Kitchener, ON – Juno award winning singer-songwriter and Officer of the Order of Canada Susan Aglukark is performing this evening in Kitchener as part of the Together for Nature Tour, and she spoke with CKMS ahead of today’s show. The tour, hosted by Ontario Nature and Legal Advocates for Nature’s Defence, features Susan Aglukark in performance alongside addresses by Okiniwak, Friends of the Attawapiskat River, and a screening of the short film Here We Stand.

Susan Aglukark sat down with CKMS to discuss the tour and her musical career, going back to her first song and music video “Searching,” released in 1991, and her upcoming EP, Disco Ball, to be released later this fall.

The Together for Nature Tour is in Kitchener this evening at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church.

New stage comedy about growing up biracial in Waterloo Region opens October 1st

Leave a comment

Host: Leah Gerber

A new play titled Mixed(er), about growing up biracial in Waterloo Region is aiming to get you laughing. The story is about a young woman’s fateful homecoming to Waterloo Region after finishing university. She finds out her parents are throwing a surprise birthday party for her and that they’ve invited all her White friends and her only Black friend. Suddenly the worlds she’s worked to keep apart come colliding together in a funny, farcical way. The production is presented by local theatre companies MT Space and Unwrapped Theatre. Radio Waterloo spoke with Pam Patel, artistic director of MT Space and Alten Wilmot, co-writer of the play and founder of Unwrapped Theatre to talk about the play and what it aims to do.

JAM with Zogho -Accountability S1E3 2026-09-11

Leave a comment

In this episode of JAM with Zogho, we get real about accountability—taking responsibility for our choices, our habits, our relationships, and the direction of our lives. MC Zogho explores the difference between blaming ourselves and owning our power to make better choices. Through music, reflection, and honest conversation, this episode asks one simple question:Can we truly grow if we refuse to take responsibility for our part?

CKMS News -2026-09-11- Cambridge Fire Department Aims to Raise Fire Safety Awareness with Open House

Eren Yoruk

Cambridge, ON – The Cambridge Fire Department is preparing to welcome residents to its annual Open House on September 12 at Fire Station 1 on Bishop Street.

The event will give residents a chance to meet firefighters, tour the station, explore emergency equipment and learn about fire and life safety. This year’s event will also feature a live side-by-side burn demonstration showing the impact of residential fire sprinkler systems.

In an interview with CKMS News, Chief Fire Prevention Officer Eric Yates discussed the importance of working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, home escape plans and safe battery charging. He also highlighted lithium-ion batteries as one of the department’s growing fire safety concerns.

The interview also covers recent fire loss trends in Cambridge, wildfire preparedness and what residents can do to reduce fire risks at home and outdoors.

You can find more information about the event on the Facebook event page.

Kitchener, Ontario

The City of Kitchener began a program two years ago to increase its overall tree canopy and increase the number of trees in the neighbourhoods that need them most. But now in its third year, how is the program doing? 

Radio Waterloo spoke with Hajnal Kovacs, the city’s forestry project manager, as well as Ashlynn Fleming, the interim manager of tree programs at REEP Green Solutions and community member David Shaftoe to understand the project’s goals and how well they are meeting these targets.

CKMS News -2026-09-10- Waterloo Region Wilmot Land Assembly Update

Leave a comment

Leah Gerber

Wilmot, Ontario

Waterloo Region staff have been purchasing land in Wilmot Township to put together a very large shovel-ready parcel to attract major industry to the region. So far the Region has acquired 550 acres of its 770 acre goal. The process began with threats of expropriation over two years ago, and because councilors and staff have all signed non-disclosure agreements, the public has not been informed of most of the major plans for this project.

Radio Waterloo reached out to the Region of Waterloo, Wilmot Township, The Grand River Environmental Network and township citizens to provide an update on what is known about the issue so far.
