Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. November 27th, 2025
November 27, 2025
The City of Ottawa is moving ahead with discussions to purchase a private landfill. Opponents of the sale, including residents in nearby communities, have joined Osgoode’s councillor in criticizing the process. In fact, prior to Wednesday’s vote, the municipality had only provided two weeks’ notice that this option was even on the table. Osgoode councillor Isabelle Skalski pays us visit in Hour 2. Then, we shift gears to local healthcare, as Dr. Trevor Arnason from Ottawa Public Health drops by for his bi-weekly segment. Today’s conversation is all about managing children’s vaccines, cracking down on daycare outbreaks, and when you should make that call to keep your sick kids home.
