Spring is in the air, and with it comes a fresh season of music and connection at CKUA.

Join us April 17–26 as we gather together to support the music, programs, and community that make CKUA unique. It’s a time to celebrate what connects us, and to help keep the beat.

Let’s launch CKUA’s Spring Fundraiser in Calgary with live music, special guests, and a live broadcast of Traffic Jams with hosts Lisa Wilton and Kate Stevens. Gather with old friends or make some new ones! Throughout the broadcast we will hear live performances and have visits from special guests. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Enjoy free tastings from Sea Change Brewing Co. too!

CKUA is a place where people come together: on the air, in person, and in spirit. Everything we do is working to build a stronger, more connected community.

As always, if you can’t make it in person, listen to the live broadcasts or keep an eye on our social media!

Throughout the fundraiser, you can donate here. We’d love to add your gift to the rising total!
