Ottawa Public Health alerting residents of measles exposure locations
Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is investigating the City’s fifth confirmed case of measles in 2025. This public service announcement is for those who we are unable to reach directly or for whom no contact information is available. At this time, the risk to the general population remains low. There is currently no evidence of local transmission of measles in Ottawa.
Between 2019 and 2023, 61 per cent of fatal and major injury collisions involved high-risk driving behaviour which includes aggressive driving.
The City has partnered with Love Food Hate Waste↗ to launch a new campaign to help you save money and cut down on food waste.
