  • Ottawa Transit Challenge 2020
    Transit Challenge 2020 Ottawa Transit Riders, Free Transit Ottawa, Ecology Ottawa, and Healthy Transportation Coalition Ottawa Transit Challenge 2020 Why the Transit Week Challenge? In 2019, Free Transit Ottawa organized a Transit Week Challenge that took place from Monday, February 4th to February 10th 2019 as a way to bring focus to transit issues within the city. Councillors were invited to rely on transit for one week – to experience the city the way many people in Ottawa already do every day. Participants were encouraged to ride transit to and from work, to shopping, to appointments, and to social events. The Challenge represented the daily reality of Ottawa’s transit dependent residents: students, commuters, low income bus riders, and others without access to vehicles. 2020 The second annual Transit challenge took place from Monday, February 17 to Sunday, February 23, 2020. It was organized by the Ottawa Transit Riders, Healthy Transportation Coalition, Ecology Ottawa, and Free Transit Ottawa. We also reached out to fellow transit advocates in other cities and were delighted that Edmonton decided to conduct a similar challenge. What was the difference between Transit Challenge 2019 and 2020? - Launch of the LRT - Expanded number of people invited (reached out to city managers and OC Transpo executives) - Tracked participation, not just agreement - Two surveys - Report released quickly after end of challenge 2 | Page Ottawa Transit Challenge 2020 Participants Most councillors agreed to participate.

  • Investigating the Need for Structural and Functional Reform of Ottawa Police Service and Ottawa Police Services Board
    Investigating the Need for Structural and Functional Reform of Ottawa Police Service and Ottawa Police Services Board Dr. Barry Wellar Professor Emeritus, University of Ottawa President, Information Research Board http://wellar.ca/informationresearch/ POLICE REFORM PROJECT Report 1 Ottawa, Canada September 27, 2020 Investigating the Need for Structural and Functional Reform of Ottawa Police Service and Ottawa Police Services Board A. Police Reform Investigation Terms of Reference The call to “Defund the Police”, as well as related calls about disbanding, re-organizing, downsizing, reviewing, and re-designing police service organizations and police services boards have attained a great deal of traction in communities across Canada, including Ottawa. As a result of that broad interest and the wide variety of concerns, there are many different topics which are pertinent to investigations into the need for structural and functional reform of police service agencies and police services boards, and there are many different ways to undertake the investigations. For a mix of reasons, this investigation is limited in scope to Ottawa Police Service and Ottawa Police Services Board. Consequently, the politicians of initial interest are members of council, City of Ottawa. Further, and consistent with the pillars that define the purpose of the Information Research Board (http://wellar.ca/informationresearch/6Pillars.html), the focus of this investigation is on citizens having free, easy, timely, and direct online access to police service records, and those of Ottawa Police Service in particular. And, as a final introductory remark, the research design uses survey questions as the means to ascertain the positions of Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and councillors regarding the need for structural and functional reform of Ottawa Police Service and Ottawa Police Services Board.

  • Homophobic Hate Propaganda in Canada
    \\server05\productn\G\GHS\5-1\GHS107.txt unknown Seq: 1 17-MAY-07 8:17 Homophobic Hate Propaganda in Canada Dr. Ellen Faulkner [email protected] I. INTRODUCTION While the typical hate crime is perceived to be of a violent nature perpetrated by individuals connected to Nazi and neo-Nazi groups and white supremacists, a more insidious form of hatred exists in the form of hate propaganda (Kinsella 1994; Martin 1995; Sher 1983; Sunahara 1981; Abella and Trooper 1982; Barrett 1987; Betcherman 1975; Bolaria and Li 1985; Frideres 1976). In Canada “hate messages take a variety of forms including flaming crosses, heckling at memorial services, music, and dese- cration of synagogues, mosques, or temples” (Commission for Racial Equality 1999, quoted in Kazarian 1998, 204). “In the winter of 1992, a lone protestor at an Ontario university disrupted a Kristallnacht (night of broken glass) ceremony in memory of the 1938 attack by Nazi soldiers on Jewish homes and businesses” (Gillis 1993, quoted in Kazarian 1998, 204). And “on a May 1993 weekend in London, Ontario, 40 members of the Ku Klux Klan—men, women, and children wearing white robes and conical hats—attended a cross-burning ceremony to celebrate the white race on a private property” (Swainson and Small 1993, quoted in Kazarian 1998, 204). In 1994, a skinhead in Toronto was sentenced to four years in prison for beating a Tamil immigrant into paralysis. Just before the attack, the man had attended a racist rock concert where he was inspired by such lyrics as “These boots are made for stompin’.

  • 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.
