In less than a week, voters will choose city councillors in 24 wards across Ottawa. Last election saw a lot of turnover as few incumbents sought re-election, opening the door for closely fought races. This time, there are 22 sitting councillors running again, with all the advantages that come with name recognition and campaign experience. Two wards won't see any race at all after no one stepped forward to challenge their incumbents. But that doesn't mean every incumbent is facing a cakewalk. Some wards are showing signs of competitive, well-funded or at least unpredictable races. Some had tight margins last time around. Others have high-profile challengers or incumbents who've been in the news for the wrong reasons. A few have outside political players or third-party groups entering the fray. These aren't the only races with credible challengers, but here are at least some of the wards we're watching for the 2026 election. Scroll down to learn more about the races in Kanata South, Knoxdale-Merivale, Kitchissippi, Rideau-Vanier, West Carleton-March, Orléans East-Cumberland and Stittsville.

The U. S. airman who died after a rapid fall while rappelling from the rafters of a stadium before a college football game in Texas was a 15-year service member from Georgia, according to the Air Force. U. S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Ian Patterson died after being taken to a hospital following Saturday’s fall at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Nellis Air Force Base said in a statement. He had been rappelling toward the ground when spectators watched him plunge to the field prior to Navy’s game against University of Texas at San Antonio. The military says an investigation is underway. The demonstration was part of a pregame program for the crowd during the annual “Salute to Armed Forces and Veterans” game in San Antonio. “This tragedy is felt deeply across the 57th Wing,” U. S.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Two men are facing federal charges this week accusing them of supplying the fentanyl that killed one New York City college student and poisoned a second. According to the newly unsealed indictment, Moises Freire, 19, brought fentanyl he obtained from Brian Peralta, 18, to the victims' undergraduate residence hall at Fashion Institute of Technology on March 18. Officials said Freire falsely claimed the drug did not contain fentanyl and was "pure cocaine. "Freire encouraged the victims to ingest the substance and almost immediately both women lost consciousness, prosecutors said. While the victims were incapacitated, Freire allegedly raped Annabel Richter in her FIT dorm room. Authorities say he then took photos of her that he sent to friends. He waited 45 minutes before seeking help from campus security, to whom he claimed the two undergraduates had simply consumed too much alcohol. Campus security responded and administered emergency aid, including Narcan. Both victims were transported to hospitals in Manhattan. Toxicology results later confirmed that both women had ingested fentanyl and no cocaine.
