A significant majority of drivers are speeding through former photo radar zones as thousands of local students prepare to return to classes. Municipal data shows speed limit compliance at the eight original camera locations has plummeted to between 18 and 37 per cent following a provincial ban on the devices; an escalating trade war with the United States is forcing many Canadian small businesses to abandon the American market. The Almonte chocolate company previously sent roughly 16 per cent of its online orders to American customers before unpredictable brokerage fees made the shipments unsustainable; and a dedicated group of conservation volunteers is helping to boost at-risk reptile populations by releasing 400 baby turtles into the Ottawa River. CTV's Peter Szperling speaks with Friends of Petrie Island wildlife technician Jordan-Anne Rich, who says the group collects vulnerable eggs to protect them from foxes and raccoons.
