Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Tues. March 10th, 2026

A winter storm is quickly moving into the National Capital Region, as Ottawa is bracing for a Freezing Rain Warning all day tomorrow. And this could be bad news for, not just Ottawa’s power grid, but for city trees as well. How can you protect your trees during a storm like this? Joining us with some tips and tricks is Riley Sheldrick, who owns Russell-based Green Thumb Tree Specialists. We also get the latest updates on road preparations from Bryden Denyes, the City of Ottawa Roads Manager. Plus, students at Ottawa’s Adult High School are voicing concerns about upcoming curriculum changes, and how future programs will be delivered. We dig deeper in Hour 3 with Fatima‑Zahra Kajji, a 34-year-old who owns a High School diploma but wants to upgrade her Math and Science knowledge.
