PODCAST: CTV Ottawa News at Six for Thurs. May 21st, 2026

Last Summer, the NCC made plenty of waves when they opened Dow's Lake to swimmers. And while it has plenty of summertime amenities, people are skeptical if the water is clean enough. We dig deeper in Hour 3 with Banu Ormeci, the Director of the Carleton Global Water Institute. Speaking of the outside scenery, the gardening season is blooming right now! We tackle your gardening questions with gardening expert Carson Arthur. But first, it's time to tackle today's Question of the Day. Do people have unrealistic expectations for entry-level jobs? Text into the show and let us know.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. May 21st, 2026

As we mentioned during Wednesday's program, Barrhaven West councillor David Hill has submitted an inquiry form to the Emergency and Protective Services Committee, voicing his concerns about today’s Lithium Ion batteries. Dating back to New Year's Day 2024, 54 blazes have been linked to these devices - 19 in 2024, 25 in 2025, and 10 so far in 2026. Hill drops by for a quick visit in Hour 2. Meantime, a city councillor in Ontario's biggest city wants to crack down on loud and obnoxious cars. How? With a bunch of sound cameras. We dig deeper with our Reality Check Panel.
