Hassan Dahis, 22, and Mohamad Moussa, 21, were originally charged with murder in what the Crown billed as a strong case, but both were offered a plea deal.

Normally, the majority of homicide victims in Ottawa would be men. The fact so many victims in 2022 were women is a sign, in the words of one local advocate, of an 'ongoing collective crisis.'

OPP officers charged a man with impaired driving following a collision on Highway 417.

It says a lot that by the second month of 2022, local residents began brandishing signs imploring: "Make Ottawa Boring Again." 

Whether it was the quiet aftermath of Ottawa's deadliest workplace incident in decades or demonstrators' noisy occupation of the city's downtown core, photos snapped by CBC and other media in 2022 helped bring those stories into focus.

Ontario's police watchdog is not recommending criminal charges against Ottawa police officers who shot and killed a man attacking a family outside their home this past summer.

Ottawa police officers who shot and killed a man during a stabbing attack at an Alta Vista home in June won’t face criminal charges, Ontario’s police watchdog has ruled.
