After record-breaking rainfall cancelled this year’s Canada Day fireworks – indirectly leaving future events in Barrhaven in doubt – organizers say a new core group of volunteers could be stepping forward. We dig deeper with Jackie Perez and Stefan Keyes, as we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.

Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Mon. July 6th, 2026

Almost 4,500 homes across Canada’s Capital have been impacted by the Canada Day flood. Over the past few days, several local councillors and MPPs have signed an open letter, calling on the Ford government to make disaster relief funding available for affected residents. It’s called the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians – or DRAO for short. And in a news conference just now, Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe says the province is working to approve that program. In Hour 3, we check in with Tyler Watt, the Ontario Liberal MPP for Nepean. Then, we turn things over to the mighty CFRA Nation, as we tackle today’s Question of the Day. And finally, we talk politics with our Political Heat Panel, as the new federal public service mandate officially kicks in.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. July 6th, 2026

A string of thunderstorms slammed right into the National Capital Region on Canada Day, as 118 millimetres of rain fell from the sky. The endless downpour cancelled a string of Canada Day activities and left over 3,200 basements flooded. Less than a week later, lots of basements are still waterlogged. In fact, many are still waiting to hear from their insurance provider about the next steps they should take. Is there any way that homeowners and businesses can expedite that process? And in the case of a significant weather event, what should you do if you’re waiting around in a waterlogged property? Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Rob de Pruis in Hour 2. He is the National Director of Consumer and Industry Relations at the Insurance Bureau of Canada. Then, we check in with Knoxdale-Merivale councillor Sean Devine, who represents one of the city’s hardest-hit areas.
