B
Thank
carrier
next
is
committee,
and
so
I'm
sorry
this

go
to
council
tomorrow
because
of
the
obviously
the
timeliness
factor,
because
it's
september
30th
item
two
corporate
diversity
inclusion
plan.
We
have
a
presentations
we'll
come
back
to
that
finance

economic
development
operating
capital
budget
q2
status
on
the
motion
carried
innovative
of
client
service
department
procurement
year
in

two
recommendations.
B
West
carlton
environmental
center
municipal
host
agreement,
we
have
a
delegation
and
members
of

I
know

I
think
counselor

shantiri
is
the
ward
councillor

like
to
make
some
opening
remarks
and
then
we'll
ask
councillor
gower

affected
and
if
councillor
moffat
is
chair
of
environment,
has
any
questions
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
delegation.
So
councillor
el
shantiri.
This
is
your
award.
D
Also,
we
we
had
one
of
their
condition
from
the
province
was
to
create
a
public
liaison
committee.
The
public
liaison
committee
made
up
of
the
five
councillors
the
western
councilor
hubli
marianne
wilkerson
at
the
time,
chad,
karadri
myself
and
councilman
moffitt
and
obviously
the
in
the
last
term.
We
have
council,
gover
and
council
joining
the
plc
and
we
didn't
have
many
meetings
because
at
the
time,
mr
mayor,
there
was
not
much
activity
going
on
in
a
landfill
other
than
negotiating
back
and
forth
with
the
host
agreement.
D
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
the
host
agreement,
mr
mayor,
has
been
on
back
and
forth
since
2015,
it's
almost
six
years
now.
This
is
only
to
talk
about.
What's
the
host
agreement
can
expect
from
us
from
the
company-
and
I
know
mr
mirsam
might
say:
oh
we
receive
that
much.
We
should
receive
more,
we
should
receive.
This
is
really
we
can't
compare.
We
had
even
an
out
outsourced.
The
report
from
kpmg
have
comparison
with
other
municipalities.
D
Unfortunately,
we
cannot
name
those
municipality
because
an
agreement
of
confidentiality,
but
nevertheless
each
agreement
is
different.
Mr
mayor
and
some
of
those
agreement,
they
might
receive
a
little
bit
more
funding
for
the
hosa
clinton
partners,
but
then
they
committed
to
give
their
waste
to
to
that
specific
landfill,
which
is
we
don't
have
in
our
agreement.
Our
agreement,
the
city,
is
free
to
choose
who
the
waste
can
receive
our
residential
waste.
Obviously,
there's
70
percent
of
the
waste
in
the
city
of
ottawa
is
icr,
which
is
that's
not
controlled
by
the
city
of
ottawa.
D
Again,
I
don't
wanna,
you
know,
make
it
sound.
We
are
pushing.
This
is
the
the
host
agreement.
It's
in
it,
everything
we
can
ask
for
and
and
is
committed
from
waste
management
and
also
an
agreement
to
make
sure
the
future
is.
Obviously
we
can
hold
waste
management
fee
to
the
to
the
fire.
This
is
where
also
making
sure
if
we
start
receiving
complaint
order
or
other
what
we
have
in
2006,
which
we
have
you
know
we
have
access
to
the
mystery
environment.
D
So
with
that,
mr
mayor,
I'm
not
sure
if
I
know
my
calling,
but
I
just
want
to
take
this
moment
to
say
thank
you
to
one
of
the
one
of
the
plc
meeting
who
who
we
have
lost
passed
away
after
the
last
meeting
in
april
bob
was,
was
you
know
it
was
a
was
with
our
committee
from
day
one
and
unfortunately
passed
away
after
april.
Bob
hillary
is,
I
believe,
from
canada
north,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
he's
been
on
a
committee
from
day
one.
D
A
Yes,
if
I
could,
first
of
all,
I
think
it's
important
to
acknowledge
the
work
that
the
community
has
done
in
reviewing
and
sharing
their
comments,
both
in
this
municipal
host
agreement.
That's
in
front
of
us,
but
going
back
a
number
of
years.
I
actually
remember
meeting
with
mr
harold
moore.
It
was
nearly
eight
years
ago
last
week.
I
guess
that
I
first
met
with
him
and
several
of
the
advocates
who've
been
very
involved
in
this
file.
At
that
time
he
was
a
resident
in
in
west
carleton.
A
There
are
a
lot
of
provisions
within
the
environmental
approval,
around
monitoring
of
things
like
odor
of
things
of
groundwater,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
public
is
aware
of
the
results
of
that
monitoring
and
that
there
is
a
accountability
around
it.
I'm
going
to
have
some
questions
for
staff
on
the
compensation,
but
I
also
just
want
to
note
we
are
the
report
recommendations
that
we
direct
staff
to
come
back
to
us
with
recommendations
on
how
to
process
accounting
around
how
the
compensation
money
is
spent
and
that's
important
as
well.
A
I
think
the
previous
agreement
and
previous
process
for
that
was
not
particularly
clear
to
the
public
and,
I
think,
there's
some
improvements.
We
need
there.
So
that's
important
as
well.
Anyways,
like
I
said
I'll,
have
some
questions
for
the
applicant
and
for
staff
as
we
go
and
looking
forward
to
the
discussion
today,
great.
B
Thank
you,
councillor,
moffat,
anything
before
we
go
to
the
delegation,
nothing
for
me.
Thank
you,
okay,
so
I
know
you
know
this.
This
project
impacts
canada
as
well,
so
we'll
we'll
go
to
our
delegation.
Tanya
hine
tanya
welcome
nice
to
see
you
again.
I
normally
see
you
at
canada
day,
but
we
haven't
been
able
to
touch
base
on
on
that
special
event
in
stittsville
for
a
couple
of
years.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
we
received
also
the
letter
that
you
sent
sent
to
us.
E
Thank
you.
As
I
said,
my
name
is
tanya
hein
and
I'm
here
representing
the
stittsville
village
association,
but
also,
as
a
concerned
resident
he's
really
been
involved
with
this
effort
for
most
of
the
last
decade.
It's
you
know,
it's
been
a
marathon
and,
I
think,
a
lot
of
the
volunteers.
The
advocates
were
feeling
the
strain
of
this,
and
you
know
it's
been
such
an
effort
to
get
the
information
even
just
with
this
last
draft
agreement.
E
I
know
there
are
processes
for
when
you're,
when
you're
trying
to
do
the
negotiations,
but
it
it's
really
felt
like
a
bit
of
a
information
void
from
a
public
perspective,
so
I
did
rush
after
we
found
out
about
the
draft
last
week
to
submit
comments
over
the
long
weekend.
