They even […]

A 35-year-old Ottawa man has surrendered to police in connection with a Rideau Street gas station robbery last week. The robbery occurred Oct. 14 on the 200 block of Rideau when a suspect, claiming to have a knife in his pocket, tussled with an attendant before escaping with an undisclosed amount of money. Police said […]

The tasks are simple for the Ottawa Senators Saturday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. It’s all about trying to slow down the NHL’s highest scoring team — Toronto has outscored opponents 34-22 while rolling out to a 6-1 record — and winning at Canadian Tire Centre for the first time this season. “They’re a […]

The London-based virtuoso, who last performed in Ottawa in 2009, gives a solo concert Monday at Dominion-Chalmers United Church.

In Ottawa’s tech sector, there are more jobs than people to fill them. In the Kanata North business park alone — once referred to as Silicon Valley North, at the height of the dot-com boom — there are today 3,000 unfilled positions. “Unemployment in tech right now is almost zero,” says Jenna Sudds, the outgoing […]

When Ottawa Inner City health opened in 2001, it aimed to answer the problem of how to treat homeless people with complex physical and mental health needs. Its first program was a hospice at The Ottawa Mission. Today, it is on the front lines of Ottawa’s opioid crisis. Since it opened, Inner City Health has […]

In medicine, opioids such as morphine and oxycodone are used for the treatment of pain. Stronger opioids such as fentanyl are used for the kind of severe pain that can result from cancer or surgery. (The illegal street drug, heroin, is made from morphine.) The drugs all inhibit the central nervous system’s ability to send […]

“They turn greyish blue and life slowly drains out of them. All of a sudden, you see them just pretty much go to sleep. Their arms tighten up. Maybe their legs are shaking a bit. Their breathing could stop. It is scary.” • One week last winter changed everything. On the last day of February, […]

Sue crouches down to hug the woman slumped against a building on the sidewalk along Rideau Street. “Do you need anything? Are you OK?” She gets a smile in return. Sue is a tiny woman in her mid-50s, wearing a ball cap and T-shirt with the words Overdose Prevention Team printed on back. She is […]

The effects of climate change are being felt with extreme weather events such as the wildfires in British Columbia, floods in Eastern Canada and hurricanes of unprecedented severity battering North America and the Caribbean. Wildlife is also suffering the consequences, and migratory animals already at greater risk because of their dependence on a fragile chain […]

It was Kody Clark's second OT winner in a row, following another against the Greyhounds in Sault Ste. Marie last Sunday, and it lifted the 67's home record to 4-0 this season, a far cry from where they were headed on the way to the Ontario Hockey League's worst home-ice record in 2016-17.

It was a time to reconnect as the 67's honoured stars from the franchise's second decade, its best-ever run from 1977-78 through 1986-87.

Here are my picks of the top five Ottawa Senators stars for the first two weeks of the National Hockey League regular season.

The Maple Leafs are listed as the betting favourites at 8/1 odds, followed by the Tampa Bay Lightning (9/1) and then (at 12/1) the Chicago Blackhawks, Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins. The Oilers and Penguins led the list at 8/1 on Oct. 4.

Oh, it will be a fine and successful event even if the Redblacks aren't one of two teams at TD Place stadium Nov. 26. Just not the same. Just not as great.

Somewhere in the basement of his off-season home in Coral Springs, Fla., the Ottawa Senators goaltender has the stick he used in the 2016-17 season opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs in which Matthews, then a rookie, scored four goals on Anderson at the Canadian Tire Centre.

As the Ottawa Senators prepare to face off against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday at Canadian Tire Centre in Round 1 of the 2017-18 edition of the provincial rivalry, there are two points on the line that will come in handy when the National Hockey League hands out playoff spots in April.

Pageau, Pyatt and Ceci often started overtime sessions last season, and it worked then. It just didn't work against the Devils on Thursday.

One man is dead after a motorcycle collided head-on with a car near Morrisburg on Friday afternoon.

A judge on Friday refused the Crown’s argument that the court must book an earlier trial for the cop charged in the death of Abdirahman Abdi. And for the first time, the public got a sense of what direction Const. Daniel Montsion’s criminal trial will take without any evidence being presented yet. The case could […]

As the strike by faculty at Ontario's 24 colleges enters its sixth day, questions are mounting among students about how they will salvage their semester.

Ontarians should not only disapprove of Quebec’s new face-coverings law, the government should find a legal case to support to get it struck down, Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown says, continuing to harry the Liberal party from the left. They keep saying he’s a frightening right-winger and he keeps refusing to play along. Brown criticizes the […]

After months spent fanning the embers of class warfare with their proposed tax reforms, this was the week the brushfire blew back on the federal Liberals. Fresh accusations of questionable decisions around ethics and disclosure fuelled the opposition all week, pushing Finance Minister Bill Morneau to publicly declare himself “naïve,” change the way he declares […]

A 20-year-old man once accused of a gunpoint home invasion in Toronto is now wanted for murder in a brazen daylight homicide on Caldwell Avenue, the Citizen has learned.  Ottawa homicide detectives have charged 20-year-old Farah Handule, of Toronto, with second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Hamzeh Serhan on Sept. 20.
