Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. October 8th, 2026

We are less than one week away from the CTV Ottawa Mayoral Debate. The final day of Advanced Polling is next Friday. Voting Day is October 26th. How much do property taxes factor into your final decision? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, today’s edition of In The Garden with Carson Arthur is going to be a tough one to stomach. As we head into Thanksgiving Weekend, the colder weather is fast approaching, so this unfortunately seems like the best time to put a bow on this year's crop of questions. And so, until the next gardening season begins, this highly-requested series will be headed into hibernation. Carson joins the program for a 2026 victory lap. Plus, the Ottawa Senators’ season is just getting started, as Sens Army gears up for tonight’s Home Opener against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. October 8th, 2026

Ottawa Public Health is alerting residents to several possible measles exposure locations, which appear to be connected with two confirmed infections in Canada’s Capital. In a news release earlier today, OPH said the two residents were exposed to measles outside of Ontario, and that the risk to the general population remains low. So how exactly do measles spread, and how can people know if they’re at risk? Kristy Cameron checks in with Dr. Michelle Foote, the Associate Medical Officer of Health at Ottawa Public Health. Shifting gears back to the municipal election campaign, we’ve got a big mayoral debate coming up in less than a week, and property taxes are top of mind. We dig deeper in Hour 2 with our Reality Check Panel.
