Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Wed. January 15th, 2025

The city’s Planning Committee has approved a motion from Somerset councillor Ariel Troster, which would allow for the development of a renovictions bylaw. Troster says she wants the municipality to do more to halt unnecessary renovictions, especially in cases that involve Ottawa’s seniors. She joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 4. Despite a recent string of longtime tenants moving away from the ByWard Market, new data shows that the heartbeat of the Downtown Core saw a 19 percent increase in visitors last year. What exactly sparked that slight uptick? Plus, a woman who just won the lottery says she won’t be sharing her earnings with her family. That’s because she was recently excluded from a family trip. Fair or downright foul?
