Employees at the Queensway-Carleton Hospital recently dealt with the facility’s busiest day in 47 years of operation. While it appears that our city’s RSV levels have peaked, influenza transmission remains a primary concern for Ottawa’s top doctor. Furthermore, COVID-19 levels are also rising, and they might not slow down anytime soon if the new subvariant gains traction. Lianne Learmonth is the Director of Medicine, Childbirth, Mental Health, and Palliative Care at the QCH. She joins Andrew Pinsent on today’s edition of CFRA Live.

As the temperatures warm up this weekend, Canada’s Capital is also bracing for a decent amount of rain. And thanks to that Winter thaw, the risk of flooding is rising, as some residents are already being told to exercise caution around their property. In fact, floods are the most frequently-occurring natural hazard in all of Canada, taking place five times as often as wildfires. Can technology help us understand or mitigate the impacts of flooding? Andrew Pinsent digs deeper with Hossein Bonakdari, a Professor of Engineering at the University of Ottawa.

This week, a trio of impressive wins by Linus Ullmark has given the Ottawa Senators a little bit of breathing room in a razor-thin Wild Card race. Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle, and Jake Sanderson have also played an instrumental role in this current 6-game win streak. But leading the charge since his arrival from Buffalo has been two-way centre Dylan Cozens, better known as the 'Workhorse from Whitehorse'. CFRA Live technical producer Stephen Ellsworth explains how this year's Senators are controlling their own destiny.
