It’s been yet another snail-paced commute on Highway 417 today, especially near Pinecrest Road. And as LRT signage takes out some precious lane space, the City of Ottawa is opening a bus-only on-ramp from Woodroffe to the Westbound side of the Queensway, in the hopes that it will ease some of the congestion. CTV’s Josh Marano delivers the details in Hour 4. Then, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Stefan Keyes. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. May 25th, 2026

It’s officially official. Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe will be running to keep his job in October’s municipal election, as he launches his campaign and prepares to submit his papers. However, his declaration day is followed by a noticeable stain. Experts are raising questions about a city-funded ad that was placed by Mayor Sutcliffe himself earlier this month. Skeptics are wondering if it followed the rules than bans city resources for election-related purposes. For added context, the ad was placed in a community newspaper the first week the election period opened after May 1st. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent drops by the Hal Anthony studios in Hour 2. Meantime, thousands of workers at community and social service agencies across Ontario are on strike today. That includes frontline community living and social service workers, Developmental Service Workers, addictions counsellors, Group Home Support Staff, and others. We check in with Shannon Waddell, a longtime Community Living employee and the President of OPSEU Local 472.
