Ottawa Now - New program in Canada's Capital links children with volunteer grandmothers

This week on the CTV Your Morning Ottawa Podcast, we're diving into the sweet and not-so-sweet aspects of Valentine's Day with a psychotherapist. Meantime, the world of music isn't just confined to concert halls, as the beauty of sound can sometimes lie in the everyday items we use. We tune into the National Arts Centre's Festival of Surprising Sounds. We're also getting inspired by a local health movement, which is so big that it even caught Mayor Sutcliffe’s attention. Plus, we are championing the vital cause of encouraging girls in sports, with the loudest cheers coming from the most unexpected places.
