Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Tues. January 20th, 2026

Family and friends of Tysen Lefebvre, a beacon of light who helped raise $1 million for Make-A-Wish Canada, will be gathering as one to honour his legacy. Tysen’s celebration of life is being held tonight at the Canadian Tire Centre, while the Sens visit Columbus. Linda Lefebvre, Tysen’s mom, joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. Meantime, the subject of free transit has long been mulled over in Canada’s Capital. And now, a dedicated group of volunteers want to make that vision a reality, starting with non-peak hours. Nick Grover, an executive member of Free Transit Ottawa, pays us a visit. They have been around since 2017. Plus, a new study says that more than half of Canadian shoppers are open to A.I. completing customer purchases. CFRA’s Chris Holski has more on that.