I
did
miss
the
deadline,
but
I'm
glad
you
did
get
those
so
I'm
not
going
to
read
them
all
verbatim
from
a
community
perspective.
I
wanted
to
touch
on
the
fact
that
we
know
we
have
to
accept
the
new
landfill
as
eli
mentioned.
E
We're
not
happy
about
it,
but
it
is
what
it
is
it's
reality,
but
given
that
it
is
a
reality,
what
we
want
now
is
the
maximum
community
benefit.
I
remember
early
in
the
presentations
you
know
there
was
talk
about
having
community
recreation,
space
and
state-of-the-art
recycling
and
diversion
facilities,
and
you
know
those
those
elements.
Those
community
benefits
have
really
been
watered
down
over
the
course
of
this
process,
so
we're
left
with
money
and
I'd
really
like
to
see
more
of
it
than
what
was
proposed
in
the
agreement.
E
I'd
appreciate
also
some
clarification
on
how
the
proposed
rates
came
about
eli
mentioned
it
and
that
there
were
some.
You
know
comparables
done,
but
I
just
like
a
little
bit
more
detail
and
some
clarification
about
why
this
particular
community's
burden
is
less
than
the
burden
other
communities
face
when
they
have
a
landfill.
E
It
really
feels
something
like
haggling
to
buy
a
car.
When
you
know
you
wonder
if
you're
getting
as
good
a
deal
as
dear
neighbor,
except
in
this
case,
the
public
was
really
shut
out
of
the
consultation
and
negotiation
process
still
with
the
fees
glenn
mentioned
it,
but
I
don't
like
how
the
process
happened.
E
Last
time,
it
was
really
hard
for
the
public
to
have
any
kind
of
input
into
what
projects
you
know
might
be
funded
by
the
funds,
and
there
was
really
no
way
for
the
average
resident
to
sort
of
look
at
how
much
money
is
available,
what's
even
possible.
So
right
now,
the
way
the
agreement
is
worded.
I
really
don't
like
that.
Waste
management
has
any
say
in
how
the
community
money
might
be
spent.
I
can
understand
them
not
wanting
something
that
goes.
E
Moving
on
from
that,
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
wording
in
the
service
area.
Section
that
states,
without
the
consent
of
the
general
manager,
planning
infrastructure
and
economic
development
department
or
her
or
his
successor,
waste
management,
will
not
dispose
of
the
landfill
of
any
eligible
waste
other
than
eligible
waste
generated
within
the
boundaries
of
the
service
area,
and
then
it
goes
on.
I
was
wondering
what
circumstances
that
might
that
consent
might
come
into
play
like
what
would
happen
where
waste
could
be
accepted
from
outside
that
area.
E
A
A
E
I
know
the
the
clclc
a
lot
of
letters
there.
I
had
made
some
recommendations
for
rates
that
were
more
around
the
five
dollar
range
or
possibly
higher
than
that.
You
know
that
may
not
be
fair
and
they
they
looked
at
other
landfills
in
the
province
and
other
places
just
to
kind
of
get
those
numbers.
They
looked
at
the
the
site
and
the
advantages
that
it
holds
for
waste
management.
I
think
phil,
sweden
probably
sent
you
some
extensive
information
on
that
and
so
yeah
there's
there's
precedent
in
the
province
for
a
bit
higher
rate.
A
E
When
you
enter
the
community,
if
you're
coming
off
the
highway,
of
course,
the
first
thing
you
see
is
landfill.
It's
not
a
great
welcome
to
the
area
going
back
a
few
years
or
odor
was
an
issue.
I
live
a
couple
kilometers
away
from
the
landfill
and
there
were
several
times
when
we
could
really
smell
it
in
the
air.
I
know
people
that
lived
a
lot
closer
or,
in
you
know,
kind
of
the
downwind
areas
they
also
suffered
from
it.
E
So
there's
a
lot
of
concern
a
lot
of
residual
concern,
I
think,
just
sort
of
based
on
the
past
performance
of
landfill
in
the
community.
Nobody
wants
landfill
in
a
residential
community
in
a
suburban
area.
We
really
need
to
be
focusing
more
on
diversion
and
moving
away
from
landfill.
I
don't
think
it's
appropriate
to
have
it
in
this
area
where
people
are
living.
D
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
tanya.
Thank
you
so
much
for
hanging
there
with
us
all
these
years.
I
must
say
it's
been
a
long
time,
and
you
mentioned
in
your
remark
about
mr
sweetman
and
jerry
augusta
or
harold
moore,
also
this
submit
to
us
their
comment
and
all
those
comments
we
took
them
very
seriously.
D
But
you
can
compare
april,
because
the
comparison
was
very
hard
because
every
agreement
has
other
condition
with
it,
which
is
the
city
was
not
willing
because
the
city
is
in
the
process
to
extend
the
life
of
the
landfill.
In
trail
road
and
we're
trying
every
best
we
do,
recycle
or
you
know,
reduce
the
garbage.
So
for
that
reason
we
didn't
want
to
enter
any
contract
for
the
household
garbage
to
go
to
to
to
the
car
planter.
D
Maybe
if
we
did
sign
a
contract
and
pay
someone
support
and
we
can
get
more
money
on
the
other
and,
like
some
municipality
did,
but
that
really
that's
that's
not
going
what
what
we
need
from
here
on
to
make
sure
we
don't
have
repeat
of
what
happened
in
2006.,
the
order,
the
traffic
jam
and
other.
I
think
that's
what
this
agreement
will
focus
on
those.
E
So
I
appreciate
those
those
comments,
but
just
you
know
from
my
perspective.
Yes,
we're
trying
to
extend
the
life
of
the
trail
facility
and
keep
ottawa's
garbage
there,
and
we
don't
have
to
have
that
contract,
but
then
we
are
having
this
burden
of
landfill
for
other
communities
garbage
and
from
a
community
community
perspective.
I
mean
that's
even
more
offensive.
D
Kenya,
you
and
I
we
agree,
we
have
we
tried
very
hard
and
they
were
granted
through
the
ea
from
the
prom
long
time
ago
and
we
tried
very
hard
to
negotiate
back
and
forth
and
I,
in
my
opinion,
we
arrive
where
we
are,
but
there's
no
compensation.
What
I'm
trying
to
say
to
you
is
going
to
make
this
a
sexy
thing
to
have,
as
on
the
entrance
of
the
west
end
of
the
city.
