Hey Kenora! It’s Caleb from 89.5 The Lake. Today’s show was packed! From reflections on Truth and Reconciliation to Blue Jays celebrations. If you missed it, I got you covered. But be sure to tune in between 2 and 6pm, Monday to Friday, for the full experience!
Truth and Reconciliation: More Than a Day Off
Tomorrow is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It’s a time to reflect, listen, and learn. At 89.5 The Lake, we’re joining stations across Canada for A Day to Listen. This will be a special broadcast amplifying Indigenous voices and stories.
This isn’t just a day off. It’s a day to remember the children who never came home, the families who carry that pain, and the communities still healing. So, between errands and football practice, why not take a moment? Tune in. Talk with your kids. Healing starts with listening. And listening starts with us.
Canada Post Strike: Snail Mail Meets Snowbanks
Canada Post workers are on strike, and it’s not just about stamps. Ottawa wants to end door-to-door delivery, which could hit seniors and small businesses hard. Especially in places like Kenora.
That said, where there is crisis there is opportunity. I had an idea that may or may not work. And someone used our TBay Tel Talk and Text line to give me their thoughts. Take a listen!
Blue Jays Fever: From Worst to First!
The Toronto Blue Jays just clinched the AL East title for the first time in a decade! They crushed Tampa Bay 13–4 and now skip straight to the Division Series with home-field advantage.
So grab your Jays cap, fire up the nachos, and get ready for some very Canadian October baseball. It’s not just a win for Toronto, it’s a win for Canada!

Call Me Maybe…
I couldn’t help but mention this video again. I love song breakdowns like this, and this is definitely one of my favourite pop songs of the last decade.
