Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. November 1st, 2024

Stop the recording if you’ve heard this sentence before: Downtown parking prices are going up. This time, it’s throughout the ByWard Market, an area that used to be considered the heartbeat of Ottawa’s core. Rideau-Vanier councillor Stephanie Plante explains further in Hour 2. Meantime, if you want to cheer yourself up after hearing that price hike, perhaps a movie flick on a Saturday night is a good place to start. Matt Demers has got you covered with his Weekly Movie Picks. Fingers crossed your wallet isn’t whimpering as much after that trip to the nearby cinema.