B
B
Questions
now
to
staff.
Could
I
just
ask
just
an
opening
question
refresh
our
memory
in
terms
of
what
role
outside
the
city
of
ottawa
boundaries
garbage
will
play
in
this
site?
I
know
this
was
something
that
eli
and
glenn
and
len's
predecessor
certainly
fought
hard
to
ensure
that
there
wasn't.
You
know
toronto
garbage
coming
to
ottawa.
So
what?
What
are
the
parameters?
Who's,
gonna
answer,
that
from
staff.
F
G
B
A
G
Mr
chair,
there
is
no
statutory
requirement
for
a
host
fee
and
therefore
there's
there's
no
legislation
that
outlines
an
acceptable
range
for
a
host
fee
for
municipality,
and
so
staff
has
conducted
extensive
research,
including
information,
that's
commercially,
sensitive
and
and
was
provided
to
the
city
on
a
confidential
basis.
From
other
municipalities
and
information
about
other
landfills
in
north
america
generally,
it
may
not
be
the
highest
amount
that
is
out
there.
G
I
know
that
some
residents
have
advised
council
members
of
the
twin
creeks
landfill
and
that
seems
to
be
significantly
higher
for
a
comparison.
I
will
tell
you
I'll
start
off
by
saying
first
that
each
landfill
has
to
be
assessed
on
its
own
unique
characteristics
and
basis,
but
for
twin
creeks
in
particular.
G
It's
the
the
county
uses
that
twin
creeks
extensively
and
for
comparison,
the
carp
landfill
is
receiving
400
000
tons
of
fill
or
waste
per
year
and
twin
creeks
is
a
landfill
that
will
receive
at
the
outset
of
its
host
agreement.
It
was
receiving
750
000
tons
and
that
has
been
increased
to
1.4
million
tons
of
waste
per
year,
making
it
likely
one
of
the
the
largest
landfills
in
the
ontario
area,
if,
if
not
in
in
canada,
and
so
for
comparison.
As
I've
said,
this
landfill
has
a
cap
of
400
000
tons.
G
It
is
significantly
lower
and
twin
creeks
as
another
example
also
subsidizes,
that
particular
landfill.
It
is
the
municipal
landfill,
and
so
there
are
rebates
and
there
are
guarantees
of
municipal
waste
that
go
to
twin
creeks
in
terms
of
obligations
upon
the
city
in
terms
of
tying
up
their
business
arrangements,
to
ensure
that
the
capacity
is
met
on
a
contracted
basis.
That
obligation
does
not
exist
here.
A
G
A
G
A
Okay,
the
question
of
service
area
has
already
come
up
a
few
times
through
the
negotiation
staff
have
achieved
a
smaller
service
area
than
what
the
provincial
approval
was
for.
Was
that
a
factor
in
the
compensation
I'm
wondering
if,
if
a
trade-off
for
accepting
garbage
from
a
smaller
footprint,
meant
a
lower
compensation
rate
for
the
city
in
return,
because
I
would
think
waste
management
is
at
a
disadvantage
for
from
having
a
wider
service
area.
G
Mr
mayor,
the
the
reduced
service
area
was
a
major
point
for
the
city
of
ottawa
and,
as
a
result,
it
did
impact
our
ability
to
negotiate
a
significantly
higher
host
fee
simply
because
the
were
they
are
at
a
financial
disadvantage.
They
were
committed
to
adhering
to
the
city's
concerns.
They
they
heard
it
through
the
ea
process.
G
They
heard
it
through
the
approval
process
and
they
heard
it
again
during
the
site
plan
process
and
therefore,
given
the
circumstances
surrounding
this
negotiation,
staff
felt
it
was
better
to
hold
firm
on
a
reduced
service
area
that
includes
penalties
and
audit
ability
for
the
service
area
and
the
transfer
of
origin
where
that
waste
is
generated
rather
than
an
arbitrary
amount
of
five
dollars.
Eight
dollars
ten
dollars
twelve
dollars,
because
at
that
point
it's
almost
nickel
and
diming,
as
opposed
to
ensuring
there
is
a
reasonable
host
fee
for
reasonable
trade-offs.
A
Thank
you
christine.
I
know
it's
outside
of
our
ability
to
direct
as
a
committee,
but
I
I
do
think
we
should
be
asking
waste
management
to
look
at
amending
their
ea,
their
their
provincial
approval
to
reduce
that
service
area
and
reflect
what
they've
agreed
to
with
the
city,
because
it
does
seem
like
it's
still
quite
a
disconnect
between
the
host
municipality
agreement
and
their
provincial
approval.
I
have
two
other
questions
and
they're
about
the
compensation.
A
G
Mr
chair,
waste
management
wants
to
ensure
that
the
money
from
their
landfill
benefits
the
community
and
therefore
they
simply
want
to
be
aware
of
how
the
city
is
spending
that
money.
It's
my
understanding
that
it's
a
consultative
role
only,
but
that
where
there
are
certain
initiatives
in
terms
of
the
community
initiative
fee,
that's
in
the
host
agreement,
they
they
do
want
people
in
the
community
to
know
that
the
benefit
that
they
are
enjoying
is
a
result
of
this
business
and
their
community.
A
G
While
this,
while
the
landfill
is
projected
if
it
fills
up
very
quickly
at
11.4
years,
the
agreement
itself
extends
over
a
term
of
20
years
to
ensure
that
the
city
is
capturing
and
the
the
dynamic
nature
of
a
landfill
for
lean
years
and
and
years
where
they
reach
their
maximum
tonnage.
And
so
there
is
an
inflationary
rate
that
is
included
and
that
inflationary
rate
will
start
on
the
first
day
following
the
end
of
each
five
contract
years
increment
and
it's
to
maintain
the
value
of
the
dollar.
G
Mr
mayor
certainly,
council
gets
to
make
its
own
decision
on
this.
However,
the
city
of
ottawa
did
establish
a
condition
of
site
plan
approval,
the
execution
of
this
host
agreement,
and
if
the
city
itself
is
the
obstacle
to
waste
management,
fulfilling
that
condition,
I
suspect,
in
light
of
the
years
and
years
that
it's
taken
to
get
to
this
point,
waste
management
could
legally
challenge
the
conditions
of
the
site
plan
in
order
to
pull
their
development
permits
and
begin
work.
A
H
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
just
want
to
thank
councillor
al
santeri
for
his
leadership
on
this
committee.
I
think
we've
been
doing
this
for
like
10
years,
and
there
was
quite
a
few
meetings
along
the
way.
