| 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. | ||
| 32m55s | Where Do I Go? |
 (single) |
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 News -2026-08-28- ‘That’s A Recipe For Disaster’: Waterloo Region Council Opposes Dual Leadership Model
Eren Yoruk
Waterloo, ON – Waterloo Region Council is pushing back against a new provincial governance model that could allow one person to serve as both Mayor and Regional Chair.
Cambridge Regional Councillor Doug Craig introduced the motion, warning that combining the two roles could create conflicts of interest and concentrate too much executive power in one person under Ontario’s Strong Mayor and Strong Chair systems.
Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe backed the motion, calling the combination of Strong Mayor and Strong Chair powers “a recipe for disaster.” She also argued that Strong Mayor powers have not necessarily accelerated housing approvals.
Craig and McCabe also criticized Ontario’s decision to appoint the next Regional Chair rather than have the position filled through an election.
Waterloo Region residents have directly elected their Regional Chair since 1997. Under the province’s new governance rules, Ontario will appoint the next Chair following the 2026 municipal election.
Regional Council passed Craig’s motion unanimously. The resolution will now go to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, local MPPs, area municipalities and other affected regional municipalities.

Haley called in for this show from the fine town of Kingston, Ontario, where she will be living for the next year while completing a program at Queen’s. Haley played a composition she made as part of the Sandhills Lawn Games Club (a Shalaka Jadhav project), an event to reclaim the playing of games in public spaces. We then talked about Soundscapes, played some field recordings Dave took over the years, and explored the work of R. Murray Schafer, inviting listeners to engage in some of the “Ear Cleaning Exercises” Schafer detailed in a book called “A Sound Education: 100 Exercises in Listening and Sound-Making”.

| 4m27s | The guests introduce themselves, and what Youth in Food Systems is. Luma lists the locations of the markets and the gardens, and tell us what they do there. Manahil, Jahanvi, and Noor tell us what they do at the markets and the gardens. | ||
| 10m08s | Jahanvi, and Manahil tell us how they got involved. Partly it’s the compulsory 40 volunteer hours that high school students need, but that’s only the start. | ||
| 12m40s | Luma is not a volunteer but a program assistant. She tells us how she got involved. She loves gardening, and wants to support the youth in the program. She tells us more about the program: 50 youth, six to seven in each garden, and seven to eight at the markets. There are four program assistants. Funding comes from some of the partner organizations listed on the YFS website. When the program ends Luma will continue going out the gardens. She’s flexible about entering a leadership career or an agricultural career. | ||
| 16m40s | Noor, Manahil, and Jahanvi tell us about their plans for the future. Bob asks about getting their hands dirty in the garden, but they’re OK with that. | ||
| 22m40s | Manahil tell us how she learned to garden. Luma tells us about the educational aspects of the program. | ||
| 25m25s | Bob explores agricultural careers with Jahanvi, the effects of knowing where food comes from with Noor, the funnest thing that Manahil has learned from the program, and if Luma has been in the gardens and got her hands dirty. | ||
| 31m22s | Bob asks if the gardeners have used their skills in places other than the YFS gardens. The YFS garden beds are at the schools where the gardeners go to school. They’ll join the school garden club to continue work in the gardens. | ||
| 39m13s | Bob asks Luma if there is a path to leadership for the participants, she expects the current gardeners to come back as program leaders. Bob asks about the structure of YFS, it’s a small team, only in Waterloo Region. Seeds of Diversity is the main organization, YFS is a part of that. The need for volunteers continues after the program ends. Luma says pay attention to YFS Instagram page @youthinfoodsystems, also Cameron Heights Eco Club’s Instagram page: @chci_community.garden. Sign-up for next year’s program may begin as early as March. You can also join later in the year. Jahanvi tells us of Volunteer Waterloo Region, which also directs people to YFS. Applying to YFS is easier than applying for a job. | ||
| 44m20s | Manahil is definitely coming back next year, Noor will do this until she graduates. Jahanvi is feeling the stress of applying for university, but will join again. | ||
| 45m55s | The most valuable advice Noor offers is that students shouldn’t do this only for the volunteer hours. Manahil advises people to engage, read your e-mail. The most difficult thing Jahanvi learned is stepping out of her comfort zone. Noor says she’s an extrovert, that helps make people comfortable. Manahil says be yourself, don’t change your personality for others. | ||
| 51m24s | Luma sums up the desiderata of YFS, and gives out contact info. Bob gives the end credits. | ||
