Your City News, now in one weekly email
September 9, 2025

If you have ever felt overwhelmed by the number of emails in your inbox every day, you are not alone.
That’s exactly what hundreds of Ottawa residents shared earlier this year through the City Buzz: Public Engagement and Communications Review. When asked how and when they would prefer to receive news from the City, the response was clear: many residents want fewer emails, more concise content and a simpler way to stay informed.
In response to this feedback, the City of Ottawa is launching the City News weekly round-up: a new email format that delivers a summary of the week's news products, every Thursday. Each edition includes brief summaries and links to full articles, making it easier to catch up on what matters, without the volume of daily notifications.
The results of the City Buzz survey helped shape this new option. While some residents appreciate receiving news as soon as it's published, 54 per cent of respondents said they would prefer a weekly newsletter. Another 87 per cent indicated they would rather receive short summaries with links rather than full articles in the body of the email.
The current version of City News, which delivers full stories as they are published daily, will continue for those who prefer more frequent updates. The new weekly round-up offers an alternative, designed for residents looking for a more efficient, simplified approach to staying informed.
Both versions are now available, giving residents more choice in how they engage with municipal news and services. To subscribe or to update preferences, visit our eSubscriptions sign up form.
Whether you prefer staying up to date as stories break or catching up once a week, City News now offers more flexibility to fit your inbox.
You will still get up-to-date emergency information
During emergencies or urgent situations, you need to know the latest and up-to-date information to ensure the safety and well-being of you and your household. But don’t worry, if you subscribe to the weekly newsletter, you will still receive the latest news when it’s issued – keeping you informed with the information you need.

An “important minority” of young Canadians say terrorism can be justified, according to a new poll tied to the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The poll, conducted by Leger for Association for Canadian Studies (ACS), revealed this ideology held by one in five Canadians under the age of 25. They likely “believe that the architects of terrorist attacks are themselves victims, and as such, they may conclude that the ends justify the means in pursuing the objective, however they choose to interpret it,” ACS president and CEO Jack Jedwab told National Post over email.

By the close of the first week of the forty-fifth federal election, Pierre Poilievre’s rhetorical shimmy shake was well practised. The quips, carefully written, had been frequently used. The lost Liberal decade. A new Conservative government that will put Canada first for a change. A big bring-it-home tax cut.
The Conservative Party spent the last years of the Justin Trudeau government honing this appeal to change, affordability, and ambition. It had targeted a strange alliance of young men who listened to crypto podcasts, growing families priced out of the suburbs, anti-vaxxers who...
