Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. March 21st, 2025

Today, Canada’s oldest retailer employs 9,364 people across 80 store locations, numbers that will certainly shrink once the liquidation sale begins on Monday. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with David Ian Gray, a Canadian retail advisor and the founder of DIG 360. Meantime, if you’re hoping to escape another mentally-draining news week, perhaps a trip to the local cinema will help soothe the soul. Matt Demers has got you covered in Hour 2 with his Weekly Movie Picks!