I
think
we
should
also
say
thanks
to
all
our
staff
that
were
involved
with
this
very
complex
agreement
and
also
I
see
wayne
francis
with
us
from
waste
management.
H
He
was
the
liaison
to
the
committee
from
the
company,
and
I
I
know
personally,
I
always
found
him
very
forth-
writing
what
he
would
share
with
us
when
we
would
ask
questions
and
so
on.
So
I
think
we
need
to
acknowledge
that
that
we
we
arrived
at
the
point
we're
at
because
of
the
cooperation
between
eli,
as
our
committee
chair
and
and
wayne
as
the
co-chair.
H
H
You
know
the
the
resident
from
stittsville
was
talking
about
the
smell,
that
smell
came
from
waste
that
had
just
been
deposited
and
not
treated
properly
there
or
covered,
or
anything
for
years
and
years
until
waste
management
came
in
and
actually
brought
best
practices
in
the
in
the
landfill
industry
to
this
location,
and
that's
why
you
don't
hear
about
the
smell
anymore
we
used
to
10
years
ago.
We
don't
anymore,
so
I
think
that's
worth
technology
now
we're
dealing
with
a
totally
different
landfill
than
what
we
started
with
here,
and
so
that's
it.
H
Mr
mayor,
I
just
want
to
oh
and
also
thank
you
like
for
mentioning
bob
hillary
who
was
on
the
committee
the
whole
time
with
us.
I
actually
served
with
him
on
the
committee
of
adjustment
for
the
city
of
kanata
back
in
the
90s
as
well,
so
I
knew
him
for
many
years
and
and
very
sad
to
hear
of
his
passing.
So
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
G
Mr
mayor,
that
is
certainly
my
understanding,
but
I
am
not
an
expert
in
this
business.
We
do
have
solid
waste
staff
with
us
and
we
do
have
the
engineer
who
has
spoken
quite
extensively
on
this
from
waste
management
as
to
how
they
can
assure
us
from
their
auditing
and
their
business
practices
that
the
service
area
will
be
respected.
I
know
that
bill
mcdonough
is
on
here,
mr
mayor,
if
you
would
like
to
hear
from
him
on
that
point,.
H
H
I
do
know
that
it's
widely
used
in
michigan,
because
in
michigan
waste
has
to
be
tracked
between
counties
and
authorized
between
counties,
so
our
software
tracks
that
and
it
is
audible,
so
we
know
where
the
waste
comes
from
is:
is
it
possible
for
somebody
to
sneak
it
in
sure
someone
can
always
sneak
something
in,
but
we
watch
for
that.
Our
gate
people
are
conscious
that
they
need
to
know
who
the
customer
is
when
they're
coming
in
and
what
the
source
is.
If
they
don't
know,
they'll
verify
it.
So
I
feel
we
have
a.
I
All
right,
thank
you
for
that,
and
then
just
the
final.
The
final
thing
I
had
just
on
the-
and
perhaps
this
comes
up
next
year
when
we
talk
about
the
the
monetary
aspect
of
it,
but
the
oddity
of
of
war
21
and
that
it's
somehow
closer
to
the
landfill
than
this
phil
ward
is
we're
both
closer
and
further,
because
for
whatever
reason
where
north
and
south
just
did
so
now
we're
changing
that
that
ward
boundary
changes,
ward,
21
now
shifts
over
and
the
line
it's
no
longer
directly
adjacent
to
the
landfill.
G
D
B
D
B
D
D
There
is
no
statutory
obligation
for
waste
management
to
pay
the
host
fee,
but
they
understand
the
public
perception
of
landfill,
no
matter
how
carefully
operated
and
agreed
to
pay
a
host
fee
with
zero
commitment
from
the
city
to
subsidize
the
fee
with
the
city
waste,
they
agree
to
reduce
service
area
and
committed
to
the
production
of
information
to
the
city
quebec,
but
as
a
result
of
the
ongoing
negotiation
and
pursue
from
the
city,
withdrew
that
application
and
made
the
commitment
to
the
reduced
area.
So
basically
we
don't
receive
government
from
quebec.
D
So
where
the
provide.
I
know
this
landfill
will
provide
job
in
the
area
and
they're
also
providing
the
outside
of
the
host
agreement.
A
new
lane
on
car
pro
to
assist
with
the
truck
traffic,
which
is
benefit
costs
in
proximity,
one
million
dollars
all
the
staff
are
nothing
clear
as
a
part
of
the
hostel.
D
So
basically
that
million
dollars
over
above
I'm
not
making
it
sound
or
we
we
get
everything
we
we
want,
but
I
believe
we
get
everything
we
can
negotiate
for
and
if
we
walk
away
like
somebody
suggested,
if
we
don't
approve
this
host
agreement,
that
mean
will
be
no
landfill.
Well,
make
no
mistake:
they
can
appeal
that
and
they
can
receive
approval
without
any
condition,
and
we
will
be
without
a
host
agreement.
D
D
D
This
is
your
vote
today
is
not
on
the
life
of
the
landfill.
It's
not
about
waste,
it's
not
about
it's
about
the
host
agreement,
legal
binding
with
the
company
and
that's
what
we'll
be
voting
on,
and
I
hope
I
can.
I
can
receive
your
support
on
this
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
miss
intel
because
still
five
to
11
last
night
was
still
in
communication
with
me
on
on
a
long
weekend.
I
want
thanks
to
all
staff
for
their
support
and
answering
a
question
to
all
of
us.
D
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
member
of
the
plc.
I
know
it's
not
all
counselor
on
a
committee.
Some
of
them
are
a
resident
of
our
catchment
area
and
the
committee
will
be
meeting
on
regular
base
from
here
on
when
the
operation
kicks
back
and
we
will
be
posting
our
minute.
We
didn't
post
the
last
minute
because
there
was
in
camera
meeting
mr
man
and
we
heard
about
it.
Why
was
not
posted
that
was
in
camera
meeting
between
the
cities,
legal
and
the
council
and
the
committee
member?
D
A
Thank
you,
mr.
I
want
to
thank
the
committee
for
allowing
the
time
that
we
spent
on
this
today.
It
is
a
very
important
issue
for
residents
in
stittsville
and
the
other
wards
in
the
area.
It's
a
bit
of
a
sleeping
giant.
A
lot
of
the
people
who
live
in
stittsville
now
moved
in
after
the
current
landfill
operation
stopped
operating.
