Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Fri. May 29th, 2026

An Ottawa city councillor is raising concerns about the Department of National Defense exploring the use of sports fields for parking lots, a move largely seen as an attempt to ease parking congestion at the DND’s Carling Avenue campus. Guest host Chris Holski checks in with Theresa Kavanagh, the voice of Bay Ward, in Hour 1. Later in the program, we reel in CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent for a couple of minutes, as he runs through a few alterations to the CFRA Weekends layout. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
