We replay our Wednesday Check-Up where we hear that housing is healthcare. Plus, compared to last year, the amount of e-scooter related injuries has ballooned dramatically, according to numbers released by CHEO. CTV's Austin Lee dives into the findings.

Then, we preview tonight's CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez and Stefan Keyes. And if news breaks in real time, you'll hear it live on CFRA's Ottawa Now.
