The City of Ottawa is trying to assemble a quick-fix solution for a newcomer reception centre, as it awaits results from the feds on a more permanent funding application. The proposal includes a pair of tent-like structures, which are capable of sheltering 300 people over a 90-day period. Here to discuss further is David Hill, the councillor for Barrhaven West and a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces. Meantime, WestJet has cancelled several flights ahead of a potential work disruption, an announcement that potentially throws a wrench into several Canada Day and Independence Day plans. Plus, an Ottawa lobbyist is speaking out about the dangers of today’s drugs, a topic that hits close to home after his father and brother died of Fentanyl overdoses.