A
So
I've
had
some
people
ask
me:
what's
that
ski
hill
over
on
the
on
the
other
side
of
the
queensway,
a
lot
of
people,
don't
even
know
that
this
is
a
landfill,
and
so
I
know
when
it
begins
operating
again
with
the
additional
truck
traffic
and
the
impact
from
the
waste
being
collected.
It's
going
to
continue
to
be
a
big
concern
for
the
community.
A
I
was
struggling
a
bit
if
there
was
a
direction
or
a
motion
that
I
could
make
in
recognition
of
the
role
of
the
public
liaison
committee
I
was
struggling.
Is
there?
Is
there
a
direction
to
staff
we
could
do,
but
the
public
liaison
committee
is
a
responsibility
of
staff
and
I
think,
as
the
five
counselors
who
are
a
member
of
the
public
committee
in
this
area,
so
the
public
liaison
committee,
it's
the
five
local
councillors,
it's
four
members
of
the
public
and
a
representative
from
waste
management.
A
This
committee
has
not
met
regularly
because
the
landfill
has
not
been
in
operation,
but
once
it
does
start
operating.
This
will
be
a
very
important
committee
to
ensure
transparency
and
accountability
around
the
landfills
operation
and
I'm
not
going
to
direct
staff
to
change
the
operations,
because
it's
on
us
as
committee
members
to
make
sure
that
we're
improving
the
transparency
and
accountability
that
that
public
liaison
committee
is
supposed
to
bring
so,
for
example,
for
regular
meetings,
making
sure
that
minutes
are
published.
Agendas
are
published
for
the
monitoring,
groundwater,
monitoring
and
odor
monitoring.
A
That
committee
receives
information
reports
for
information
and
comment
only,
but
we
should
be
finding
a
mechanism
to
share
that
information
with
the
public
in
electronic
form.
Even
the
annual
reports
from
the
landfill
are
usually
only
provided
in
paper
format.
That's
not
very
accessible
for
our
residents,
so
I
just
want
to
ask
to
my
fellow
public
liaison
committee
members
who
are
here
today.
A
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
improving
the
openness
and
transparency
of
that
committee,
so
that
the
public
has
greater
confidence
and
awareness
of
that
that
the
waste
management
and
the
province
are
living
up
to
the
the
requirements
that
they
have
under
the
provincial
environmental
approval.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
D
D
We
receive
it
in
a
book
folder
and
we
pass
it
among
ourselves
as
a
plc
member
when
we
need,
but
that's
not
really
the
plc's
report
and
it's
not
even
waste
management
report,
the
ministry,
that's
how
they
choose
and
they
said
any
comment
you
can
send
it
to
the
ministry
directly.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure-
and
I
said
it-
council
government,
as
a
committee
once
the
operations
start
go
back
in
the
landfill.
D
B
C
A
A
H
I
F
B
B
B
J
Yes,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor.
It's
my
distinct
pleasure
today
to
present
a
summary,
an
update
on
the
progress
of
the
city's
corporate
diversity
and
inclusion
plan
that
has
been
developed
by
the
equity
secretariat
of
the
gender
and
race,
equity,
inclusion,
indigenous
relations
and
social
development,
service
of
community
and
social
services
department.
This
plan
has
been
built
in
collaboration
with
our
human
resources
and
in
consultation
with
all
city
departments
and
our
external
stakeholders.
J
The
city's
strategic
plan
that
was
approved
by
council
in
december
2019
established
the
road
map
to
continue
the
city's
journey
to
build
an
inclusive
workforce
that
is
healthy,
diverse
adoptive
and
engaged
in
january
of
2020.
The
senior
leadership
team
approved
the
first
city,
corporate
diversity
and
inclusion
plan
as
one
of
the
priorities
under
this
thriving
workforce
strategic
priority
of
council.
J
Today
we
are
requesting
the
committee
recommend
that
council
receive
this
report
for
information
to
champion
the
city-wide
implementation
of
this
plan.
This
plan
will
initiate
the
systemic
change
and
cultural
transformation
that
really
is
at
the
heart
of
the
plan's
objectives
to
create
and
sustain
a
representative
workforce
and
an
inclusive
workplace.
C
C
I
did
do
a
presentation
in
june
on
an
update
of
our
anti-racism
secretariat,
we'll
just
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
the
vision
of
the
plan
is
that
the
city
of
ottawa
strives
to
set
an
example
to
all
residents
and
municipalities
across
the
country,
demonstrating
its
commitment
to
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion,
and
it
strives
to
ensure
that
its
workforce
is
reflective
of
the
population.
It
serves
and
nurtures
a
respectful
and
inclusive
culture
where
all
employees
experience
a
sense
of
belonging.
C
We
work
with
the
understanding
that
building
an
inclusive
workforce
ensures
that
a
diversity
of
minds,
experiences
and
perspectives
are
shaping
and
leading
the
city's
operations
and
services,
and
we
believe
that
when
all
employees
experience
a
sense
of
belonging
feel
socially
connected,
supported
and
appreciated.
This
translates
to
high
performance,
engagement
and
confidence
in
the
value
an
individual
brings
to
their
workplace
next
slide.
C
Our
plan
recognizes
that
individuals
who
come
from
different
backgrounds
can
encounter
barriers
towards
reaching
their
full
potential.
Therefore,
our
strategy
is
situated
in
principles
of
equity,
to
ensure
everyone
has
access
to
the
same
opportunities
as
such.
Our
approaches
are
attentive
to
indigenous
sovereignty,
systemic
racism,
intersectional
identities
and
the
need
to
listen,
hear
and
act
next
slide.
Please.
C
From
these
three
pillars,
we've
identified
52
actions
that
are
grounded
in
evidence-based
practices
and
grouped
under
the
following
areas
of
focus,
outreach,
recruitment
and
hiring
partnerships
and
engagement,
learning
and
awareness,
accountability,
governance
and
policy
review,
and
these
areas
of
focus
are
underpinned
by
data
management
and
workforce
analytics
to
monitor
our
progress
next
slide.
Please.
C
Next
slide,
please,
so
this
slide
depicts
some
of
our
corporate
accomplishments,
since
the
implementation
of
our
plan
and
some
notable
mentions
include
the
development
of
the
lead.
It
strategy
hiring
process
which
aims
to
increase
the
representation
of
the
city.
Workforce
leadit
stands
for
leverage,
equity,
sorry,
leverage,
equity
to
achieve
diversity
and
inclusion
targets.
C
We
offer
approximately
24
learning
modules
to
raise
diversity
and
inclusion
competencies
across
the
corporation,
and
we
understand
accountability,
governance
and
policy
are
essential
in
supporting
the
achievement
and
sustainability
to
the
plan.
