Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Tues. June 10th, 2025

June 10, 2025

It’s not just fewer Canadians travelling to the United States, but also fewer Americans travelling to Canada. According to StatsCan, the number of car trips that Americans took to visit Canada declined by 10.7 percent in April and 8.4 percent in May. Those data drops are compared to what we saw in April and May of last year. And when we look at air travel through the same lens, the trend continues.

Today, one tourism association is aiming to change those toxic beliefs with their latest advertising rollout. Kristy Cameron chats with Shanny Halle, a spokesperson for Quebec’s Eastern Townships Tourism. It’s a region in Southeastern Quebec that hovers around the U.S. border. Plus, we are taking applications for Kristy’s Summer Job Centre, starting today and rolling right into Friday! Last year, Munster-based Saunders Farm received enough funding to hire 30 summer workers. This year, they couldn’t hire a single summertime employee after their funding approvals were rejected by the feds. Angela Grant-Saunders has more on that.
