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.

CKMS News -2026-09-10- Kitchener’s Community Canopy Program Update

Leave a comment

Leah Gerber

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.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 387: All Things Considered #87 [Lazy Specialist]

Leave a comment

What’s up, y’all? Here is the 87th All Things Considered, which makes the case for Lazy Specialist, a rather niche cloud rap/trip hop artist whose niche discography, for me, is always associated with the closure of the blog era, and the lost possibilities therein. His stuff can still be found on his Bandcamp, but tonight’s mix should give you a robust introduction!

Hitting you with some deep cuts of 1994 this time. Or at least they would’ve been deep cuts to me a few years ago. I suspect they might not be to all of you. A few years back I did a list of the top 100 tracks of the year, which I’m not reposting it because I only stand by about 70% of it. In lieu of that I played a few tracks that I’ve heard or reevaluated since that deserve to be on such a list. Also have chatter on the value of digging through a year in music and some things to avoid if you do take on such a project. Highly recommended!

Recording

Tracks played

  • Carl Craig — “Throw” (1994)
  • Fu-Schnickens — “Breakdown” (1994)
  • James Carter — “Take the ‘A’ Train” (1994)
  • Tori Amos — “God” (1994)
  • Iris DeMent — “Calling for You” (1994)
  • The Cure — “Burn” (1994)
  • Juan Atkins — “Game One” (1994)
  • Nobuo Uematsu — “Searching for Friends” (1994)
  • Stephen Sondheim (perf. Donna Murphy) — “Loving You” (1994)
  • Osvaldo Golijov (perf. Kronos Quartet) — “Agitato – Con fuoco – Maestoso – Senza misura, Oscilante” (from The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind) (1994)

The Tune Up plays an evolving mix of jazz which blends between classic, experimental and raw sounds. This week’s mix starts with Autumn In New York off of the Charlie Parker With Strings album, since it’s almost fall time! The first half is themed around old-timey jazz that just sounds cozy. Then, a few cool tracks I discovered recently including a smooth cover of Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together by pianist Monty Alexander.

2m50s Introducing Robin Arnott and the Parkinson Society Southwestern Ontario, explaining what PSSO does, and talking about the Walk for Parkinson’s. PSSO is not a medical organization, but offers social support, webinars, and an annual conference. Working with local neurologists, nurses, and other experts. Robin gives details on the Fall Regional Parkinson’s Conference.
7m20s Talking about the extent of the Southwestern Ontario East Region. There are walks in each area, fourteen diffent locations. Every year they break the record for highest fundraising.
9m15s Robin explains what happens in a support group.
10m25s What is Parkinson’s Disease? Robin makes a disclaimer that she’s not a doctor, but gives a good description of the symptoms: tremors, mental health issues, digestion, communication. But there are many symptoms that Robin hears about for the first time. Parkinson’s is a varied disease. Some people have good experience with diagnosis, but it can take a long time for others. It might be up to 20 years of living with symptoms before diagnosis. The Parkinson’s Society doesn’t require a diagnosis to provide support, they support people. Shoutout to the YMCA of Three Rivers: Guelph, Kitchener, and Cambridge, who have provided exercise programs for people living with Parkinson’s. Exercise can help with the management of symptoms.
16m40s Robin tells us about the support groups, the different ways support groups work. There are support groups for care partners, separate from the people they’re supporting. The location of support groups aren’t publicly announced for privacy reasons, but are available by registering on the website. Communication can be by e-mail, postal mail, whatever works for people. People are directed to support groups based on their needs. There is no cost to the participants for support groups, only the conference has a fee. Sponsorships from local businesses help fund the support groups. Sponsors get some marketing boosts through the Parkinson Society. There is still a need for sponsors for the Walk for Parkinson’s.
24m29s Talking about the history of Parkinson’s Disease, and the progress in research. There are reseachers funded through the Graduate Student Scholarship Program funded by the Parkinson Society Southwestern Ontario. The research is neurlogy-based, not so much the social aspects, or accessibility requirements. Advocacy for laws like Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) is left to other organizations. But PSSO does pay attention to accessibility for their conference and support groups.
29m25s Walk for Parkinson’s is a great way to let people know about Parkinson’s, there is not a big understanding of how prevalent Parkinson’s is. Robin provides us with some statistics. Bob wonders why a fundraiser for a mobility-based disease is done as a walk. Robin goes over the different non-walking activities. Pre-registration on the website is encouraged, but people can register for the walk at 10:00am on Saturday 12 September at Kiwanis Park in Kitchener.
32m40s Bob introduces the next song by Tim McInnes.

36m29s Robin tells us about her role in the Parkinson Society Southwestern Ontario, and the work in different communities. Robin tells of the volunteers and the work they do. Aside from volunteers who work in adminstration or for the fundraiser walk, there are volunteer support facilitators. PSSO will interview people for that role, and provides practice groups and annual training. A support group facilitator is the moderator for the conversation in the support groups.
44m21s PSSO was formed in 1993, starting with local support groups. There’s no national or international network of Parkinson’s Societies, although there are organizations that do world conferences. More global sharing is needed. PSSO concentrates on local support. There are regional variations in support, some rural areas have no neurologists so people need to drive to urban centres. But the biggest obstacle to be overcome is awareness of PSSO and the needs that still exist. The YMCA provides space, but the need is outgrowing the available space. There’s an online Kaffee Klatsch every Monday, for discussion on things not directly related to Parkinson’s.
50m10s Robin summarizes the events at the October conference, and the Walk for Parkinson’s. Bob gives the end credits.

CKMS Community Connections airs on CKMS-FM 102.7 from 3:00pm to 4:00pm on Mondays.