As
such,
a
reporting
template
was
created
for
departments
with
process
and
outcome
indicators
to
allow
for
greater
consistency
and
ease
of
gathering
information.
C
Progress
on
the
plan
is
then
reported
on
a
biannual
basis
to
the
senior
leadership
team
to
ensure
accountability
in
addition
to
our
corporate
accomplishments.
Each
department
have
numerous
achievements
under
these
five
areas
of
focus,
some
of
which
are
highlighted
within
our
report.
Next
slide,
please.
C
This
data
includes
active,
full-time,
part-time
and
casually
federally
casual
federally
and
provincially
regulated
staff.
Our
workforce
representation
is
measured
against
the
2018
regional
occupational
workforce
availability,
which
is
the
share
of
the
canadian
workforce
with
the
skills
and
competencies
available
to
work
within
designated
occupations.
C
Our
occupational
workforce
targets
are
visually
represented
here
in
gray,
and
the
orange
represents
our
most
recent
data,
while
the
blue
bar
represents
our
starting
point
at
the
onset
of
the
plan,
and
so
across
the
corporation.
The
data
is
encouraging,
with
the
representation
of
indigenous
peoples,
members
of
visible
minorities
and
persons
with
disabilities
trending
upwards
across
all
staff.
C
We
do
see
a
slight
decrease
of
a
0.7
percentage
point
for
women.
One
thing
that
I'll
mention
is
that
in
this
slide
you
see
the
workforce
representation
across
the
corporation,
but
our
workforce
targets
for
each
employment
equity
group
will
vary
by
department
as
they
are
established
based
on
occupational
availability.
C
So,
for
example,
across
the
corporation,
we
have
a
target
of
43.3
percent
representation
of
women.
However,
within
community
and
social
services,
where
most
occupations
are
often
held
by
women,
the
workforce
availability
target
for
women
is
around
seventy
percent,
while
in
finance
we'll
see
it's
about
fifty
percent
and
transport.
It's
twenty
percent-
and
I
just
offer
this
distinction
to
to
provide
some
important,
contextual
piece.
C
Our
representation
for
women
also
surpass
the
workforce
availability
targets
and
we
see
opportunities
to
increase
our
diversity
of
management
for
indigenous
peoples
and
members
of
visible
minorities.
We
are
currently
applying
an
equity
lens
on
our
succession
planning
to
support
diversification
of
management
staff.
C
So,
in
addition
to
the
four
employment
equity
groups,
the
city
recognizes
the
wide
range
of
diversity
within
its
workforce,
and
so
we
also
collect
and
track
workforce
representation
of
immigrants,
newcomers
and
those
who
identify
within
the
2s,
lgbt
qqia
plus
community
and
as
part
of
our
workforce
analytics.
We
will
be
drilling
down
further
to
understand
the
intersectional
intersectionality
represented
of
our
representation
of
our
staff,
so
that
we
are
able
to
measure
and
understand
overlapping
identities
such
as
the
number
of
indigenous
women
or
someone
who
is
a
newcomer,
visible
minority
living
with
disabilities.
C
C
We
will
continually
seek
to
identify
opportunities
to
amplify
the
impacts
of
our
efforts
with
examples,
as
noted
on
this
slide,
and
we
are
pleased
to
have
shared
some
highlights
of
the
corporate
diversity
and
inclusion
plan
and
recommend
that
council
receive
this
report
for
information.
This
brings
us
to
the
end
of
our
presentation.
I
too
would
like
to
thank
our
senior
leadership
team
leadership
from
the
fedco
members
and
council,
and
also
to
thank
the
incredible
and
tireless
efforts
of
our
staff.
B
K
As
noted
in
the
excellent
in-depth
report,
the
report
really
does
quantify
the
gaps
between
our
city's
diverse
population
and
identifiable
employment
equity
groups.
While
the
report
notes
that
the
city
is
trending
upwards
towards
meeting
its
employment
equity
workforce
represent
representational
targets
by
2024,
there
are
still
within
the
interim
substantive
representational
gaps,
especially
amongst
management.
K
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
so
recognizing
that
diversity,
representation
at
the
management
levels
is
essential
to
achieving
a
representative
workforce.
There
are
a
number
of
initiatives
in
place,
so
these
include
our
our
leaded
strategic
hiring
process,
which
again
is
leveraging
equity
to
achieve
diversity
and
inclusion
targets,
and
this
currently
focuses
on
strategic
hiring
for
our
external
and
management
professional
positions.
K
The
last
question
I
had
was
really
asking
you
to
describe
the
community
outreach
work
that
is
underway
or
that
is
being
contemplated
in
order
to
expand
employment
equity
across
the
board
through
the
city's
work
place,
especially
to
indigenous
black
racialized
communities,
along
with
persons
with
disabilities.
I
know
you
know
it's
often
a
battle
for
for
many
within
city
staff,
obviously
to
rise,
but
it's
also
a
battle
simply
to
get
into
the
city's
the
city
as
a
workplace.
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
so
we
consult
extensively
with
both
external
and
internal
stakeholders
as
it
relates
to
our
community
engagement.
We
work
very
closely
with
our
community
and
community
champions
table
network,
which
is
a
network
of
community
members
representing
diverse
organizations
and
groups.
C
I
think
our
membership
is
close
to
22
community
organizations
and
groups
who
meet
with
us
regularly
to
provide
us
with
feedback
and
insight
on
our
plan,
as
it
relates
to
recruitment
initiatives,
particularly
in
areas
where
we
wish
to
improve
our
representation,
and
so
we
also
consult
with
public
members
of
diverse
communities,
as
it
relates
to
our
to
informing
our
women
and
gender
equity
strategy,
as
well
as
our
anti-racism
strategy,
as
both
of
those
strategies
cross-cut
into
employment
equity
for
for
diverse
groups.
So
what
I?
C
And
we
continue
to
explore
additional
methods
to
reach
out
to
a
wider
audience
of
stakeholders
who
can
teach
us
and
how
we
can
engage
differently.
And
so
this
includes
going
to
meet
people
where
they
are
at
community
associations,
groups,
faith-based
establishments
or
community
health
and
resource
centers
to
advertise
and
share
job
opportunities
with
the
city.
K
Well,
I'm
pleased
that
all
that
work
is
underway,
especially
addressing
barriers.
We
hear
it
all
the
time
from
community
members
that
they
want
to
ensure
that
they
can.
They
can
surpass
the
barriers
that
are
put
in
their
way
so
that
they
can
actively
contribute
to
the
city
through
its
workforce
by
providing
services.
