Episode Details

Ottawa’s wettest summer in over 150 years has turned homes into waterlogged nightmares—twice for some. Adrienne ten Cate’s basement flooded on Canada Day with 50 cm of water, then again just weeks later with a mere few centimeters, leaving her facing $44,000 in out-of-pocket costs and relentless anxiety. City officials received over 100 flood service calls after the second storm, though they’re still puzzling over why minor rain events trigger major basement intrusions. With streets turning into rivers and parks into lakes, residents are demanding answers as Ottawa braces for more extreme weather—and questions whether aging infrastructure can keep up.
