Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Mon. December 22nd, 2025

With the colder temperatures officially here, should the City of Ottawa install more heated bus shelters? For context, some areas don't even have bus shelters, which can be a major inconvenience if bus routes are delayed. River Ward councillor Riley Brockington, who sits on the Transit Committee, pays us a visit in Hour 1. Then, we continue our Ottawa Now Gift Guide tour, with CTV Ottawa chief newsanchor Patricia Boal serving as today's co-pilot. But first, we bring you up to speed on today's top headlines.
