Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. July 17th, 2025
July 17, 2025
Chris Holski is filling in for Kristy Cameron, who is a little under the weather today. Speaking of the weather, Canada's Capital is under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch to start the afternoon. And in recent Summers, we've dealt with a couple of doozy storms. Do they peak your curiosity, or do they simply scare the daylight out of you? Environment Canada meteorologist Ian Hubbard joins the program in Hour 1 with his thoughts, and he delivers an outlook of what Ottawa is dealing with right now. Plus, do you remember Quebec's restaurant no-show fees? They've been talked about for a few years, and now they are officially in place. CFRA's Andrew Pinsent fills us in.

From its earliest days, the Avon River has been the heart of the community of Stratford, Ont. The centrepiece of the river, known as Lake Victoria, was created in the 1830s as a millpond for industry. The parks board later convinced the city to invest in horse-drawn scoops to dredge the lake. Locals warded off railroad proposals along the shorelines, where roses from Queen Mary were planted. A pair of swans from Queen Elizabeth arrived in 1967.
