Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. August 15th, 2025

It might be humid and sunny today (again), but don’t tell that to a bunch of Ottawa’s city-run pools, as they prepare to shutter their doors and call it a season. With English schools not returning for another 2 weeks, and the humid forecasts still lingering around, are we making this call way too early? Joining us in Hour 2 to launch this debate is Keith de Silvia-Legault, an Ottawa-based journalist and community organizer. She is also on the Board of Directors for Horizon Ottawa. On a totally different subject, besides the scorching heat and the increased wildfires, have you noticed something different compared to previous Summers? If you guessed the lack of a ‘Summer Song’ dominating the airwaves, you might be getting warmer. CFRA’s Chris Holski explains why the 'Summer Music' well might be running a little dry in 2025.
