Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Mon. June 29th, 2026

A warning to our listeners that portions of Hour 2 are deeply disturbing. Two children have been found dead in a double murder-suicide, according to the Ottawa Police Service. At around 10 o’clock this morning, officers conducted a wellness check at a home on Mandevilla Crescent in Ottawa’s Findlay Creek neighbourhood. Police say – tragically – a 7-year-old boy and a 12-year-old boy were found deceased. An investigation is now underway, and authorities say it is very complex. Guest host Chris Holski digs deeper with Chris Lewis, a former OPP Commissioner. On a lighter note, Canada Day is a few days away, and plenty of local events are unfolding on July 1st. We take a ride to Barrhaven, where preparations are underway for the Mattamy Homes Canada Day celebrations.
