Kitchener, ON – The City of Kitchener has brought local businesses together with federal and provincial procurement experts through a two-day “Buy Canada–Buy Ontario” initiative at Kitchener City Hall.
The sessions aimed to help businesses access an estimated $300 billion in annual government procurement opportunities amid growing international trade challenges, according to Senator Sandra Pupatello.
Mayor Berry Vrbanovic said local companies need the information and resources to compete for government contracts at all levels.
“It’s really all about making sure that businesses have the information they need to compete on business opportunities, whether they’re at the local, provincial, or national level,” Vrbanovic said.
Pupatello said businesses outside major administrative centres may overlook opportunities to supply governments with goods and services.
“If you don’t live in a capital region, you don’t tend to think of what the government buys that you can actually offer,” she said, encouraging local suppliers to explore public-sector contracts.
With tariffs creating challenges for traditional manufacturing sectors, the initiative focused on helping local businesses identify new opportunities through government procurement.

Aired on October 16th, 2026
A show to capture all of October; or basically, to capture what the image above feels like. Listen to me yap over music spanning autumnal melancholy, Thanksgiving celebrations (with a Canadian flavour), Oktoberfest-adjacent singalongs, and Halloween scares both silly and truly unnerving.
Recording
Conversation with Ward 8 Candidates, Margaret Johnston, Wendy Creighton and Philip Molto [Separate segment with Carly Pettinger on Regime Radio on October 9th]. Indigenous Community Organizer, William Martin joined in the studio with questions as well.
The Tune Up plays an evolving mix of jazz which blends between classic, experimental and raw sounds. Thanks for listening!

CKMS News – 2026-10-10- The Canadian Dream and the municipal election
by: dan kellar
Kitchener, ON – While folks are still deciding who to support in the municipal election on October 26th a coalition of actors and advocates will use theatre to drive democratic participation. There will be a performance of “The Canadian Dream”, followed by a meet and greet for candidates from Kitchener’s ward 9, regional council, and mayoral races.
The free event is taking place on Friday October 16th at 6:30 pm in the Pavillion in Willow River Park, and is being co-hosted by local theatre troupe Outta Work Actors, the Social Developement Centre of Waterloo Region, the Festival of Neighbourhoods, and Indigenous Creatives United.
The play itself is an “interactive performance that bridges real lived experiences of homelessness in Kitchener with community civic participation.”, and was developed over the past several years by the Outta Work Actors through the Kaleidoscope Two Minute Play Laboratory.
Following the performance, a non-partisan all-candidates meet and greet will allow residents a chance to discuss the performance and speak with candidates with “curiosity and dialogue rather than adversarial debate”.
This show features an interview with Heather Majaury, the artistic director of Outta Work Actors, and collaborator with the Social Development Centre of Waterloo Region. For more about the event, the play, and the Outta Work Actors, visit https://outtaworkactors.com.
