We kick off this week’s CTV Your Morning Ottawa Podcast with the incredible student-run, non-profit, Capital Aid. Students and co-founders Matteo Maina and Audrib Amin aren't just juggling their own heavy school workloads – they are also providing free tutoring and crucial support to newcomer families across the city. Meantime, big changes are coming to Ontario classrooms this year, as Financial Literacy officially joins the high school curriculum. To tell us why this is a massive win for the next generation, we chat with Marc Rouleau from Doyle Salewski, who dissects the critical importance of mastering money early in life. Plus, we end this week’s show with a powerful message from one of Bell Media Ottawa’s finest – an up-close-and-personal interview with the phenomenal Ziyada Callender. After a brutal double bout with cancer that nearly took her life, she fought back with the help of sublime determination and the assistance of the world-class medical team at The Ottawa Hospital. To show her gratitude, she laced up her walking shoes, threw on a reflective vest, and walked over 200 kilometres through two provinces to raise funds for the institution that saved her life. What she discovered about herself during that long walk back proved that the hardest roads often lead to the deepest healing.
