Local news, community events, weather, and music — broadcasting for Petawawa and the Ottawa Valley.
Petawawa Radio is a live stream built around the things that matter most to people living here. Throughout the day, you'll hear local news from around Petawawa and Renfrew County, weather updates for the Ottawa Valley, and a rundown of upcoming community events — from town council meetings and base activities to weekend festivals and seasonal markets.
Between segments, the station plays a relaxed mix of easy listening music designed to sit comfortably in the background — whether you're working from home, running a shop on Petawawa Boulevard, or just going about your day. Think of it as your local soundtrack, not a jukebox.
Programming rotates regularly so you're hearing fresh content, not the same loop. News and weather are updated throughout the day, and the events calendar reflects what's actually coming up in the community each week.
Community news from Petawawa, Pembroke, and across Renfrew County — plus current weather and forecasts for the region
What's coming up around town — municipal events, base activities, markets, fundraisers, and things to do with the family
A relaxed mix that works in the background — at home, at the office, or in your shop
Petawawa is a town where people are constantly arriving and leaving. Military postings bring families here from across Canada, often with little notice and less context about where they've landed. Meanwhile, long-time Valley residents have watched local media options shrink — community papers folding, radio stations consolidating into regional feeds that barely mention Petawawa by name.
That's the gap this station fills. If you just got posted to CFB Petawawa and want to know what's happening around town, turn it on. If you've lived here for twenty years and want a local station that actually covers local things, it's here for that too. Petawawa Radio is one part of how PETAWAWA.com is trying to keep this community connected and informed — alongside our events calendar, local weather, and weekly newsletter.
