Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Mon. June 1st, 2026

Aging roads and facilities are a key discussion point at City Hall this week, as a new Committee report outlines an infrastructure gap of nearly $230 million. City Staff warn that, without new investment, that number could balloon to $1 billion within the next 10 years. We gather the details from CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent. Meantime, a very important community fundraiser is unfolding this week, culminating into Saturday’s grand finale on CTV Ottawa. Leading up to this year’s CHEO Telethon, we’re speaking with people who work at the children’s hospital to help raise awareness and support for the vital services they provide. Today, we check in with Siobhan Boon-Devlin, who is a Grade 10 student at Canterbury High School. She studies in the Literary Arts Magnet Program, and is also a member of CHEO's Youth Forum. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
