Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. June 24th, 2026

Back in 2024, the Ford government expanded the speed limits on a section of 400 Series highways. Two years later, they are doing it again, and the new limit will be 110-kilometres-per-hour. Ontario Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sakaria says the bulk of the work will be done throughout July and August, and insists that these changes will help people and goods move more readily provincewide. Should Ontario raise its speed limits? And, if you don’t mind us asking, how fast do you drive? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meanwhile at the Ottawa Courthouse, a teenager is on trial for the death of a Barrhaven crossing guard, and the actions he took after the car accident unfolded. CTV’s Katie Griffin has more on that. And in lighter news, the Ottawa Catholic School Board says it will be reversing proposed changes to its Bus Attendant Program. We gather reaction from Sadie Lajoie, whose daughter relies on this service to get around.
