Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. April 23rd, 2025
April 23, 2025
The Beer Store is set to close its Carling Avenue location later this Spring. Once the doors are officially shuttered on June 15th, it will mark the second Ottawa-based Beer Store closure of 2025. This sudden exit leaves Ontarians with a lot of long-term questions, as the province continues to expand the sale of alcohol to convenience stores and big box stores. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Rod Phillips, a Professor of History at Carleton University who also teaches a course on the history of alcohol. In other provincial news, the Ford government is set to launch a financial investigation into Ottawa’s largest school board, with overtures about the province possibly taking control of the OCDSB. In a statement released today, the Ministry of Education says an investigator will validate the school board’s current financial position. Then, they will recommend whether the Ministry should take charge or not. We go 1-on-1 with Education Minister Paul Calandra in Hour 2.

Last fall, as archeologist Yves Chrétien was supervising a team digging at the site of a future hockey rink northeast of Montreal, a mini excavator unearthed pieces of cut stone.Formed under an ancient sea, the stones bore marks made by Indigenous people somewhere between 6,150 and 8,200 years ago. The discovery, found below the site of a former Shell distribution centre and 18th and 19th century farms, could help shed light on the region’s little-known prehistoric period.
