Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. June 20th, 2025

June 20, 2025

One person has been sent to hospital with life-threatening injuries after a two-car Eastbound collision on Highway 417, paralyzing traffic late-Thursday morning and stretching into the start of the Afternoon rush-hour. How did all of this mid-day traffic circus impact your commute? And when our city is faced with a serious collision, especially on a major highway, how can we avoid the chaos that ensues? That question was posed to Tim Tierney, the Chair of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, in Hour 2. He believes that better technology, as well as ‘ring roads’, could reduce potential congestion for any type of crash that our municipality deals with. The councillor for Beacon Hill-Cyrville joins Kristy Cameron for a lengthy conversation. Plus, the new Summer season has finally arrived! In the midst of a heated trade war, are you planning any stay-cation days? CTV Ottawa’s Dylan Dyson has some helpful tips. Plus, as the Dragon Boat Festival kicks into high-gear this evening, organizers are cleaning up a mess from Thursday’s messy weather.
