CKMS News -2025-09-19- The Child Witness Centre is Doors Open during regional event

dan kellar
Kitchener, ON – The Child Witness Centre is a Kitchener based organisation which provides support to young victims or witnesses to crime or abuse.  Among their activities, the organisation provides referrals to counseling services, provides education, guidance, and support through police investigations and court processes, and provides strategies for coping and safety planning.

As Robin Heald, the Executive Director of the Child Witness Centre said to CKMS News, these children are “perhaps having the worst day of their lives”.

During this year’s  Doors Open Waterloo Region on Saturday September 20th, Child Witness is opening its doors to the public, for the first time in the organization’s decades long history, to spread awareness about the work done to support child victims or witnesses to crime or abuse.

This show features an interview with Robin Heald, the Executive Director of the Child Witness Centre.

Incarceration (single)
Retrograth
4m00s Dr. Peter Eglin, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Wilfrid Laurier University explains what Sociology is: It’s the interrogation of social life; what makes it possible for people to live together? The problem of social order, why doesn’t it all fall apart? What makes society work? Peter is concerned with climate breakdown, the political stuff that’s happening in the United States and affecting us in Canada. One of the problems with climate breakdown is that people who are most affected, in the global south, are least responsible for it.
6m30s Peter and Yves Engler have an upcoming lecture, speaking on Canada and the genocide in Gaza. It’s a free event, no registration required. Peter has known Yves for over 15 years; Peter was teaching a course for which he didn’t have a textbook, and Yves had just written one that was exactly what Peter needed. Peter invited Yves to talk to his class, several times, and they became friends. Tamara has known Yves even longer than Peter has. They’ve worked together on several conflicts: Gaza, Haiti, Canada’s role in Iraq and Afghanistan. They’ve worked on getting Canada to have a foreign policy premised on peace, international law, justice, sustainable development. Tamara and Yves came together to prevent Canada from getting a seat on the UN Security Council; Canada’s record on foreign policy has been egregious, and doesn’t deserve a seat. From there they launched the Canadian Foreign Policy Iniative (CFPI) which is sponsoring the event on Friday.
12m00s Peter and Yves will talk about their new books: Yves has written “Canada: Building Apartheid with Israel”; Peter has written “Analyzing the Israeli Effect in Canada”. It’s an account of episodes in Peter’s experience with the media and at Wilfrid Laurier University. It recounts Peter’s own encounters trying to get recognition from the ‘intellectual class’ in Canada. Media and the University both support Israel heavily. Peter tells us of the different reportage for victims from Israel than from victims from Palestine. Peter also tells of the lack of response by WLU on the bombing of Gaza University. Peter had tenure, so his career was not in jeopardy from his outspoken views. But an article he wrote on the Palestinian issue in 2001 in response to an article by his colleague Barry Kay (written from a Zionist position); Peter’s article was removed, but not Barry’s. The target of Peter’s book is fellow intellectuals, what they have failed to do in response to what Israel has done to Palestine.
20m00s Tamara is a student at the Balsilie School of International Affairs, an institution that should be discussion the topic of the situation in Palestine, and how Canada should be helping to end the injustice, ending the genocide, ending the disposession — Canada has a history of committing the same injustices against Indigenous people. But there has been a suppression of dialogue about Palestine. There is no serious talk about Canada’s role in Ukraine, in arming Taiwan against China, how Canada is fuelling and fomenting conflict in the world. Tamara is troubled by the state of universities, not welcoming diversity of opionion, peace, justice, and sustainable development. Neither WLU nor the University of Waterloo has made a statement on the genocide or the starvation of Palestine by Israel. We need to reflect on the role of universities in society.
24m30s Bob asks that since the University has not acknowledged these international affairs, how much can Tamara trust the program she’s in? Tamara is worried that the University is duplicating the dominant narrative, that it is not doing research, engaging in dialogue, or critiqueing Canada’s role in these international conflicts. By not acknowledging the problem the universities are perpetuating the problem. Tamara gives several examples of Canada’s participation in violence, but without any accountability. Tamara wants to see more voices and research calling attention to these issues. But students with divergent opinions are being marginalized, shut out, denied research funding, and not getting positions at the university. Tamara is a long time peace and environmental justice activist. There have been complaints against her, but she relies on solid, evidence-based analysis to give her the confidence to articulate her views. Tamara notes that there is no Canada Research Chair in peace studies.
29m00s Bob points out that it’s not just the Department of International Affairs or the Department of Sociology, this anti-peace, pro-violence view extends to Physics and Engineering. Tamara says that the University of Waterloo is training its students to produce weapons that bomb, kill, injure, maim, and destroy the people in Gaza. Why are there no seminars to respond to the report “Exposing Canadian Military Exports to Israel” that shows that Canada is sending weapons to Israel that are used to kill Palestinians during the genocide.
