The Finance and Corporate Services Committee approved a Primary Care Provider Recruitment and Retention Strategy to help bring more family doctors and other primary care providers to Ottawa.
The strategy outlines 10 actions the City could take, such as creating a new role called the Primary Care Recruitment and Retention Ambassador. The ambassador would work with health care professionals, health care organizations and the Province to build a focused plan to attract and keep medical professionals in Ottawa. The City would also join the Eastern Ontario Physician Recruitment Alliance to take advance of tools and best practices on recruitment and promote Ottawa as a great place to live and work.
Among other steps, the City would examine how it could:
As of 2022, about 165,000 Ottawa residents did not have a family doctor. This is likely higher now, especially among marginalized communities. To ensure all resident have access, the City likely needs 270 new primary care providers, not including those expected to retire soon.
The Committee approved a request from the Centretown Business Improvement Area Board of Management to expand the BIA boundary. The BIA proposes to expand the boundary north to meet the boundary of the recently expanded Downtown BIA, west up to Bronson Avenue, south to Catherine Street, and east up to Elgin Street. The expansion would add 366 new commercial properties and approximately 428 businesses to the BIA.
If Council approves, the City Clerk will send out a notice to affected property owners. They would have 30 days to share the notice with tenants who pay municipal property taxes. Council would not enact a By-law if enough written objections were received by the City Clerk within the 60-day notice period representing:
The BIA is exploring the opportunity to increase the annual BIA budget by five per cent in 2026, which would raise its levy to $1.51 million. The extra funds would support more marketing, public space improvements and events, and special projects to help make Centretown an even more attractive place to visit and shop.
The Committee approved a grant for a new healthcare building at 4405–4409 Innes Road in Orléans, as part of the Integrated Orléans Community Improvement Plan. Over 10 years, the City will provide grants totalling just over $338,000 in the form of an annual Tax Increment Equivalent Grant. Once completed, the project will generate an anticipated increase of $676,000 in municipal property taxes over 10 years, which includes the CIP grant payment and additional property tax revenue for the City.
The Committee approved a new lease for the Nepean Sailing Club, allowing it to continue using the property at 3259 Carling Avenue. The lease will last for 15 years at a cost of slightly less than $5 million.
City Council will consider the recommendations from today’s meeting on Wednesday, October 22.

Among other steps, the City would examine how it could:
- Contribute to developing non-profit medical clinics
- Work with local Ontario Health Teams to help physicians apply to Ontario Health for funding
- Collaborate with Ottawa Public Health to improve residents’ access to primary care
- Work with non-profit organizations funded by Ontario Health to better support primary care services
