Congratulations to Chris White, recipient of the 2026 Estelle Klein Lifetime Achievement Award from Folk Canada ⭐️

As the 2026 Folk Canada Conference continues in Hamilton, Chris is there connecting with fellow artists, broadcasters, and community builders who share his passion for folk music and the power of bringing people together through song.

A longtime member of the CKCU family, Chris has been producing and hosting Canadian Spaces since 2013, sharing folk and roots music with listeners every week on Canada’s longest-running folk radio show. Beyond the airwaves, Chris has served on CKCU’s Board of Directors and continues to support the next generation of broadcasters by mentoring high school students in radio and video production through co-op placements.

His contributions to the folk community span decades, from co-founding the Ottawa Folk Festival and the Home Routes national house concert network to championing community singing and creating opportunities for artists and audiences to connect through music.

We’re proud to celebrate Chris and congratulate him on this outstanding recognition!

Chris White forever 💛

CKCU FUNDING DRIVE 2026 📻 KEEP MEDIA HUMAN

From October 23 to November 8, we’re asking our listeners and supporters to turn up what matters and help raise $215,000 for independent, community-powered media!

In a world of misinformation, fake news, and AI-generated content, real human voices matter more than ever.

For 51 years, CKCU has connected volunteers, artists, listeners and communities through music, culture, news and ideas. Independent community media provides space for diverse voices, meaningful conversations and perspectives that might otherwise go unheard.

Your support helps protect that space and keep it growing!

Our 2026 Funding Drive officially begins October 23, but you can donate anytime.

Turn up what matters and keep media human! Donate today at www.ckcufm.com/donate 📡

Introducing your first speaker taking the stage at Chaos on November 5: Willemijn Bunskoek.

Willemijn is the Executive Director of @apt613, a community-driven platform that connects thousands of people each month to the power lines of Ottawa’s creative pulse. Originally from the Netherlands, Willemijn has spent the last decade telling stories on many different stages: from festivals and events to book publishing and neighbourhood storytelling. Eternally curious about how culture shapes a city, Willemijn believes in creating space for people to express themselves, leading with empathy and listening with intention to what makes them feel alive.

It takes courage to uproot one’s life, move across the world, and start fresh in a new city. With a colossal change like that, chaos is almost guaranteed to make an appearance. But as Willemijn tells us, there’s an art to finding solace in a space that wants to shake you, and like the subjects of her stories, everyone deserves the chance to be heard.

And that’s just what we’re providing this evening, Willemijn Bunskoek.

Chaos: Vol I
🗓️ When: Thursday, November 5 | 6 — 10 pm
📍 Where: @saw_centre

6.5 months, 18 shows, 8 cities, a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review from the Edmonton Journal, 2 countries, 1 canceled stop and now we are 2 cities and 5 shows away from the end of this tour.

It’s been a wild ride. I’m proud of the journey I’ve been on, the hard work we put in and the story we get to tell.

White As Snow has been my life for the last year and it felt right to make our last stop the one at home. It’s my dream to see a full room of friends, neighbours, homies, and friends to come in the audiences for those 3 nights.

Ottawa is the city that made me, the city where the play is set, and a city that no matter how far I wander and travel, will have a soft spot in my heart.

Can’t wait to share and hang with yall!!

We’re at Arts Court Studio October 14, 15, and 16 at 7:30. There will be a post show chat every night, featuring the incredible @wanderwomanweirdo, @mandaa_lowe and @shannasaidit hosting each night. And we’re having a Black Out Night on Friday the 16th.

Come through! Tickets are in the bio or comment “OTT” and I’ll send you a link!!

This fall is about to get chaotic. And we’re here for it ✌️

For nine issues, the ODC zine has captured the evolution of our creative community, one year at a time. Each publication represents a moment in time, preserving a little piece of Ottawa's creative history.

Now, we're getting ready to launch Zine 0009: CHAOS, our final numbered issue.

And we're doing things a little differently this time.

Two volumes. Two launches. One exploration of the messy, unpredictable and sometimes beautiful realities of chaos.

Through the perspectives of our creative community, CHAOS looks beyond the finished product to explore the contradictions, uncertainties and unexpected possibilities that come with making things, living life and figuring it all out along the way.

🗓️ Nov 5: Vol. I launch + speaker event @saw_centre
🗓️ Nov 18: Vol. II launch + finissage @fono.613
