Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. May 24th, 2024

Your favourite beer and wine products will soon be coming to a cornerstore near you, and faster than you think. The first part has been a pretty vocal promise for a while now. However, the final stages of this plan are being sped up, as liquor will be on the shelves by September. Is this process far too rushed? And if you are looking for alcohol, are you sticking with the beer store instead of this new alternative? Kristy Cameron tackles today’s Question of the Day. Plus, Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend is just days away from kicking off, and Ottawa’s Mayor will be participating! With 50 years of history now on display, there is plenty to see and do at this year’s festivities. Executive Director Mike Vieira drops by the Ottawa Now studios with a quick preview.
