Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Mon. June 1st, 2026

Summer is nearly upon us, and maybe you’re trying to decide whether or not to purchase that window A/C unit on Facebook Marketplace. Taking a gander at the first day of June, we are expecting a high of 22 degrees in Canada’s Capital, but there’s a chance of showers (and perhaps a thunderstorm) looming overhead. And now, Ottawa’s Summer forecast projections are available for all to see. How hot could it get? Kristy Cameron checks in with Doug Gillham, a meteorologist with The Weather Network. Meantime, the proposed high-speed rail line between Ottawa and Montreal is facing a roadblock east of Ottawa. The United Counties of Prescott-Russell is refusing to grant Alto access to municipal land to study the line. It has also declined to sign a non-disclosure agreement with Alto. Joining us in Hour 2 to explain further is Clarence-Rockland Mayor Mario Zanth, who is also the Warden for the United Counties. Plus, a Canadian food collaboration for the ages is upon us! BeaverTails and Kraft Dinner Canada have teamed up to form the KD Takeover – officially available at participating BeaverTails locations until August 9th. CFRA’s Chris Holski gives us the 4-1-1 on the flavours you can order.
