PODCAST: CFRA's Open House for Sat. November 14th, 2026

Welcome to this week’s edition of City In Review. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent is steering the ship. And here is what we are following!

The Week In Review
88th and final City Council meeting produces emotional goodbyes from some longtime councillors
Microsoft Outage affecting city businesses, residents asked to contact 311
City councilors to discuss payraise during inaugural meeting
2027 City Budget on the docket with 2.5% property tax increase
LRT East Extension update, Line 1 trains to start late on Sunday
Speed cameras need to be returned and updated: Former Ottawa Police Chief
Half Moon Bay residents say poor traffic management is putting the community in danger
Federal Budget offerings include cash for municipal rinks, funding mechanism still unclear

Federal support for community rinks

Local infrastructure needs have been part of the conversation for years, as Ottawa grapples with a projected infrastructure gap of $10 billion over the next 10 years. Aging infrastructure isn’t just an Ottawa-centric dilemma, as the federal government has earmarked $750 million over 9 years for renovations and improvements to deteriorating rinks across Canada. There's also an extra $750 million for other community recreation facilities – part of a larger 'Playground To The Podium' initiative to push for Canadian success on the world stage. Adam van Koeverden is the Liberal MP for Burlington North-Milton West and the federal Secretary of State for Sport. He spoke to City In Review about the new plans ahead of Saturday’s visit to the Russell Sportsdome.

City Issues Panel

A trio of new city councillors are set to be sworn in on Monday and they'll have a number of big challenges ahead – the largest being the 2027 City Budget process. Meantime, flood victims are still looking for answers, and the price tag for the new Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus is bigger than we thought. Joining this week’s City Issues Panel is Ottawa Citizen columnist and Substack writer Brigitte Pellerin and former City Hall reporter Jon Willing.

Catching up and looking ahead

Some other stories were bubbling at City Hall this week – including a potential health hub to serve the Stittsville and Kanata areas, an upcoming City Council debate about the twice-a-year time change, and a lawsuit by Manotick residents when it comes to truck traffic.

City In Review - The old City Council waves goodbye as a newer version takes hold on Monday

As part of the Carney government's 2026 Federal Budget, a 9-year commitment of improvements and renovations have been promised for a crowd of the country's deteriorating sports facilities. One of the biggest beneficiaries of this $750 million upgrade – our aging hockey rinks. How many of Ottawa’s icepads are in need of a facelift, and how many will get one in the near future? Adam van Koeverden, Canada’s Secretary of State for Sport and a former Olympian himself, joined CFRA's Andrew Pinsent ahead of his Saturday road trip to the Russell Sportsdome.
