Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. March 14th, 2025

March 14, 2025
A protest against the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s elementary school restructuring plan is underway this afternoon. This controversial program review is proposing changes to school boundaries and some specialized programs, as well as French immersion programming and grade structures. Thirty schools and an estimated 11,000 students would be impacted, with some having to switch schools altogether. And in a recent update, Ottawa’s largest school board is planning to take another look at these ideas before a final decision is made in April, as widespread criticism continues to mount. Kristy Cameron chats with Natalee Lewis, a concerned parent who is attending today’s rally at the OCDSB headquarters. Sticking with local news, a controversial 'safer supply' clinic that prescribes opioids to fentanyl users has moved from Hintonburg to Chinatown. And unless the clinic is willing to make changes, Somerset councillor Ariel Troster says they’re not welcome. CTV’s Kimberley Johnson delivers the details in Hour 2.
