Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Mon. September 21st, 2026

Over 300 parents are backing a petition for a crossing guard and flashers near two West End schools. It follows a series of close calls between students and vehicles – and we’re only 3 weeks into a brand-new school year. We are lighting up an old flame on today’s Question of the Day: How do we fix this problem? Kristy Cameron takes your calls and sifts through the CFRA textboard. Meantime, a neighbourhood in Ottawa’s Southwest End is expressing serious concerns of a different kind, as multiple incidents show teenagers smashing down doors and damaging homes. One of these occasions was caught on camera last week. Knoxdale-Merivale councillor Sean Devine fills us in. Plus, the House of Commons is back in session, and Canada’s Labour Code might be the first big item up for discussion. We dig deeper in Hour 3 with our Political Heat Panel.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. September 21st, 2026

A scary scene unfolded in Ottawa’s West End yesterday, as an early-evening kitchen fire on Lockhart Avenue caught Ottawa Fire’s undivided attention. They found a man with no vitals, but were fortunately able to resuscitate him. We get the latest developments from Nick Defazio, a Public Information Officer for Ottawa Fire Services. Meantime, contract talks are slated to resume between PSAC and Canada’s Treasury Board. The Public Service Alliance of Canada says two days’ worth of talks are scheduled for this week, and it comes on the heels of potential changes to Canada’s Labour Code. PSAC National President Sharon DeSousa drops by for a visit in Hour 2. Plus, a Windsor native and Michigan resident is celebrating Canadiana Fest, an annual tradition that she started in 2023 to celebrate her culture alongside her American neighbours. Today, we get to meet her.

Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Mon. September 21st, 2026

Over 300 parents have signed a petition calling for crossing guards and flashers. It comes after too many close calls in a West End neighbourhood – with two schools not far from the corner of Charing and Bertona Road. Amanda Charbonneau, the parent who started the petition, says the intersection is especially dangerous for kids during rush-hour times. Kristy Cameron checks in with Rob Attrell, an advocate for the School Streets Initiative and an urbanism consultant. Meantime, the City of Ottawa is funding a pilot project to get portable ramps into the hands of local businesses. A non-profit called StopGap Ottawa had been making and selling ramps since 2015, but halted operations this Spring due to a lack of demand. Ottawa resident Kyle Humphrey decided to pick up the remaining materials and take up the cause himself. He joins us in Hour 1. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
