dan kellar Kitchener – 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. 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.
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.
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.
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:
On the usual note, here is tonight’s Clean Up Hour — an ode to the summer of 2009. More strangeness, more goofiness, more everything:

Kitchener, ON – A recent exposé 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.
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.
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.

Fall is here! (sort of) It is now officially fall, and even though the temperatures haven’t dropped as much as some of us would like, the gloomier weather is moving in and signaling the start of spooky season. Starting off with some classic new wave songs to get in that “spooky” mood, then following with synth-pop, avante-garde what-chya-ma-call-it, and singer-songwriter indie rock, we’re kicking off fall here on Through the Static!
Please forgive my low tech Yenny moment and forgetting to turn off airtime! Luckily I caught it! I hope you all enjoy wonderful Jordan sharing her attitude and music! Find her show Through the Static on Wednesdays at 9:00 PM!!!

dan kellar Kitchener, ON – On September 20th, the 2nd annual #1MiillionMarchForChildren will be at Kitchener city hall for a planned day-long rally. Uniting under the banner Hands Off Our Kids, the rally organizers say they are concerned about parental rights and how sexual orientation and gender identity are being taught in public schools.
Also planning to be at city hall is the group Queer Youth Defense, who have organised a 2nd annual counter demonstration to “drown out hate with a little bit of light”.
This show features an interview with Acer Bonaparte of Queer Youth Defense along with statements CKMS News received from trustee Cindy Watson of the Waterloo Region District School Board, from jeewan chanicka, the Director of Education at the WRDSB, and from Kitchener Mayor Berry Vrbanovic. CKMS News tried to contact local organizers from Hands off Our Kids, but did not receive a response, however, material from the group’s website is referenced.

Kitchener, ON – In the evening on September 19th, the Waterloo Region Friends of Palestine are hosting a screening of the documentary film Where Olive Trees Weep, which is described as offering “a window into the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice.” The film’s website continues “We follow, among others, Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass. We also witness Dr. Gabor Maté offer trauma-healing work to a group of women who were tortured in Israeli prisons”.
Before the screening, CKMS News spoke with Robert Massoud of Waterloo Region Friends for Palestine. Massoud spoke about the new documentary, the ongoing Palestinian solidarity actions from several local organizations, how injustice in Palestine is decades old, and how Canada is still “active and complicit in arming Israel” after a year of “genocidal” violence.

Guelph, ON – While Palestinian solidarity encampments at universities across the country have been dismantled, strategizing to keep up the pressure hasn’t stopped. The grassroots organization Guelph 4 Palestine is hosting the People’s Conference for Palestinian Solidarity at the University of Guelph on September 21st and 22nd. The conference’s website says participants “will engage in meaningful conversations, learn and share lessons and resources, and continue to propel efforts to support a free Palestine”.
Representatives from several Palestinian solidarity student encampments will share their experiences along with health care workers, labour organizers, Independent Jewish Voices, and others. Organizers from the “Gaza House” encampment which was set up at the University of Waterloo will be presenting. The event will feature workshops and speakers, discussion and resource sharing spaces and programming for kids. Registration is available online or in person at the event.
This show features an interview with Shabina Lafleur-Gangji of Guelph 4 Palestine.

dan kellar Kitchener, ON – With students returning to schools across the region, the city of Kitchener is reminding drivers to slow down on the roads and pay special attention in school zones, at pedestrian crossings, and where crossing guards are on duty.
In a press release sent by the city, Kitchener Mayor Berry Vbranovic expressed “I encourage all of us grownups to take a bit of extra care, slow down and exercise some extra caution on area roads.” These efforts are tied into the city’s Vision Zero strategy, which was adopted in 2021.
This show features interviews with Aaron McCrimmon-Jones, the manager of transportation safety and policy at the city of Kitchener and Margaret Johnston, the Ward 8 councilor for Kitchener and the chair of the city’s Community & Infrastructure Services Committee. Visit kitchener.ca/visionzero for more on the City’s plans to eliminate traffic related injuries.

Sohayla runs a soup kitchen in Shelburne, Ontario called Soup Haus. She did a TED talk on Soup Haus called No Strings Attached – Need, and the Art of Giving. The principle behind the soup kitchen is that when you don’t have enough, it is hard and feels bad to ask for help; Instead the goal is to offer help or food before people need to ask. Sohayla has done this every Sunday for five years. And now there is a songwriter’s round after the supper for musicians who want to learn about songwriting and have a community. Bob mentions that in Kitchener there is Food Not Bombs (with international roots) offering food at Kitchener City Hall every Saturday at 4:30pm; the St. John’s Kitchen, currently in St. John’s church at 23 Water Street North in Kitchener weekdays at Noon, and the Tiny Home Takeout at St. Mary’s Church, 56 Duke Street West, Tuesday to Saturday 5:00pm to 6:30pm. At Soup Haus no-one gets paid. It’s all volunteers — sometimes the dinner guests become volunteers. There may be as many as 12 volunteers, and once up to 80 guests! But 18 to 25 guests is more usual. Talking about people’s needs, and other things Sohayla has done to help her community.

Introducing the next song, Bad Boys. It was picked up by Sirius XM. Sohayla wrote this a long time ago, and got it recorded just recently. Bad Boys is the other side to Better Man.
Bad Boys was released at the start of August. Now Sohayla is working on a Blues album. It’s going slow… She’s also working on a Christian song, but that’s not part of the Blues album. The songs have been written for a long time, and played in performance, but never recorded. There may be a Blues tour, maybe combined with the small venues tour. Or maybe not. Kitchener has lots of small (and big) Blues venues, and the big Blues Festival. Sohayla hasn’t played in her home town. Daniel is helping Sohayla book the venues.

Sohayla doesn’t remember any upcoming performances, but she’s doing some studio work. She’ll be playing for her students’ recital. But she e-mailed a list of upcoming concerts (under Events).
