Downtown Ottawa is going to the dogs this weekend, as merchants and business owners in the ByWard Market welcome our canine companions. Joining us with a quick preview of the ‘ByWard Barket’ is Zach Dayler, the Executive Director of the ByWard Market District Authority. Plus, a pair of recent reports paints a grim warning for today’s children, as a global concern strengthens. Last year, UNICEF says that 333 million children were living in extreme poverty, and living on less than $2.15 USD per day. Andy Pinsent gets the bigger picture from Geoffrey Johnston, an International Affairs columnist with the Kingston Whig-Standard.
