Council approved its 2023-2026 Term of Council Priorities – a clear vision that will direct the focus of City staff for the next four years. The four priorities look to create an Ottawa that:
In approving the 2023-2026 Term of Council Priorities, the City strives for meaningful reconciliation and works together with the Anishinabe Algonquin Nation and Urban Indigenous communities to collaboratively address emerging and systemic issues and needs, support Indigenous-led approaches, and improve City services for First Nations, Métis and Inuit people.
The new priorities align with the City’s budget process and will be advanced throughout the 2023-2026 Term of Council alongside work on key strategies and long-term master plans already underway. Council will be updated twice during the term on staff’s progress.

The City advanced ongoing work in its six priority areas, including integrating services and simplifying access for residents, funding 19 community agencies to build capacity in priority areas, and helping develop the safer alternative response for mental health and substance use crises. Next steps include developing a poverty reduction strategy, collaborating with community partners to reduce intimate partner violence, and piloting trauma-informed and anti-stigma training for staff who provide front-line and support services.

A 24/7 mobile service would respond to calls, led by civilian professionals with expertise in mental health and substance use crises. These non-uniformed responders will offer trauma-informed and culturally appropriate crisis response services.
Council approved changes to the City’s advisory bodies. They include redefining advisory committees as statutory and policy-based advisory bodies that are either required under legislation or that have direct ties to legislation. This establishes four advisory committees:
A Transit Working Group will be created to provide advice to Transit Services. Working group members could raise matters for discussion, including those related to the transit customer experience.
