New exclusive polling for CTV Ottawa shows that nearly half of residents believe helping those experiencing homelessness should be the city’s top priority, especially when it comes to improving the Downtown Core. Nanos Research surveyed 762 randomly-selected Ottawa residents between October 4th and 8th. Kristy Cameron checks in with Richard LeBlanc, the Executive Director of Centre 507, in Hour 1. Later in the program, you’ll also hear from Ottawa Mission CEO Peter Tilley. Meantime, that same Nanos poll has revealed that public transit is the biggest election issue, and it’s not even close. We sink our teeth into that subject with Ajay Ramachandran, a member with Better Transit Ottawa. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
