A group of Ottawa-based Liberal MPP’s were pushing the Ford government for answers this week about a wide range of local issues. Of course, the highly-anticipated upload of Highway 174 and Ottawa’s LRT was mentioned in detail. However, it was the brand-new Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus that served as the headlining act, as many are hoping for clarity on the updated cost and timeline of the project.

Over the coming weeks, the Ford government will cease funding for Ottawa’s remaining safe consumption sites – the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre on Nelson Street and a trailer operated by Ottawa Inner City Health at the ByWard Market Shepherds of Good Hope.
