Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. June 5th, 2025

June 5, 2025

Andrew Pinsent is filling in for Kristy Cameron today, as she guest hosts CTV Morning Live. And we might have a helpful life hack for anyone who is taking a chance on Downtown Ottawa this Summer! As the warm Summer months roll on, the City of Ottawa plans to deploy Night Ambassadors all across the ByWard Market. If you are looking for a good restaurant recommendation, or perhaps something as simple as a parking spot, they are here to serve. CFRA’s Chris Holski delivers the details. Later in Hour 1, we enter the homestretch of CHEO Telethon Week, as the community rallies around a beacon of hope for children’s healthcare in Eastern Ontario. If you would like to donate, the phone lines are open! Plus, the Ottawa Redblacks are in Saskatchewan tonight, as they prepare for the 2025 Season Opener! How good do you think they'll be this season? Text into the show and let us know.

Retailer Bath & Body Works is refuting a lawsuit filed by a woman who says she was severely burned by an exploding candle manufactured at a Canadian facility. Renita Francois says she was lighting the candle from Bath & Body Works, with a scent called Sweater Weather, on Jan. 19, 2023 in her home on Long Island, New York. She leaned in to smell the candle when “a sudden explosion erupted from the glass container, propelling molten wax and flames outward in every direction,” according to the lawsuit obtained by National Post. The explosion occurred “within moments” of lighting...
