Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Mon. June 23rd, 2025

If you can’t take the heat, you better get out of the kitchen. Sadly, Canada’s Capital is the world’s biggest sauna, as temperatures are set to rise above 40 degrees Celsius this afternoon. Environment Canada meteorologist Steven Flisfeder explains how long the humid pain will last. Shifting gears to more positive topics, we are tipping our caps to inspirational Canadians from coast to coast, all part of our Canada Proud initiative. And we are doing this every single day until the Canada Day fireworks wind down! Our first guest is Brandon Peacock, who used a life-altering experience in 2020 to fuel his present-day endeavours. He joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 1.
