Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Mon. July 21st, 2025

Chris Holski is filling in for the vacationing Kristy Cameron today. Like many of our listeners, he attended the Green Day concert at RBC Bluesfest on Friday night. To say the least, the atmosphere was far from plain. Holski delivers his unfiltered breakdown, and also shouts out the opening acts who kicked maximum ass. Meantime, you know what doesn't kick ass? Traffic congestion. The City of Toronto is hoping that a Chief Congestion Officer can provide an urgent elixir to Canada's biggest city. In the midst of our current traffic hiccups and inconveniences, do you think Canada's Capital needs one? We pose that question to Yasser Hassan, a Professor in Transportation Engineering at Carleton University. He is also the Chair of Carleton’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, studying the effects of driver behaviour and traffic safety on a regular basis. Plus, as we dig deep into the dog days of a Canadian summer, it's a good time to highlight the importance of drowning prevention. Sean Duffy from the Lifesaving Society of Ontario pays us a visit in Hour 1, as we kick off National Drowning Prevention Week.

Born and raised in Montreal, Norman Marshall Villeneuve was taught to tap dance by his older brother. As a preteen he studied piano with the great instructor Daisy Peterson-Sweeney, sister of Oscar Peterson. Another legendary jazz pianist, Oliver Jones, was a cousin who, like Mr. Peterson, lived nearby.The tutoring in the other disciplines notwithstanding, he instead became one of Canada’s greatest bebop drummers.
