Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. July 3rd, 2025

July 3, 2025

A new pilot project in Quebec will be delaying closing hours for numerous stores in select markets. The City of Gatineau is among the crowd, although their grocery stores and pharmacies won’t be affected. And once the 365-day experiment has ended, conversations will begin as to whether the entire province should get on board. What stores, businesses, or services do you find close way too early? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Here in Canada’s Capital, the total number of homeless individuals has reached new levels, according to the City of Ottawa’s 2024 Housing Needs Assessment. And if critical housing investments are not made, that data is bound to get even worse. We dig deeper with Katie Burkholder-Harris, the Executive Director of the Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa. And speaking of digging, it’s a Thursday afternoon, which means gardening expert Carson Arthur is here to address your gardening dilemmas.
