Welcome back to 25th Hour. In our first episode of Winter 2025, our journalists explore the passing of time. They learn about the beauty and science in decaying botanicals, the valued past of a beloved Ottawa Bridge, how one Ottawa mall has changed since it’s opening and so much more.
Join our hosts Reagan Spencer and Nadia Nikpour-Badr as they lead us through a series of mini-docs that help answer the question: How have Ottawa residents experienced the passing of time?
