A shortage of nurses has forced the cancellation of some surgeries at the Hull Hospital, and will force some patients to travel to out-of-town hospitals. The hospital has six vacancies on its nursing staff, other nurses are on sick leave or parental leave, and those who are working have been run ragged trying to keep […]

The City of Ottawa has changed its mind about Minto Field, deciding it will rip out the artificial turf after all and replace it with another less-punishing product. Dan Chenier, the general manager of parks and recreation, said the city will pay just under $800,000 to replace the turf, rather than the nearly $1.2 million […]

When Jeff Skevington’s parents used to take the family camping in Algonquin Park, they needed to stop the car halfway and buy windshield washer fluid because of all the squished bugs. But Canada is actually running out of bugs Skevington is now 52, and his windshield rarely hits bugs today. He is also an Agriculture Canada […]

Ottawa Police say a body found on the O-Train tracks Sunday morning is not considered to be a suspicious death. But early Sunday, they set out yellow tape around three sites: the tracks themselves; both the front and rear of the Hintonburg Community Centre; and around the Somerset Street bridge over the O-Train tracks, about […]

If things had turned out differently 12 years ago, Mike Sutherland might be able to attach the memory of a face to the name Matt Cherry. On the other hand, if things had been different, Chelsea Clinton might not have pledged financial support to an animation project led by independent director Matthew A. Cherry.

Hair Love, about a black man who helps care for his daughter's hair for the first time, is Cherry's first animation project.

Cherry, now 35, has more than 80,000 followers on Twitter, and it's a fairly safe assumption that among that contingent were several of the 4,979 backers who offered up $284,033 U.S. to a Kickstarter campaign aimed at funding his five-minute animation.

With overdose awareness day on Aug. 31 and the Ontario government’s recent promise to devote $222 million to the opioid crisis, substance abuse is at the forefront of the minds of policy-makers and the public.  Despite evidence to the contrary, many don’t see alcohol as a particularly harmful substance. This perception is wrong. What’s more concerning is that […]

What the young defenceman from Swift Current of the WHL did against the Canadiens was truly impressive.

Senators coaches decided to give the kids a chance Saturday night. They were just fine.

Next up: the annual Panda Game showdown with the Carleton Ravens at TD Place stadium next Saturday.

Some on foot, others pedalling their bicycles, they made their way into the streets of Ottawa on Saturday, ending long journeys that had led them to the capital for Sunday's national day of remembrance.

Chris VandeVelde has no shortage of Ottawa Senators connections. A native of Moorhead, Minn., he has the same hometown as Brian Lee, Ottawa's ill-fated first-round draft pick in 2005, and Matt Cullen, a Senator for 21 games in 2010-11. VandeVelde, who is on a professional tryout with the Senators, is wearing the No. 22 that once belonged to Erik Condra. It just so happens the two were teammates with the USHL's Lincoln Stars 13 years ago.

More than two decades after he left Ottawa city council, Tim Kehoe is back in municipal politics — this time in Chelsea, where he announced Saturday he is running for mayor.

Two people had to be treated for smoke inhalation and three people were forced from their homes because of a Centretown fire on Albert Street.

Third-string quarterback Ryan Lindley, in his first Canadian Football League start, heaped a lot of blame on himself for Friday night’s 29-9 loss to the Blue Bombers on a rainy, blustery night in Winnipeg.

Most hockey experts have the Ottawa Senators trending downward after their three-round playoff.

Blistered and tired but elated, Chelsea’s Suzanne Cayer, 71, completed her 800-kilometre fundraising march from Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré to Gaspé on Friday night to a hero’s welcome. “I’m not sure who organized it, but she said there was a welcoming reception with food,” Cayer’s daughter, Tammy Scott, said Saturday. “She’s been paying for her food on the trip, […]
