What Ottawa is Talking About – 22 March 2022

▪️A man has been arrested for the attempted arson of an apartment building in February.

Police are still looking for a second suspect. [CBC]
▪️The City of Ottawa has sent their approval of Chalk River's nuclear waste disposal plan. Chalk River Laboratories, upriver past Petawawa, wants to store waste with low-levels of radiation. Ottawa is supportive, but wants to be informed of spills and access to their Ottawa River data. [Ottawa Bulldog]
