Transit & Transportation
New 24-Hour Airport Bus Route OC Transpo has launched a new 24-hour bus route to Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. Check octranspo.com for route details and schedule.
Road Conditions Very cold temperatures mean any wet surfaces freeze quickly, leading to icy patches on untreated roads and sidewalks. Winter tires are essential. Allow extra stopping distance.
Regional News
Fatal Collision A 32-year-old Ottawa woman died in an early morning crash on Highway 401 near Mississauga on January 1 at approximately 6:10 AM. The cause remains under investigation.
Smiths Falls/Brockville Fatal Crash A Smiths Falls woman and a Markham man were both pronounced dead after a head-on collision on County Road 29 near Brockville on New Year’s Eve. OPP is seeking dashcam footage from anyone in the area.

Scams & Fraud Alerts
CRA Phone Scams Active Ottawa Police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre warn of ongoing CRA impersonation scams. Fraudsters call threatening arrest or demanding immediate payment via gift cards or cryptocurrency. The real CRA never uses aggressive language or demands payment by gift card. Hang up and report to 1-888-495-8501.
Grandparent Scams Recent Ottawa cases involve fraudsters posing as lawyers claiming a relative needs urgent bail money. Family intervention has prevented losses in several cases. Always verify by calling the family member directly on their known phone number.
Kijiji/Facebook Marketplace Robberies Increasing Ottawa has seen a rise in assaults during online marketplace meetups, particularly over phones. Use Ottawa Police Safe Trade Zones (police station parking lots) for exchanges. Never meet alone or at private residences.
