  • Complete Streets” Wins Overwhelming Approval
    YOUR DECISION VOTE FOR A HEALTHY & GREEN OTTAWA-ELECTION 2014 ALL-CANDIDATES SURVEY UPDATED OCTOBER 17 “COMPLETE STREETS” WINS OVERWHELMING APPROVAL A solid consensus among city council candidates favours making the city’s streets safe and convenient for all modes of transportation, not just cars. An overwhelming majority support greater spending on cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, and speeding up the construc- tion of new bike paths and bike lanes. A survey conducted by Ecology Ottawa shows nearly eight out of ten candidates would prioritize pedestrian, cycling and affordable public transit infrastructure over automobile infrastructure to meet future growth. A similar number of candidates pledged to ensure all street construc- tion and renewal projects incorporate “Complete Street” principles to make streets accessible to all people, especially pedestrians, cyclists and users of public transit. Slightly fewer than eight out of ten candidates support accelerating implementation of the city’s plans for more bicycle paths and bike lanes. Each candidate’s response can be found in the table below, orga- nized by ward. Safe and Convenient Streets Many Ottawa streets are dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians, and too many neighbourhoods lack affordable and convenient public transportation options. Badly designed streets not only discourage active lifestyles and limit transportation choices, they can increase traffic congestion and hike road maintenance costs. Recognizing the problem, in 2013 Ottawa City Council endorsed a “Complete Streets” approach to ensure our city’s streets are de- signed to provide safe and comfortable access for people of all ages, genders and abilities. Such streets should accommodate multiple modes of travel and can include such features as on-road bike lanes, wider sidewalks, protected crossings, landscaped areas, and traffic- calming measures.

  • Your Decision Vote for a Healthy & Green Ottawa - Election 2014
    YOUR DECISION VOTE FOR A HEALTHY & GREEN OTTAWA - ELECTION 2014 ALL-CANDIDATES SURVEY UPDATED OCTOBER 21, 2014 COUNCIL CANDIDATES WANT URGENT ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE Over eight in ten candidates for city council believe the city must do its part to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change. And 76 per cent favour new initiatives to surpass the city’s emissions-reduction target. A survey conducted by Ecology Ottawa shows an overwhelming consensus among city council candidates in favour of full imple- mentation of the city’s new Air Quality and Climate Change Manage- ment Plan. The plan calls for: • Cost-effective improvements across city operations • Information and tools so people can make informed decisions • Assistance for those who want to make their homes, businesses, and investment properties more energy-efficient and resilient • Direction and certainty to the design and construction industry regarding sustainable structures • A stewardship program to manage and secure land to serve as natural water reservoirs, windbreaks, air filters, and carbon sinks. More than seven out of ten candidates favour surpassing the Cli- mate Change Plan’s modest goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 20 per cent per capita from 2012 levels by the year 2024. Nearly every candidate said climate change is an urgent issue that must be addressed by all levels of government. Each candidate’s response can be found in the table below, orga- nized by ward. What the City Can Do All but twelve candidates for city council agree that the city has a role to play in fighting the dire threat posed by climate change.

  • Civic Engagement of Residents
    MAKING VOICES COUNT A KIT FOR ENGAGING CITY DECISION MAKERS ABOUT THIS KIT FALL 2016 This kit encourages the long-term civic engagement of residents. It helps residents bring community concerns to the attention of City decision-makers so that positive change happens. This kit originated from an initiative originally called Making Votes Count, funded by the Ontario Trillium Foun- dation and the Catherine Donnelly Foundation, engaging Ottawa residents living on low-income in elections (2013-2016). Currently called Making Voices Count (MVC), with additional funds from United Way Ottawa, MVC is an initiative of the Coalition of Community Health and Resource Centres, the City for All Women Initiative (CAWI), community partners and residents to work with City of Ottawa decision-makers to create a city for all. This Civic Engagement Kit was identified by the Coalition of Community Health and Resource Centres (CCHRC) as an important tool for its staff, Board members and advocacy groups to help the Coalition build the long-term civic engagement of residents and bring issues to the City of Ottawa for change. City for All Women Initiative (CAWI) remains committed to its history of training and support- ing women to have a voice in city decision making. In using this kit, we can influence and bring positive change for the health and wellbeing of all Ottawa residents. We especially want to engage residents whose voices are least likely to be heard by City decision makers, including women from diverse backgrounds, people who are racialized, Aboriginal, LGBTQ+, newcomers, older adults, youth, people living with a disability, and/or people living in poverty and rural residents.

