Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. January 21st, 2026

A podcast is giving athletes a platform to open up about the emotional side of friendship, vulnerability, love, and loneliness. It is hosted by Dylan Playfair, an actor on Letterkenny, and Ty Smith, a former hockey player and a survivor of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash. Dylan joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. Another tool in the mental health toolbox is Kids Help Phone, Canada’s only nationwide 24/7 mental health service. It is free, confidential, and ready to help anyone who needs someone to talk to. President and CEO Aaron Sanderson pays us a visit on Bell Let’s Talk Day.
