Dribble Around Ottawa: Tour Eastern Ontario's Rich Basketball History

Episode Summary

Canada's Ottawa region has a rich basketball history, and we're about to learn all about it. Kelly MacDonald needed a reason to bring another dose of sports into the show, so he spoke to Leo Doyle, chair of Eastern Ontario Basketball and founder of the Ottawa Basketball Network, who leads a basketball tour around Ottawa. We hear from Martin Cleary, Veteran and retired Ottawa Citizen Sports Reporter. Guled Aden is a community leader trying to give back to the sport that gave him so much joy when he most needed it. And we look ahead to 2026 when the World Wheelchair Basketball Championships are hosted, also in Ottawa, with Wendy Gittens, CEO of Wheelchair Basketball Canada.
