Prepared by the Planning and Growth Management Department, the report analyzes key indicators of economic development in Ottawa and measures the city against five other large Canadian municipalities: Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.
The report provides information on changes to population and employment, and examines housing, commercial, industrial and retail development. Highlights from the 2014 report indicate:
- Ottawa saw $2.7 billion in building permits issued in 2014, up 22 per cent from 2013.
