Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. July 4th, 2024
July 4, 2024
Andrew Pinsent fills in for Kristy Cameron, as the Bluesfest crowds start to descend on LeBreton Flats. Several times on this talk-radio program, we have talked about reinventing the workweek wheel. The most common revision that people are calling for is the 4-day model, with the idea of an extended weekend dancing in our heads. But what about a 6-day workweek? Effective this month, it’s happening in Greece, as a handful of workplace sectors start to implement it. We dig deeper in Hour 1 with Diana Palmerin-Velasco, a Senior Director on the Future of Work at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Here at home, a crowd of Carlington residents will be meeting with the Shepherds of Good Hope and the City of Ottawa tonight, raising urgent concerns about a planned supportive housing building on Merivale Road. CTV’s Natalie Van Rooy delivers the details.

But tragedy struck last month when Nakoda’s two cubs were struck and killed by a vehicle, followed by their mother, killed in a second collision about 12 hours later.
