PODCAST: CFRA's House Calls for Sun. September 6th, 2026

Welcome to this week’s edition of Simply Ottawa – a Sunday subsection of CFRA Weekends. Would you like to play a game? A 150-year-old Heritage building on Waller Street – located within striking distance of Ottawa’s ByWard Market – has countless ways to test your brain and fuel the fun. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent chats with Mike Hopkins, the co-owner of Level One Game Pub. Meantime, World Lymphoma Day is September 15th, and it’s a day that’s on the minds of 100,000 Canadians. That’s because it is a battle they are currently fighting. In a show of support, a month-long challenge is being held to raise awareness about this disease, and to also explain how this battle is impacting the families affected. We check in with Tammy and Tina Copp, whose parents are fighting that hard fight. In local entertainment news, a Juno-nominated Blues musician will be spending some time at The Black Sheep Inn this coming Friday. Today, J.W. Jones visits the Hal Anthony studios. Plus, following months of anticipation and promotion, the IWBF Wheelchair Basketball World Championships are finally here! The 11-day spectacle launches this Wednesday, and it’s right in our own backyard. We hear from Wendy Gittens, the CEO of Wheelchair Basketball Canada.