31m00s Bob brings up the increase in NATO spending, will this be used to enhance university spending on these programs to develop weapons? Tamara says “No doubt”, but we do not yet have the details on Canada’s military spending, which will come out with the federal budget in the fall. In the past 10 years Canadian military spending increased 100%, about half of which went to universities. But there is no funding for peace research. Canada spends $41 billion a year on military spending; in the next decade military spending will increase to $150 billion a year. Prime Minister Mark Carney has said this will mean cuts to social and environmental programs. There will be cuts to pensions, housing, health care, and education.
33m30s Bob thinks that a Department of Sociology is the closest thing a univerity would have to a Department of Peace. Peter has been taken with the question of what is appropriate for a university to do in response to events. Universities are supposed to be above party politics. Peter has written about two kinds of politics, one to do with human rights, like the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which Peter calls Politics One. The party politics is Politics Two. Politics One is something the parties themselves are subjected to, and so supersedes Politics Two. Peter says that the University’s mission statements are full of humane statements, but when it comes to the injustice of Israel and Palestine one cannot justify not commenting when a university in Gaza is attacked. The corporate media is beholden to the corporate sector, and journalists know where their bread is buttered.
37m00s Tamara says a university is a different institution from journalism. A university is supposed to welcome and encourage evidence-based analysis, have dialogue and debate on the issues that are taking place in the world, encourage diversity of opinion, and then using the principles and values the university articulates to come to a greater understanding of what’s going on, and then helping our governement and society take good and appropriate action. But Tamara doesn’t see that happening. There is so much destruction in Gaza, and the universities’ failure to speak out is troubling. The double standards that we see in the universities’ and government is responding to what is happening in Palestine and how it’s treating Israel, then comparing that to what is happening in Ukraine and how it’s treating Russia. Tamara gives the example of the Russian drones flying over Poland’s airspace, how the government reacted, calling in diplomats, treating this as a huge diplomatic incident with a lot of condemnation, censure, and media attention; compared to what has happened in Gaza: more bombing of civilians, Palestinians are starving to death, but there has been no comment from our government.
41m00s Coming up on 21 September is the International Day of Peace, followed by the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on 30 September, and the International Day of Nonviolence on 2 October. This is Peace Week or IDOPAN, the International Days of Peace and Nonviolence, as WR Nonviolence used to call it.
41m30s Peter takes a moment to quote Niko Block: “We have seen far more of this genocide than any other while it was ongoing, and I believe the combination of its visibility and longevity marks it as one of the greatest moral failures in the history of humanity. Never before have we seen this level of international complicity in manifest war crimes.” Peter is moved by the scale of this genocide, the enormity of getting away with it, that it has gone on for two years.
42m30s Tamara says we need to act more on this, and they are having these two events in recognition of Peace Week. The first, “What Rules-Based Order? Canada and the Genocide in Gaza” lecture on 19 September 2025 at WLU, then an action at the Waterloo Public Square, “Draw The Line”, in solidarity with a number of other organizations. There are five demands: 1) Put people over corporate profits, fund our families and communities; 2) Refuse ongoing colonialism, uphold Indigeneous sovereignty; 3) Stop blaming migrants, demand full immigration status for all now; 4) End the war machine, stand for justice and peace, cut military spending; and 5) End the era of fossil fuels, protect Mother Earth.
45m00s On the Draw The Line announcement Bob sees the logos for Canadian Voice of Women for Peace and Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom. Tamara is a member of both organizations, and gives some of their history. Their intent is to prevent another global war. Tamara gives examples of the importance of peace efforts.
48m00s Bob comments that we need better political leadership to advocate for peace. Peter points out that Yves Engler would be a good leader for the federal NDP, his platform aligns with all these values. He also advances degrowth; to effective handle climate breakdown we need to stop the economic growth we seem to think must be driven along at any cost. Peter says it will be inspiring to be on stage with Yves. His speaking engagements are partially a leadership campaign tour. Tamara says we do need better leadership to ensure a good future for our children. Peter comments on the youth unemployment rate; Tamara gives examples of the poverty in Canada. This is the reason for ending military spending, that funding needs to be invested in young people, green jobs, community resilience, health care, education.
53m00s Tamara gives a quick review of her upcoming activities, including a speech she’s giving at Peace Toronto, “A Peace of the Pie: People’s Hearing on Military Spending” on 21 September 2025. Peter will be a delegate for the Kitchener NDP riding association in Niagara Falls this weekend. Peter gives a quick plug for Debbie Chapman’s definition for affordable housing.
55m00s Bob gives the end credits.

