Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. July 3rd, 2025

July 3, 2025
Starting this Summer, as part of a new pilot project, certain stores in select Quebec cities will be open late on weekends. Gatineau is among the list of participants, with the province citing its geographical location near the Ontario border as a primary reason. Non-food businesses, ranging from boutique stores to market shops, will be allowed to stay open until 8PM on Saturdays and Sundays. However, this will not apply to grocery stores and pharmacies. And once the 365-day trial run has expired, a report will be published to determine whether the changes should be made permanent throughout Quebec. What stores or services do you find close too early? Which businesses have inconvenient hours that don’t align with your daily schedule? Kristy Cameron opens the debate floor with Michel Rochette, the Quebec President for the Retail Council of Canada. Meantime, regular operations have resumed at the Ottawa International Airport this afternoon following a series of bomb threats. These threats were targeting Ottawa’s NAV Canada facility, leading to several delays that impacted dozens of flights across the country. CTV’s Judy Trinh delivers the details.

A Mountie who was in the area searching for a missing swimmer was towing a police boat along Highway 12 northeast of the village in B.C.’s Interior on Canada Day when a wheel ejected from the right side of the trailer, causing a fire in a grass-filled ditch, said B.C. RCMP spokesman Staff Sergeant Kris Clark.