So
I'm
very
pleased
to
see
the
progress
that
is
being
made
in
terms
of
this
diversity
and
inclusion
plan
around
employment
equity.
K
We
heard
very
clearly
from
many
segments
of
of
the
city's
diverse
population
that
they
wanted
to
see
a
movement
on
employment
equity
and
I
believe
that
there
will
be
a
great
opportunity,
especially
at
the
senior
management
table,
with
the
senior
management
team
in
the
near
future,
for
us
to
see
some
more
diversity
and
some
more
diversification
in
the
senior
management
ranks.
So
I
really
do
appreciate
the
report
and
the
work
that
you've
done
and
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
D
D
And
I
asked
you
that
question,
and
so
you
I'm
sure
you
you
prepared
for
and
I'm
what
I'm
looking
for
more
than
anything-
and
I
heard
all
these
questions
from
my
colleague
council
king,
but
I'm
looking
for
the
measure
of
success,
so
the
measure
of
success
sometimes
is
not,
will
just
increase
the
number.
The
success,
in
my
opinion,
is
the
one
we
can
accommodate
on
this
day
because
in
the
past
some
studies
show
at
the
majority
of
people
leave
the
workforce
doesn't
matter
whether
city
government,
police
other,
is
from
women
and
visible
minorities.
D
C
C
These
are
some
examples
of
metrics
of
success.
In
addition,
you
know
looking
at
what
we're
hearing
from
our
infinity
groups
as
it
relates
to
employee
experiences,
what
behaviors
we're
seeing
change
as
it
relates
to
bias,
awareness,
training
or
anti-racism
training,
and
how
confident
our
leadership
is
in
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion,
competencies
and
conversations
that
they
engage
in
with
staff.
So
so
these
are
some
of
the
measures
of
what
we
feel
to
be
progress
and
success
that
we
would
be
reporting
back
to
council.
D
Thank
you
for
that,
mr
member
also
susan.
Some
of
the
some
of
the
collective
agreement
also
sometimes
come
to
play
with
the
accommodation.
Have
we
worked
with
the
the
union
leadership?
Whether
I
know
your
focus
on
the
city,
which
is
simple
and
said?
Has
that
discussion
been
in
place
for
for
the
collective
agreement.
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
We
have
engaged
in
conversations
with
labor
relations
and
the
unions
on
the
strategic
objectives
of
our
our
corporate
diversity
and
inclusion
plan
and,
as
I
had
shared
earlier,
our
priority
is
around
the
diversification
within
our
management
and
professional
exemption
positions
which
are
outside
of
the
union.
I
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
thank
you
suzanne
for
all
your
work.
We
we
met
earlier
and
I'm
really
impressed
with
how
far
we're
coming
so
fast.
It's
been
a
couple
years
since
we
just
got
these
things
going
and
already
we're
making
progress,
and
I
appreciate
the
use
of
data.
The
the
tracking,
which
I
think
is
is
a
first
I'm
not
mistaken,
for
us
is:
is
that
not
correct
suzanne
in
terms
of
just
tracking,
where
we
are
right
now
in
terms
of
of
our
diversity?
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
We
have
been
capturing
data,
but
this
is
the
first
time
that
we
have
established
targets
or
benchmarks,
and
these
are
targets
or
benchmarks,
as
it
relates
to
the
availability
of
employment,
equity
groups
for
designated
occupations
and
have
established
a
goal
in
an
effort
to
reach
these
targets
by
2024..
I
Thank
you,
and,
as
the
council
representative
on
gender
and
equity,
I
appreciate
the
intersectionality
that
is
necessary
as
well.
For
for
this
to
to
happen.
It's
it's
not
just
about
the
diversity
in
terms
of
of
other
classifications,
but
there's
al
there's
a
lot
of
intersectionality
happening
where
you
can
belong
to
you.
You
can
be
obviously
a
woman
and
and
be
part
of
a
a
group
of
a
diverse
group,
and
how
is
it
that
we're
working
in
terms
of
encouraging
more
participation
for
becoming
part
of
our
workforce.
C
At
present,
we
are
collecting
self-identification
data
for
six
groups,
indigenous
members
of
visible
minorities,
persons
with
disabilities,
gender,
the
2s,
lgbt,
qa
and
and
newcomers,
and
these
can
be
reported
so
that
we
measure
intersections
such
as
indigenous
women
or
visible
minority
living
with
a
disability.
Though
we
do
not
have
established
comparators
of
workforce
availability
for
these
intersectional
components.
C
It
still
gives
us
a
very
good
indication
of
our
workplace,
demographic
from
an
intersectional
lens,
and
we
are
also
moving
to
collect
disaggregate
data,
which
will
allow
us
to
capture
specific,
specific
ethnicities
under
the
umbrella
term,
visible
minorities
and
and
will
allow
us
to
further
specify.
For
example,
you
know
how
many
african,
canadian
black
employees
are
are
at
the
city
in
leadership
positions.
I
C
So,
mr
mayor,
I'm
not
able
to
speak
specifically
to
the
upcoming
gm
position
in
transportation,
but
we'll
continue
to
speak
to
the
work
of
our
lead.
It
strategic
hiring
process
that
looks
to
articulate
a
step-by-step
process
to
prioritize
the
hiring
of
employee
equity
designated
candidates
who
rank
highest
in
meeting
all
competencies.
I
Thank
you.
When
I
look
at
you
know
our
managements,
many
of
them
started.
You
know
at
different
positions,
just
coming
in
as
apprentices
or
whatever
and
and
working
their
way
up.
They've
worked
their
way
through
the
system,
and
I
think
that
it
requires
a
lot
of
patience
on
our
part,
but
are
we
encouraging
more
apprentice
programs?
This
is
more
don,
a
great
question,
because
I've
mentioned
this
before
about
the
need
to
work
with
communities
on
offering
more
apprentice
programs
so
that
we
can
have
those
position
people
in
place.
C
I'm
under
mr
mayor,
if
you'd
like
me
to
start
and
donna
made
shipping
we,
we
are
working
with
human
resources
to
ensure
outreach
for
positions,
and
we
do
have
a
variety
of
apprenticeships
and
internships
that
that
we
offer
so
we're
involved
in
various
programs
designed
to
diversify
our
city's
workforce.
An
example
of
that
would
be
our
youth
futures,
which
is
a
bilingual
program
that
strives
to
create
equitable
opportunities
for
youth
by
providing
training
and
mentorship
and
work
experience.
