We are receiving an update from the province today in regards to the high levels of lead in Ontario school drinking water. Parents at one Ottawa school were shocked to learn about the elevated levels of lead in that school's water supply.

And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.
