About ottown's Ottawa news coverage
Ottawa is a city of just over a million people spread across a very large area, from the downtown core and the ByWard Market out to rural communities in the south and west. Local news here is a mix of city hall decisions, transit and road updates, weather, public safety and the smaller community stories that shape daily life in each neighbourhood. As the national capital, Ottawa also lives with federal news on its doorstep, and a lot of it lands close to home for the many residents who work in the public service.
