Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Tues. November 25th, 2025

The 2025 Ontario Coaching Report finds that hazing is far more common than you might expect. Based on a survey of athletes and unrelated parents, it finds that 1-in-7 athletes between the 6 to 9 age range have experienced some form of it. And when it comes to today’s early-teens, specifically in the 13 to 15 age range, 1-in-3 have dealt with it. Dr. Jay Johnson is a leading Canadian hazing researcher with 30 years of experience, and recently helped assemble the 2025 edition of this report. He joins the show in Hour 1. In local economic news, Nokia is breaking ground on what will become a nearly 1 million square-foot campus in Kanata.

But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
