First came the apartment. Then he got clean. Now he's giving back

The first time Colin Beaudry was arrested, he was just 13 years old. Now, at 47, Beaudry is finally breaking a cycle of addiction, incarceration and homelessness — a change he hopes will inspire others.

Beaudry now lives alone in an apartment he finally secured in April after a year of living on the street. He even has a cat named Kit Kat.

"Maybe I'll give someone else hope, too," said Beaudry as he sat at a picnic table in Dundonald Park in Ottawa's Centretown neighbourhood.

NCC removes buckthorn in Atlantis Woods after community pressure

The National Capital Commission (NCC) has decided to remove  widespread buckthorn from Atlantis Woods in Ottawa's Westboro Beach neighbourhood after the community pressured them to improve the forest's health.

Removing the invasive shrub was part of the NCC's original plan to redevelop Westboro Beach, according to Westboro resident Kristen Hayes. Hayes said she and other locals were consulted over how to remove the buckthorn, but the NCC initially chose not to go ahead with the removal efforts.

Rams come heartbreakingly close to knocking off favourite Rouge et Or in Mitchell Bowl

The Laval Rouge et Or secured a dramatic 17-14 victory over the Regina Rams in the USport Mitchell Bowl, earning a spot in the Vanier Cup. Despite a strong performance by the Rams, who took a 14-10 lead late in the game with a 36-yard touchdown run by Marshall Erichsen, Laval responded with an 85-yard drive. The drive culminated in a 5-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Arnaud Desjardins to Isaac Gaillardetz, putting Laval ahead with just 1:19 remaining. Rams head coach Mark McConkey expressed pride in his team's effort, despite the tough loss. Laval will now face the Laurier Golden Hawks, who defeated Bishop's 48-24 in the Uteck Bowl, in the Vanier Cup on November 23 in Kingston, Ont. The game will be broadcast live on CBC platforms at 1 p.m. ET.

Ottawa appoints special mediator on Day 2 of Canada Post strike

A special mediator has been appointed to help resolve the strike by 55,000 Canada Post workers, who walked off the job over stalled contract talks. The union argues Canada Post's offer doesn't address key issues like job security and working conditions. While the federal government is not intervening, Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon stressed the importance of negotiations. Canada Post, already facing significant financial losses, warned the strike could worsen its financial challenges. Talks are ongoing.

Tests show high level of 'forever chemicals' in Montreal firefighter bunker gear

Safety equipment meant to shield firefighters from danger may be increasing their risk of cancer and premature death. Tests conducted at Université de Montréal's environmental chemistry laboratory for Radio-Canada's Enquête revealed high levels of PFAS in the textiles that make up a firefighter's bunker gear, the clothing they wear when they respond to calls.

The bunker gear protects firefighters from flames, heat and chemical spills. It is made up of three different layers. All three, including the one in direct contact with firefighters' skin, were found to be imbued with PFAS.

Alberta premier agrees with Doug Ford's pitch to explore kicking Mexico out of trade agreement

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has expressed support for Ontario Premier Doug Ford's suggestion to consider a bilateral trade agreement between Canada and the U.S., excluding Mexico, if Mexico doesn't tighten restrictions on Chinese products. Smith agrees with Ford's concerns that Mexico is not an equal partner in the North American trade agreement and has been allowing Chinese investment, particularly in the auto sector, which could harm Canadian and American industries. Ford also raised the idea of returning to a pre-NAFTA trade agreement between Canada and the U.S. to address concerns over Mexico being a "backdoor" for Chinese goods.

Smith believes a bilateral agreement could help avoid tariffs and strengthen trade relations between Canada and the U.S. This comes as U.S. officials, including President-elect Donald Trump, have voiced concerns about Chinese-owned car plants in Mexico, with Chinese EV maker BYD scouting locations there. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland acknowledged U.S. concerns over Mexico's alignment on China but did not directly endorse the idea of a bilateral deal. Meanwhile, Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum dismissed Ford's proposal, asserting that it has "no future" and emphasizing Mexico's past support for Canada in NAFTA negotiations.

RCMP prepares to deploy body cameras to thousands of officers nationwide

Thousands of RCMP officers will start wearing body cameras over the coming months, marking a pivotal shift in how Mounties and Canadians interact.

The long-anticipated national rollout of body cameras is happening in stages, the RCMP said Thursday. Starting next week, Mounties at select detachments will start carrying body-worn cameras on their chests. The audio and video will be uploaded and maintained on a digital evidence management system.

Over the next nine months, roughly 1,000 frontline RCMP officers per month will deploy with Axon Public Safety Canada Inc.'s cameras. The force estimates that 90 per cent of frontline members will be using body-worn cameras by this time next year.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) says approximately 55,000 are striking, claiming little progress has been made in the bargaining process. "Canada Post had the opportunity to prevent this strike, but it has refused to negotiate real solutions to the issues postal workers face every day," said a statement from the union.

Alberta man convicted in deaths of Métis hunters has appeal dismissed by Supreme Court

Canada's top court has declined to hear the appeal of one of two men found guilty in the deaths of two Métis hunters who were shot and killed in northeastern Alberta.

As is customary, the Supreme Court did not give reasons for its dismissal of Anthony Bilodeau's leave to appeal. The decision to dismiss was issued Thursday.

Bilodeau was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of Maurice Cardinal, and of manslaughter in the death of Cardinal's nephew, Jacob Sansom.

Proposed police budget adds $20 to average tax bill

The Ottawa Police Services Board tabled a net operating budget of $388.7 million Wednesday morning, up $16.3 million from 2024. The draft police budget anticipates a rise in revenue for the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) next year, with more funding expected from the federal and provincial governments.

The draft budget is based on a 2.9 per cent increase in tax revenues, plus an expected assessment growth of 1.5 per cent. For the average urban household in Ottawa, the resulting tax increase will equal about $20, for a total of $717.
