The Week In Review
Funding for safe consumption sites ends on Saturday.
OC Transpo prepares for a federal return-to-office mandate, as it introduces an ambitious hiring plan.
As one of Ontario’s fastest-growing cities, Ottawa city councillors are concerned about how the municipality will continue pay for that growth, as changes to development charges loom overhead.
The latest updates to Bill 9.
The Adisoke Library delays.

Interviews

The Adisoke Library project is at least a year behind schedule, and nearly double its original budget. City Staff are not optimistic that a 2026 opening is in the cards. How often are projects of this magnitude delayed, and why? Are the original budgets ever close? Michael Velo, a prominent Canadian construction lawyer and author, speaks to CFRA about the disruptions and pitfalls of large capital projects.

Ottawa city councillor Tim Tierney has been elected President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Tierney joins CFRA to discuss its national priorities, and helps place those issues into local context, particularly when it comes to Ottawa's infrastructure.
