Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Fri. May 1st, 2026
May 1, 2026
Believe it or not, it’s the first day of May, which means the municipal election cycle is officially underway. As of this morning, councillor and mayoral candidates were allowed to submit their candidacy paperwork, as opposed to just verbally declaring their intentions to run for office.

We assemble a special edition of the Municipal Heat Panel in Hour 1. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
