Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. July 2nd, 2026

We have been warned that this Summer was going to be a hot one. And over the past few Summer rounds, the weather warnings have been more frequent than usual.

Guest host Chris Holski sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today's Question of the Day. Then, we check in with Amber Bramer, the Director of Development and Communications at the Cornerstone Housing for Women. Like many in Canada’s Capital, Wednesday’s downpour hit them hard.
