We won't be livetweeting but an important meeting happening today as councillors debate the first look of the massive amendments to the #ottcity zoning policy. There will be more from us on this later this week. You can watch below: youtube.com/live/GgdorTXVq…
“Ridership among seniors has surged by 15-20%. The measure has resulted in both savings and increased mobility for seniors.” “I think that for low-income people it’s a way to break isolation, to get out.” montrealgazette.com/news/local-new…
UPDATE 2: WPBS in Watertown, New York has just cancelled its media sponsorship of the Ottawa Food and Book Expo in response to this story. “The information in your article is shocking and we had no idea about any of this,” the PBS affiliate told @pressprogress.

From this morning’s Ottawa Lookout: The Tulip Festival is in big trouble. Guided tours aren’t being offered because there isn’t enough money. This is shameful.
We'll be joining @DefendChoiceOtt once again this year to stand up for reproductive justice in our city and throughout Canada! See more details below and see you there!
We agree that #ottcity has so much potential and we know it can be the city we all deserve. But we know that we have to continue to organize and talk to our neighbours to make this a reality. Join us so we can bring Ottawa to its full potential in 2026: tinyurl.com/mpa4stmm

WATCH: Folks from across the city spoke out yesterday in favour of an anti-renoviction by-law to help protect our city's dwindling affordable housing stock. Thanks to the advocacy of @ACORNOttawa and everyone who spoke out, the motion was unanimously approved!
This is exactly the type of development we need in #ottcity. This 30-bed Inuit women and children's centre should be welcomed especially in the midst of a massive housing crisis. ottawa.ctvnews.ca/residents-rais…
It's pretty absurd to learn that @opl_bpo has to resort to fundraising from the folks who use library services. Meanwhile, MILLIONS are put towards OPS funding increases and road widening. Budgets are about priorities - this is yet another indication of where the city's are at.

Ottawa has so much potential. It is held back by status quo thinking and an old, hypocritical guard. It remains a top priority to change this, as difficult as it has been. Quality of life will improve significantly for residents when that change comes.
QUESTION: We often talk about cities doing great things that inspire us, and I usually don’t spend much time bashing other cities even when they deserve it. But there are special cities that just SHOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER than they are. Ottawa comes to mind for me. What yours?

Imagine taking time out of your day to go to a city committee to defend renovictions. People who wonder why there are "negative stereotypes" about landlords just have to watch Ottawa's Planning and Housing Committee.
@ShawnMenard1 @laine_johnson1 Next is Tony Miller, a real estate investor who says the RTB effectively protects tenants and changes aren't needed. Councillor Devine asks Miller what harm requiring a renoviction permit would cause. Miller says it would add time and costs for landlords, its "onerous".
In bittersweet news, I will be leaving my role as the Executive Director of the @CCGSD_CCDGS effective May 31st, 2024. It's been a wild ride *and* an absolute privilege leading the organization over the last 4 years. Can't wait to see where the organization goes from here 🌈
