Ottawa Now - Crossing guard's tragic death reopens debate about school zone intersection safety

March 24, 2026

An Ottawa crossing guard has died after he was struck by a truck near a Barrhaven elementary school. According to Ottawa Police, 55-year-old Peter Clark was working at Cedarview Road and Kennevale Drive at around 8:20 Monday morning when the incident took place. He was rushed to hospital and unfortunately didn't survive, while a 19-year-old male has since been arrested in connection to the hit-and-run. Meantime, families in Barrhaven are calling for immediate safety improvements around St. Juan Diego Catholic School after a child was seriously injured during pick-up and drop-off hours. Barrhaven West councillor David Hill says there are methods to fix these traffic problems, and he intends to assemble a team to discuss the problematic areas and implement solutions. Hill joins Kristy Cameron on today's Ottawa Now.

Leadership conventions sometimes generate unexpected results. For the NDP in 2026, there was very little to be surprised about: Avi Lewis, widely considered the frontrunner since the beginning of the race, clinched the NDP leadership on the first ballot with 56 percent of the vote. The day before, a Lewis-aligned “change, together” slate of candidates had swept the executive of the NDP, foreshadowing what was to come in the party’s leadership at the highest level. Today, they and their new leader are newly responsible for moving the party forward from a very challenging decade. Since...