  • Women's Eyes on the City Budget 2007
    Women’s Eyes on the City Budget 2007 The decisions City Council makes in the coming weeks will have a great impact on the lives of our families, organizations and communities. We have reviewed City Council’s decisions on the Budget Directions that are now being used by city staff to draft the budget. We ask City Council and residents in Ottawa to consider the following concerns when reviewing the draft budget to be released on February 7 th . Each of us have an important role to play to let our City Councillors know what we believe is most important to ensure a healthy and inclusive city. Visit www.ottawa.ca to know how. A Gender Equality Lens on the Budget To consider how the full diversity of women and men would be differently affected by a budget, we are looking at it with a “gender equality lens”. This means asking the following questions: o How will women and men; girls and boys be affected differently? o What impact will it have on specific groups of women who may be at greater risk of exclusion (Aboriginal, francophone, visible minority, immigrant, seniors, youth, low-income, persons with disabilities)? o Does it support programs and services that promote an inclusive city and quality of life for all? o Will the reduction or elimination of a service result in women carrying an extra load in unpaid work, as primary caregivers and community volunteers? On how the City raises funds - Revenues: o Change how cities are funded: The City of Ottawa does not have a spending problem; it has a revenue problem.

  • Ottawa Votes: Who Spent What to Get Elected in 2014
    Ottawa votes: Who spent what to get elected in 2014 Matthew Pearson, Ottawa Citizen Joanne Chianello, Ottawa Citizen Published on: March 27, 2015 | Last Updated: March 27, 2015 9:24 PM EDT A trio of east-end city councillors outspent all of their colleagues to get elected last year, according to campaign financial statements released Friday. Orléans Coun. Bob Monette spent more than $31,000 to secure his third term on council, while Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais spent about a thousand dollars less than that to win a second term. Rookie Innes Coun. Jody Mitic spent just over $30,000 to win his seat. Meanwhile, Jim Watson spent more than 14 times what his nearest rival, Mike Maguire, did in the mayor’s race. Watson’s campaign spent $321,781 compared to Maguire’s $22,505. Candidates had until Friday at 2 p.m. to file their financial statements. Those who spent or received more than $10,000 during the campaign were also required under the Municipal Elections Act to file audited financial statements at the time of filing. Otherwise, they would be in default and cannot run in the next municipal election. Catherine Bergeron, head of Elections Ottawa, said she did not have a complete list yet, but said former Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark and River ward candidate Mike Patton did not provide audited statements. “Even though we have some paperwork from them, they are in default because their paperwork was not complete,” she said. Failing to get statements audited also means contributors to those candidates are ineligible for the city’s rebate program, Bergeron said.

Safe and Convenient Streets Many Ottawa streets are dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians, and too many neighbourhoods lack affordable and convenient public transportation options. Badly designed streets not only discourage active lifestyles and limit transportation choices, they can increase traffic congestion and hike road maintenance costs. Recognizing the problem, in 2013 Ottawa City Council endorsed a “Complete Streets” approach to ensure our city’s streets are de- signed to provide safe and comfortable access for people of all ages, genders and abilities. Such streets should accommodate multiple modes of travel and can include such features as on-road bike lanes, wider sidewalks, protected crossings, landscaped areas, and traffic- calming measures.

  • REPORT on the 2010 MUNICIPAL ELECTION in OTTAWA: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
    REPORT ON THE 2010 MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN OTTAWA: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly By Alex Cullen October 14, 2014 REPORT ON THE 2010 MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN OTTAWA 2 REPORT ON THE 2010 MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN OTTAWA 3 CONTENTS: Introduction Reading the Numbers The Problem with Corporate (and Union) Contributions Fundraising after the Election Compliance Issues Appendices & Tables REPORT ON THE 2010 MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN OTTAWA 4 REPORT ON THE 2010 MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN OTTAWA 5 Introduction: Municipal governments are often described as the level of government most accessible to its citizens, the government whose services touch citizens the most: from the moment they turn on the tap in the morning (and flush the toilet), step on the sidewalk to place the garbage (and the blue or black recycle box), run to catch a bus or drive on the street looking for a parking spot – you get the picture. Ottawa’s municipal government provides an extensive array of services beyond providing basic infrastructure that affects the quality of life for its citizens – generally seen as good value for the tax dollar. It is also a big business – the City of Ottawa’s budget is over $3.5 billion dollars and much is spent on outside service providers: to build roads and sewers, to truck out garbage and process compost, to supply professional services in health, urban planning, etc. It is also the level of government that creates wealth through land designation: an unused farmer’s field can become a shopping mall, to the profit of somebody. The decisions of the City of Ottawa are governed by a democratic process – citizens elect a mayor and 23 councillors to make decisions and choose among competing priorities: where should roads be built? What arena should be renovated next? Should there be a reduced bus pass for university students? Should the police be given an armoured car? Should the City invest in electric light rail transit? Should property taxes be raised, or should it be bus fares, or both, or neither? Good issues for any municipal election.
