Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. June 5th, 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! But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
