Ottawa Now - City Council calls on Ford government to keep speeding cameras in school zones
October 22, 2025
Ottawa City Council is the latest municipality to wage a war against the Ford government over speed cameras. Earlier today, they unanimously passed a motion from Beacon Hill-Cyrville councillor Tim Tierney, calling on the province to keep photo radar cameras in school zones.

Councillor Tierney joins Kristy Cameron on today's Ottawa Now.
