CKMS News -2026-09-21- Grassroots group launches municipal election information hub through a “passion for local democracy”

As municipal elections are starting to heat up across the province, a new local organisation is promoting local democracy by helping to inform and educate Waterloo Region residents on all aspects of the vote.

This show features an interview with Alex Latta, a professor at Wilfrid Laurier University and a spokesperson for VisionWR who told CKMS News “We really believe in local democracy and holding politicians to account… and [we want] others in our communities to feel empowered to participate.”

Since starting their work last year, the group has hosted open meetings, run workshops, created toolkits,  developed the vision statements, and has now launched the 2026 regional and municipal elections candidate and voter engagement hub.

According to a recent press release “VisionWR, is a new grassroots volunteer organization dedicated to promoting education, dialogue, and debate on the issues that will shape our shared future: climate change, housing, transportation, water, biodiversity, food security, well being and local democracy.”

 

To explore the  2026 regional and municipal elections candidate and voter engagement hub, visit VisionWR.org

CKMS News – 2026-09-22- A Room of One’s Home

 

by: Shalaka Jadhav
CAMBRIDGE, ON – Hosted at the University of Waterloo Cambridge Architecture Campus, “A Room of One’s Home” is an exhibition curated by Bianca Weeko Martin, and brings together the work of six Waterloo Architecture graduates and alumni whose research reflects on relationships between architecture, diaspora, memory, and cultural knowledge.

Employing drawings, publications, artifacts, and architectural research, the exhibition invites visitors into rooms where, through architectural inquiry,  “home” can be understood as an evolving relationship across generations.

The exhibition and its artists covers several regions:

Ricardo Espinoza, the Caribbean Sea;

Hyjnid (Nidi) Metaj, Albania;

Angeline Reyes, the Philippines;

Giulia Simonetta, Italy;

Zaven Titizian, Syria/Lebanon, and;

Hiba Hasan Zubairi, the Indus River Basin.

Today I’m speaking with Bianca Weeko Martin, curator of “A Room of One’s Home.”

Bianca Weeko Martin is a writer and researcher weaving together architectural practice with theory and personal narrative. She is the author of the “Architectural Guide: Manila” and writes about art, space, and the Filipino diaspora for cultural institutions and publications. She recently made the 2026 CBC Nonfiction Prize longlist for her work “Tita Tallulah”.

“A Room of One’s Home” is on until October 1, 2026. Join Bianca to celebrate the exhibition closing, on September 24, between 5-8pm at the Riverside Gallery. At the closing, exhibiting artist Ricardo Espinoza will be leading a fabric transfer workshop. 

Read about the exhibition at uwaterloo.ca/architecture/news/room-ones-home.

Graduate thesis work of the exhibitors can be found here:

“Beyond the Frame: Culture, Identity, and the Caribbean Sea Diaspora in Canada” – Ricardo Espinoza

“Back to the Mountains: A Guesthouse for the Preservation of Vernacular Memory on Mount Tomorr in Albania” – Hyjnid (Nidi) Metaj

“Manila’s Other City: Toward a Counter-Relocation Approach” – Angeline Reyes

“Tracing Footsteps: Ritual, Place-Making, and Negotiating Identity in Italian-Canadian Processional Landscapes” – Giulia Simonetta

“The Fading Village: An Archive of Exile and Errantry” – Zaven Titizian

“A Woven Divide: Cotton, Property and Partition in the Indus River Basin” – Hiba Hasan Zubairi

CKMS News -2026-09-19- Terry Fox Run Returns as Cancer Research Funding Surpasses $1 Billion

CKMS News -2026-09-19- Terry Fox Run Returns As Cancer Research Funding Surpasses $1 Billion

Eren Yoruk

Waterloo, ON – The Terry Fox Run returns this Sunday for its 46th year, as the Terry Fox Foundation continues to support cancer research across Canada.

The Foundation surpassed $1 billion raised for cancer research in February. This year, about four million Canadians are expected to take part in runs across 600 communities, including Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge.

Terry Fox’s niece Jessie Alder says her uncle’s story and message continue to resonate with Canadians and people around the world. She also points to the progress being made through the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centers Network, which aims to expand access to precision medicine across Canada.

Terry Fox Foundation COO Martha McClew says the organization funds research through a rigorous peer-review process, with only a small percentage of submitted projects receiving funding. She also highlights the Foundation’s cancer research biobank, which contains cancer cells from 16,000 Canadians and is helping researchers share data and better understand how patients respond to treatments.

Alder and McClew also reflect on what Terry Fox’s legacy could look like if a cure for cancer is eventually found, and why the Terry Fox Run remains important as both a fundraiser and a community event.

The Terry Fox Run takes place Sunday, September 20 at 9 a.m. For more information, visit run.terryfox.ca.

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

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 Unwrap Theatre. Radio Waterloo spoke with Pam Patel, artistic director of MT Space and Alten Wilmot, co-writer of the play and founder of Unwrap Theatre to talk about the play and what it aims to do.

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

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 Unwrap Theatre to talk about the play and what it aims to do.