CKMS News -2025-09-18- “For the water behind the dams”, Walking the Grand River as ceremony

CKMSNews -2025-09-17- Grand River Water Walk 2025

dan kellar
Waterloo Region, ON
 – Most people that have walked with us say they have been transformed in how they appreciate the water and appreciate the land”. Those are the worlds of Mary Anne Caibaiosai, an Anishnaabe woman who has since 2018 been organising the Grand River Water Walk. Caibaiosai spoke to CKMS News earlier this week.

Now in its 3rd year of its second 4 year cycle, Caibaiosai also reminds folks that the walk is not a “social event or political statement, but a ceremony. This year’s walk, which begins on September 21st at the mouth of the river near Dundalk “is for the water behind the dams”.  The  walk, down to the river’s mouth at Lake Erie, is for people of all nations and it follows the protocols of Josephine-baa Mandamin, who led water walks around the Great Lakes prior to her passing in 2019.

This show features an interview with Mary Anne Caibaiosai

CKMS News -2025-09-09- A delicious month of local eats as townships set to host events celebrating local food

Woolwich, ON –
The Region of Waterloo’s four rural townships are hosting their 5th annual Taste The Countryside initiative, launching on September 15th with the Countryside Harvest Meal.  Along with the fundraising dinner, the other main event is a 10-day “Dining Trail”, which begins on September 25th, has been organised to highlight restaurants throughout the townships.

While the overall initiative seeks to support farm-to-table dining in the region, this year’s organizers are also putting a focus on local food security with a portion of the Harvest Meal’s ticket sales going to support local food banks. Taste the Countryside’s support for local food banks is very timely; according to the The Food Bank of Waterloo Region, 1 in 8 households across the region access food from support organizations.

This show features an interview with Kurtis Wells, the Economic Development and Tourism Officer for the  Township of Woolwich.

Awake & Dreaming
6m35s Abby Cooper talks about the origins of Hearts Open For Everyone.
7m47s Abby tells us about the Multicultural Festival of Elmira and why it’s not the “Elmira Multicultural Festival” — it’s to avoid acronym confustion with the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival, which has provided support to MFE.
9m19s Abby tells us about the needs for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, and the reasons for H.O.P.E. It is more than just the MFE, and focuses on the rural townships. There has been a lot of acceptance, with more and more people attending their events. Abby, who is a person of colour herself, hasn’t experience racism or exclusion in Elmira, but the Region of Waterloo is rated one of the worst communities for hate crimes. H.O.P.E.‘s approach is to educate about culture. The MFE is the showcase event to make that happen.

There’s an art project, the mural produced will be exhibited at the Breslau branch of the Region of Waterloo Library. There is Indigenous hair braiding, and a presentation on lacrosse. There are also Mennonite exhibits. And there’s free henna art and face painting.
39m45s Abby tells us of some of the logistics of planning, which started in January. Telling us how the organization grew. Abby gives contact info on how to get involved. E-mail Abby at acooper@heartsopenforeveryone.ca

46m46s Talking about other volunteer opportunities throughout the year, including placement opportunities from Conestoga College. Abby gives a bit more of the support and sponsors for the festival. There are two streams of funding, one for H.O.P.E., the other for MFE.
51m33s Abby tells us of her plans after the MFE is over: A birthday celebration for her nephew! And there will be other programs, like a Muslim workshop in October/November, talking about hate crimes. In December there is “Holidays With H.O.P.E.“, how different cultures celebrate their holidays. Check the H.O.P.E. website for more upcoming events.
55m30s Bob gives the end credits.
