Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. May 14th, 2026
May 14, 2026
Thanks to recent changes by the Ford government, Ontario's Open and Closed menu for Victoria Day is looking a little bit different this year. And the next year. And the year after that. CFRA's Chris Holski explains why. Meantime, Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe has introduced a motion to cut monthly patio fees for the entire Summer. Typically, the monthly patio permit rental rate is $16.49 per square metre. If approved, that extra expense gets wiped away during the warmest months of 2026, which would do a world of good for Downtown business owners. How much relief would this provide? Is this a discount that our municipality can afford? We dig deeper in Hour 2 with our Reality Check Panel.
The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is shifting its explanation for why it isn’t marching in this summer’s Capital Pride parade, saying two years of "political activism and unplanned disruptions" have triggered worries about student safety. Parade organizers say the event will be safe and secure.
