Are you craving some popcorn at the local cinema before devouring a Thanksgiving turkey? If that sounds like you this weekend, Matt Demers has got you covered with his Weekly Movie Picks! Meantime, if you’re hitting the roads to attend any Thanksgiving gatherings, the OPP will certainly be watching closely. As part of Operation Impact, they will be on the lookout for aggressive and distracted driving, any form of impaired driving, and improper seatbelt usage.

We check in with Constable Michael Fathi in Hour 2. He is a Media Relations Officer with Ottawa’s OPP Detachment. Plus, a popular priest in The Glebe has passed away. CFRA’s Chris Holski reflects on the interesting life of Father Joe LeClair.
