Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. February 27th, 2025
February 27, 2025
It’s a snowy and slushy Election Day in Ontario, as our province prepares to elect its 44th government. The PC Party remains focused on the economy, while the Liberals are eager to deliver urgent changes to our healthcare system. For the NDP, housing and affordability is their primary mantra. Have you decided who to vote for, or are you keeping your election ballot at home? If it’s the latter, what stopped you? Kristy Cameron sifts through the textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, a local food bank that is running out of ‘schoolyard portables’ is due for a much-needed upgrade, and it appears they will get one. That’s because the City of Ottawa is preparing to install a new zoning amendment, which would allow the Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard to occupy the ground floor of a mixed-use building in Beacon Hill South. Tim Foran, one of the food bank’s board members, joins the program in Hour 3.
