Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. June 22nd, 2026

The Salvation Army’s Shelter Project in Vanier isn’t going ahead. At least, not as originally planned. The brand-new Centre of Hope was planned for 333 Montreal Road, and it had been somewhat controversial. It was originally planned to open in either 2025 or sometime in 2026. Instead, it has stalled out. Kristy Cameron chats with Drew Dobson in Hour 3. He is the President of SOS Vanier, a residents’ group that he founded to help promote alternative solutions to homelessness. Then, we turn our attention to European politics, as Britain’s Prime Minister exits stage-right. We sink our teeth into Keir Starmer’s resignation with our Political Heat Panel.
