Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. June 18th, 2025

June 18, 2025

A new study from CAA, which was powered by Artificial Intelligence, has uncovered a series of major concerns that pedestrians and cyclists are facing every day. In some cases, they are dodging ‘life-threatening’ commute bullets. Joining Kristy Cameron to discuss further is Julie Beun, the Managing Director of Communications and Public Relations with CAA North and East Ontario. She says a group of cameras were recently set up at the intersection of Merivale and Viewmount to record data, and they were stunned at the number of collisions and close calls that played out. Meantime, trustees at Ottawa’s largest school board have approved a $1.24 billion budget, which includes $18.1 million worth of cuts. Approved by the Budget Committee last week, there wasn’t much of a debate on Tuesday night when the trustees gave the green light. However, out of the trio of trustees that voted on the plan, one of them rejected it. That was Lyra Evans, and we find out why in Hour 2. Plus, a missing Montreal toddler has been found alive near St. Albert, Ontario – and not far from a very busy highway. CFRA's Andrew Pinsent delivers the details.
