  • SPEAKING NOTES Mayor Jim Watson Budget 2019 Tabling Building a City with Better Roads, Housing, Transit and Safe Communities Wednesday, February 6, 2019 ********
    SPEAKING NOTES Mayor Jim Watson Budget 2019 Tabling Building a City with Better Roads, Housing, Transit and Safe Communities Wednesday, February 6, 2019 ******** Good morning everyone. Bonjour tout le monde. Today we are pleased to table the draft 2019 Budget for consideration and public input. The tabling of the Budget is the single most important discussion we have as a City each year. Page 1 of 54 C’est la discussion la plus importante que nous avons à chaque année. I had the pleasure of attending various ward consultations and I found that residents often have competing expectations regarding the City’s budget. However, they are also realistic about the City’s fiscal capacity – they know we have to set a limited number of priorities while living within our means. This year is particularly challenging given the compressed timeline resulting from the municipal election. Page 2 of 54 I am pleased to report that we are bringing forward a budget for 2019 that delivers on key commitments, namely: • reducing our infrastructure gap by boosting our spending on roads and sidewalks; • providing more affordable housing; and • making our communities safer and more resilient. Avec le budget 2019, nous investissons davantage dans nos routes et trottoirs et dans le logement abordable, et nous rendrons notre communauté plus sécuritaire. I want to start by sharing highlights of how Budget 2019 can help improve the lives of Ottawa residents. Page 3 of 54 Under Council’s direction, I believe we have assembled a spending plan for 2019 that balances key needs and priorities across our growing city.

    Options Report APPENDIX B Other Comments on Wards and Ward Boundaries July 2020 Get involved online or in person See how at ottawa.ca/wardboundary Ask us at [email protected] 1 Introduction Appendix B summarizes comments received as part of responses to the OWBR 2020’s questions on wards and ward boundaries. Geographic comments regarding ward boundaries and communities, and quantifiable comments regarding ward populations and number of wards have been incorporated into the design of the five options for re- aligning Ottawa’s wards. The comments below are organized as follows: A. Other Comments on Wards and Ward Boundaries – Online Survey, Public Meetings and Online Submissions · General (Urban Wards; Suburban Wards; Rural Wards); · Specific Wards (Urban; Suburban; Rural); · Number of Wards/Ward Populations; and · Governance. B. Other Comments on Wards and Ward Boundaries – Members of Council · General; · Urban Wards; · Suburban Wards; · Rural Wards; · Ward Populations; · Number of Wards; · Approach to OWBR 2020; and · Office Resources. The number in brackets at the end of some comments refers to the number of times the suggestion was mentioned. A. Other Comments on Wards and Ward Boundaries – Online Survey, Public Meetings and Online Submissions General · Three issues: 1. We have too many Councillors for the City of Ottawa with an average of 41,907/ward - compared to average population/ward in Vancouver of 63,000, Calgary of 87,000, Montreal of 90,000 and Toronto of 109,000. Yet our Councillors have similar compensation as these other cities. 2. The Urban (inside Greenbelt) Wards currently have 12 Councillors with Rural Councillors at 11.

  • 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.

Increasing rents and declining quality of housing for students is a serious issue that impacts the health and safety of students across Ontario. How would you address this issue?

Do you support this policy/ how would you improve child care in Ottawa? Municipalities make important decisions about public facilities like libraries and community centres including when they’re open, what programs they can offer and the cost of user fees (if there are any). How do you see services in Ottawa over the next 4 years?
