As residents were examining the 2026 Draft Budget, a crowd of people noticed a curious-looking information box on the city’s website. It allows residents to make a personal or corporate contribution – anywhere between $5 and $25,000 – to support city programs and services. This follows a December 2024 motion from Alta Vista councillor Marty Carr, which was unanimously carried. However, her original intention was to raise funds for ‘irregular things’. Carr joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 1. Sticking with municipal matters, the City of Ottawa has kickstarted talks to buy a private piece of land in the East End. What for, you may ask? A new landfill. We gather instant reaction from William Van Geest, who is the Executive Director of Ecology Ottawa. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