C
We
also
maintain
strong
partnerships
with
indigenous
community
partners
who
work
with
youth
and
we
participate
in
in
their
events,
as
it
relates
to
leadership
and
in
coaching
I
mentioned
earlier
that
we're
we're
offering
quite
a
bit
of
outreach
and
recruitment
initiatives
to
help
potential
candidates
with
applying
online
at
the
city,
and
we
also
sit
on
the
employee
assistance
and
resource
network
steering
committee
and
participate
regularly
in
their
job
mashing
sessions
to
help
people
living
with
disabilities
seek
employment.
Here
with
the
city.
C
We
do
have
outreach
and
engagement
specialists
as
well
as
hr
specialists
that
worked
with
departments
to
link
candidates
to
various
apprenticeship
opportunities
here
with
the
city
and-
and
this
is
something
that
we're
continuing
looking
to
explore
to
help
with
to
help
with
diversifying
our
workforce.
I
will
also
mention
that
we
work
with
executive
search
form
companies,
executive
search
companies
that
really
have
that
equity
diversity,
inclusion
lens
as
part
of
that
process
and
understand
our
priorities
and
ensuring
that
our
leadership
is
reflective
of
the
ottawa
community.
I
I
appreciate
that
I
think
it'd
be
helpful
to
talk
to
counselors
about
encouraging
people
to
apply
for
these
programs,
because
we
certainly
know
people
in
our
communities
and
different
groups.
I
know
you
work
with
a
lot
of
different
groups,
but
I
certainly
can
see
neighborhoods
and
communities.
That
would
be
very,
very
interested,
and
I
don't
know
where
to
send
them
at
this
point
and
I
think
it'll.
A
C
I
Thank
you.
I
I
know
that
there's
a
larger
group,
that's
growing
of
a
francophone
black
community
that
is
growing
in
ottawa
in
terms
of
immigration
from
countries
in
africa,
for
example,
and
I
think
there's
there's
a
lot
of
great
growth
there
and
lots
of
potential
of
wonderful
candidates.
So
just
include
on
the
program
we'll
see
messi,
because.
C
So
I
was
explaining
earlier
that
the
city
is
introducing
a
strategic
hiring
process
that
aims
to
attract
and
prioritize
candidates,
and
we
were.
We
were
looking
at
how
we
had
seen
a
slight
a
decrease
in
women
representation,
and
I
was
giving
context
that
you
know,
within
certain
departments,
like
community
social
services,
we'll
see
higher
workforce
availability
for
women,
because
many
of
these
occupations
are
generally
staffed
by
by
women.
C
The
city
is
paying
attention
to
occupations
that
are
traditionally
occupied,
perhaps
by
males
and
where
women
still
face
systemic
barriers.
So
departments
are,
are
paying
attention
to
where
gaps
exist
and
create
their
individual
diversity
departmental
plans
in
an
effort
to
identify
and
then
address
those
those
barriers
and,
in
addition
to
what
the
city
is
looking
at
as
it
relates.
C
What
department's
looking
at
as
it
relates
to
barriers
to
increasing
representation
for
women,
for
example,
within
their
area,
is
the
outreach
that
they're
doing
with
educational
systems
to
promote
women
in
some
of
these
non-traditional
careers?
So
some
specific
examples
include
the
women
in
uniform
program.
A
partnership
with
algonquin
college
and
other
departments
have
participated
in
conferences
within
the
sector
to
address
gender
specific
issues
and
continue
to
engage
with
community
to
to
encourage
the
hiring
of
women
in
some
of
these
positions
that
are
non-traditionally
held
by
women.
C
In
addition,
our
women
and
gender
equity
strategy
is
is
looking
very
much
at
employment
representation.
One
of
our
strategic
priorities
is:
is
that
representation
in
some
of
the
the
departments
where?
Where,
where
we're
seeing
where
we're
seeing
gaps,
so
there
is
a
corporate
responsibility
as
it
relates
to
the
plan,
but
each
department
has
their
unique
plans
that
they're
implementing
to
address
specific
culture
and
gaps
that
may
exist
within
their
department.
F
A
F
Where
you
see
a
lot
of
it's
part-time
work
right
and
you
come
in,
what
can
your
group
and
the
fundamentals
that
we've
put
in
place
influence
those
uptake
because
there
seems
to
be
kind
of
a
cookie
cutter
hiring
model
for
some
of
the
groups
that
generate
the
same
outcome?
So
I'm
curious
to
understand
how
the
corporate
goals
get
into
yeah.
The
reporting
is
one
structure
and-
and
we
I
hope
that
you
know
that-
will
give
us
good
data.
But
when
we
recognize
particular
groups
where
there
are
challenges,
is
it
you?
C
Yeah,
so
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
We
have
outreach
and
recruitment
specialists
in
addition
to
diversity
and
equity
specialists
that
work
with
departments
to
identify
and
tailor
interventions
unique
to
those
departments.
So
the
the
reporting
helps
us
with
being
accountable
to
our
plan,
but
the
interventions
are
very
much
tailored
to
the
barriers,
the
culture,
the
understanding
of
the
department,
specific
work
environment.
C
No,
I
was
just
gonna
say
you
know.
Some
of
this
can
range
from
you
know:
training
programs
targeted
for
women
to
some
of
the
partnerships
that
we're
holding
with
indigenous
organizations
to
some
of
the
cultural
and
learning
events
that
we're
offering
to
help
with
broadening
understanding
of
difference
and
to
help
with
broadening
a
culture
within
within
various
departments.
F
F
Doesn't
necessarily
know
what's
available
or
what
sort
of
employments
available
within
the
city
so,
and
that's
often
very
diverse
group
that
that
comes
in
through
their
studies
and
then
the
other
element
to
me
would
be
a
little
more
centralized.
I
think
you,
you
spoke
to
counselor
king
earlier
about
information
and
how
we
share
information
with
various
with
various
cultural
groups,
and
you
know
I
would
think
that
sometimes
it's
how
we
do
our
postings.
That
seems
complicated.
F
If
you
have
a
driver's
license,
you
know
it.
Sometimes
you
can
pick
up
a
really
good
good
offering
at
the
city,
so
just
leaving
you
with
those
food
for
thoughts
going
forward,
and
I
want
to
thank
you.
I
think
that
the
fundamentals
are
now
in
place,
and
I
know
it's
exciting
for
many
of
the
employees
at
the
city
who
see
the
importance
of
the
city
recognizing
the
changes
changing
face
of
ottawa
and
that's
exciting
for
all
of
us.
So
thank
you.
