Council today approved filling the vacant Councillor seat in Ward 20 Osgoode through a by-election on Monday, June 16.
Council today approved filling the vacant Councillor seat in Ward 20 Osgoode through a by-election on Monday, June 16. Council declared the seat vacant following George Darouze’s resignation after his election to Provincial Parliament.
Candidates will be able to submit nomination forms beginning on Thursday, March 27 until Friday, May 2 at 2 pm. The by-election will be conducted using the same voting methods as the 2022 Municipal Elections: voting in person, voting by special mail-in ballot and voting by proxy. Voting will take place on Monday, June 16, between 10 am and 8 pm, with one advance voting day on Friday, June 6. The by-election is expected to cost approximately $522,000.
Council approved a new Cultural Funding Policy to govern how the City allocates more than $12 million in annual funding for the local arts, cultural and heritage sector. The City’s cultural funding programs provide essential financial support to local cultural organizations and artists to foster vibrant communities and grow Ottawa’s economic diversity.
The City will streamline the existing 17 programs into 10 without reducing available funding. Applicants will benefit from more flexible categories that reflect the current cultural landscape. The new structure promises equitable access to funds, easier-to-navigate application processes and faster times for funding decisions. It also directly supports the City’s commitments to reconciliation, equity and inclusion to broaden the impact of cultural funding programs.
Council approved the City’s Green Fleet Strategy, which outlines City efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its vehicles. The strategy adopts an agile framework for incorporating new and emerging vehicle technologies and industry trends with the Council-approved goal to reduce GHG emissions by 2040 to 100 per cent below 2012 levels. The strategy includes short-term and long-term plans, along with regular reviews, to ensure the City remains current with improvements in zero-emission vehicle technologies. Overall, the switch to greener vehicles is expected to save the City more than $6 million by 2040.
Council approved entering into an agreement with Nokia Canada to design and build a local watermain along Legget Drive. The watermain would service Nokia’s proposed development of a new mixed-use campus within the Kanata North special economic district – Canada’s largest technology cluster and a major contributor to Ottawa’s economy. The project will support urban intensification and enable continued economic growth in Kanata North by improving the area’s essential water infrastructure.
Council approved of the City acquiring a large rural property northwest of Old Birch Road and Ferry Road in Fitzroy Harbour. The parcel will be acquired for environmental conservation. Available funding in the Environmental Land Acquisition Budget will be used to acquire these lands. The property occupies a significant section of the City’s Natural Heritage System core areas and linkage areas. It has been used primarily as farmland, and while it is 60 per cent forested, about 40 per cent is pastureland that can be reforested. The property also has significant shoreline on the Ottawa River.
Council approved advancing expropriation proceedings to protect construction timing for the Baseline Transit Priority Phase Project. The larger project involves the construction of a 14 km bus rapid transit corridor on Baseline Road between Bayshore Station and Heron Station. This expropriation deals with the Baseline Road and Greenbank Road section of the project. The City will continue efforts to settle compensation payable to the owners of the lands through negotiation and through the process established in the Expropriations Act.
