Meet The Candidate brings the candidates from Waterloo Region into the studio to present their party platform, the local issues they’ll tackle, the reasons they’re running, and maybe a personal glimpse into their life outside of politics. This is not an interview show, this is just the candidate, speaking directly to you, the voter.
The Ontario provincial election is on Thursday 27 February 2025 — Get your information about the candidates now!
Meet The Candidate is hosted by Bob Jonkman and airs on CKMS-FM weekdays at 9:00am from Monday 10 February 2025 to Tuesday 25 February 2025.
