I’m running everyday as I have heard Buddha is just over the next hill and I want to walk in his shadow.Β  Β Β I earned the karma.

Not yet an ex hippie.

This weeks recommended site.Β  http://www.wisdomofchopra.com

β€œThe fear of death is more to be feared than death itself.”  Publius Syrus Β  a roman slave

Every week I promise you music you’ve never heard before along with lots of good stuff from 100 years of recorded sound. Β  To me thelonious monk is the same as moby who’s the same as dylan who’s the same as prince.Β  So… jazz, dub, folk, ambient, ska, punk, reggae and more styles than you’ve ever heard. music that mirrors it’s time.

CKMS News -2024-10-04- Kitchener’s Community Canopy tree planting program celebrates 1st year

dan kellar
Kitchener –Β The Community Canopy tree planting program will see over 100 new trees planted in the Chandler-Mowat neighbourhood this year. Some of the trees have been planted already with more going into the ground over the fall.Β  The initiative is a partnership between the City of Kitchener and Reep Green Solutions, and builds on efforts to have 30% of the city covered with tree canopy by 2050

This program targets “deserving neighbourhoods” based on metrics which measure socio-economic factors as well as the current tree canopy cover.Β Β 

On Thursday October 10th, from 3-5pm, a community event will take place at Laurentian Park to celebrate the accomplishments of the pilot program, and to announce the transformation of the Community Canopy program into an annual initiative.Β 

This show features interviews with Hajnal Kovacs, the forestry project manager for the city of Kitchener, and Taylor Ross the community engagement coordinator for Reep Green Solutions.Β Β 

 

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 286 + My Appearance on Hip Hop Can Save America

What’s up, y’all? Before I give y’all tonight’s Clean Up Hour, I first want to bring attention to my recent appearance on Hip Hop Can Save America, an independent hip hop news podcast which has helped bring to light a story I recently broke about the disappearance of the Datpiff archive. It’s a huge loss for hip hop archival, and there is absolutely no understanding of why this has happened! So, Manny and I talked about the situation and its implications, you can check it out here:

CKMS News -2024-09-30-A doubling of patients exposed to hallway medicine since 2018

Kitchener, ON –Β 
A recent exposΓ© by The Trillium newsroom has revealed that the practice of hallway medicine in Ontario’s hospitals has on average, doubled from 2018 when Doug Ford’s conservatives were elected to government. Hallway medicine or hallway healthcare, is the practice of patient beds being placed in “unconventional spaces” or areas that are not designed for the purpose, such as hallways, closests, or staff rooms.Β 

The data, which was obtained through the freedom of information process, reveals that Waterloo Region’s two hospitals mirror the provincial data while Guelph’s hospital experienced a 6-fold increase in hallway medicine.Β 

This show features interviews with RN Erin Ariss, the President of the Ontario Nurses Association, and Jim Stewart of the Waterloo Region Health Coalition, a non-partisan advocacy group. Both Erin Ariss and Jim Stewart live in Waterloo Region.Β Β 

CKMS News received a statement from the office of the minister of Health Sylvia Jones, some of which is included.
