Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Mon. June 9th, 2025

June 9, 2025

As we head closer and closer to the June scorchers, are we ready for the next heatwave? According to the City of Ottawa’s Climate Resiliency Strategy, more than 1-in-3 residents lack the means to stay cool when we get hit with one. As a result, health-related risks for those residents go up. Here in Canada’s Capital, landlords are required by law to ensure that indoor temperatures stay above a minimum Celsius reading in the Winter months. Today, health advocates say we need to implement a similar approach during those humid Summer months, and prevent apartment rooms from turning into saunas. Kristy Cameron chats with Robb Barnes, a Climate Program Director at the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment. Shifting gears to our city’s trash, the Trail Road Landfill is expected to reach capacity within the next 10 to 15 years. So, once again, what do we do with Ottawa’s unwanted garbage? In the latest gameplan, City Council has five options on the table. We rekindle the debate with Waste Watch Ottawa co-founder Duncan Bury.
