Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. May 15th, 2026

Somerset councillor Ariel Troster has been actively involved in addressing the safety and community impacts of a controversial ‘safer supply’ clinic. That would be Northwood Recovery, which relocated to Ottawa’s Chinatown sector in early-2025. It is known for prescribing hydromorphone to individuals with fentanyl addictions. And in recent months, Troster has called for an immediate review of these pharmacies. She joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. Meantime, are you craving a trip to the movie theatres this weekend? If so, Matt Demers has got you covered with his Weekly Movie Picks! Plus, the ‘unofficial Summer kickoff’ is this weekend, so why hasn’t the City of Ottawa reintroduced its alcohol-in-parks pilot project? CFRA’s Chris Holski poses some theories.
