Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Fri. July 11th, 2025

View descriptionShare

Andrew Pinsent is filling in for Kristy Cameron this afternoon. As we heard last month, the province is assuming control of a quartet of school boards. One of them is Ottawa’s largest. And ever since a knock on the door from the provincial supervisor, there has been a ‘communications blackout’ at the OCDSB, as trustees and school officials are now locked out of their work accounts. Trustee Lyra Evans pays us a visit in Hour 1 to address an uncertain future. Meantime, we have officially entered Day 2 of RBC Bluesfest, as the crowds continue to roll into LeBreton Flats. On the second-to-last day of this year’s festivities, an Ottawa-based pop-punk band will be taking the stage. Andy chats with We Were Sharks vocalist Randy Frobel. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
