January 28, 2026
Police cold-case units face a new challenge in solving decades-old killings.

An Ottawa city councillor wants to ban feeding wild animals, and plans to introduce her motion to City Committee this Thursday. Laura Dudas is the voice for Orleans West-Innes. She argues that feeding wildlife can attract rodents, hence her request to tighten the present-day legislation. Dudas joins Kristy Cameron to explain further.
