What's
good
special
I,
want
to
extend
a
warm
welcome
to
the
family,
friends
and
colleagues
of
Albert
tang,
who
are
here
today.
A
Albert
is
a
true
leader,
an
active
member
of
the
Chinese
community
and
the
broader
Ottawa
community.
Here
in
our
nation's
capital,
he
was
on
the
board
of
the
Chinese
Community
Association,
the
Chinese
Building
Association
and
was
a
member
of
the
Freemason
Association
Albert
has
worked
tirelessly
for
the
community
has
done
much
to
help
Chinese
immigrants
integrate
into
the
area.
He
is
well
known
in
the
community
through
his
work
with
the
Ottawa
Chinese
community
service
center
and
the
great
work
that
they
do.
A
Albert
served
on
the
advisory
committee
to
publish
a
book
about
the
settlement
of
Chinese
immigrants
to
Canada.
The
book
was
written
by
Denis
Chong
and
is
now
available
in
libraries,
schools
and
at
public
events.
Albert's
dedication
to
the
community
stems
from
his
humble
beginnings
and
his
own
experiences
coming
to
Canada
as
a
young
man.
He
arrived
from
Hong
Kong
over
40
years
ago
and
through
hard
work
and
dedication
he
began
to
build
a
future
in
the
country
he
loved.
A
He
worked
very
hard
as
a
waiter
until
he
started
his
own
restaurant
on
somerset
street
and
he
now
helps
other
newcomers
to
settle
well
in
canada.
Albert
understands
the
importance
of
building
a
good
relationship
with
china
and
he
continues
to
work
with
people
who
share
an
interest
in
creating
business
opportunities
and
promoting
international
understanding.
He
was
involved
in
planning
and
building
the
spectacular
chinese
gateway
in
chinatown
and
was
successful
in
finding
skilled
skilled
builders
to
install
this
beautiful
gateway
directly
from
china,
I'd
like
to
take
an
opportunity
Albert.
A
B
Happy
new
year,
buzu
Madame
Monsieur
good
day.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
good
day,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
thank
you,
the
mayor
and
also
the
city
councilor
I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
you,
my
community
members,
my
family,
our
committee
member.
They
support
me
in
the
past
many
years
and
throughout
all
the
years,
with
the
help
and
support,
and
thanks
again
so
we
can
live
in
this
beautiful
city
all
while
so
we
call
home.
This
is
one
of
the
most
beautiful
city
in
the
world.
B
A
Good
morning,
the
beginning
of
a
new
year
always
brings
with
it
the
opportunity
to
look
back
and
acknowledge
what
we
have
accomplished
as
a
city
and
as
a
council.
It's
an
exercise
I
enjoy
going
through,
because
it
reminds
us
of
the
memorable
events
that
have
helped
define
our
city
in
the
last
year
and
give
us
an
opportunity
to
remember
how
our
community
came
together
with
our
city
growing
at
a
fast
pace,
and
so
many
issues
coming
before
us.
A
It's
easy
to
lose
sight
of
the
great
community
building
projects
that
are
constantly
taking
shape
around
us
before
I
start.
I
would
like
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
that
we
are
on
the
unceded
territory
of
the
Algonquin
people
who
have
lived
on
these
ancestral
lands
for
millennia,
I
value.
Our
ongoing
relationship
with
the
surrounding
Algonquin
communities
pick
walk
the
gone
kid
again:
ZB
and
the
Algonquin
of
Ontario
and
I
look
forward
to
working
continuing
our
work
together
to
improve
the
lives
of
our
residents.
A
As
I
look
back
on
this
past
year,
it's
easy
to
recognize
that
2017
was
a
great
year
of
celebrations
for
Ottawa.
Our
city
quickly
became
the
center
of
festivities,
as
our
country
came
together
in
its
nation's
capital
to
celebrate
Canada's
150th
anniversary
after
years
of
planning,
our
entire
community
embraced
the
celebrations
and
made
2017
an
unforgettable
year
in
Ottawa,
but
our
community
also
came
together
through
great
challenges
and
hardships,
like
we
had
rarely
seen
before
and
I'm
proud
of
how
we
rolled
up
our
sleeves
and
overcame
these
challenges
together.
The
way
Ottawa
n--'s
usually
do.
A
As
we
begin
the
fourth
and
final
year
of
councils
mandate,
I
want
to
highlight
some
of
the
progress
we've
made
together
in
2017
over
the
last
few
years
before
I
take
stock
of
the
work
that
remains
for
council
and
our
staff
to
achieve
in
2018.
As
you
might
have
guessed.
What
really
stood
out
for
me
over
the
past
year
is
the
success
of
our
Ottawa
2017
celebrations
and
the
boost
it
brought
to
our
city
and
to
our
local
pride.
A
There
is
absolutely
no
question
that
our
Ottawa
2017
events
had
a
significant
impact
on
our
local
economy
and
our
national
and
international
reputation
as
a
destination
of
choice.
For
example,
The
Conference
Board
of
Canada
report,
published
in
November,
indicated
that
Ottawa
Gatton
OHS
economy
will
enjoy
in
2017
and
2018
its
strongest
two-year
period
in
the
last
10
years.
The
report
also
forecasted
that
our
region's
GDP
would
increase
by
2.5
percent
in
2017
and
another
2.2
percent
in
2018,
adding
approximately
9100
jobs
to
our
economy.
A
The
study
went
on
to
say
that,
in
addition
to
an
increase
in
jobs
in
the
federal
public
service,
as
well
as
the
benefits
of
significant
infrastructure
investments
like
the
Confederation
Line,
our
region's
growth
also
benefited
from
an
increase
in
tourism
generated
as
a
result
of
our
2017
activities.
So
if
you
have
a
ma,
inin
a
foamy
table,
it.
A
A
Niced
in
the
LA
Times
as
being
cool
with
a
capital
C
and
the
New
York
Times
also
featured
Ottawa
and
an
article
recommending
all
the
hip
attractions
and
best
restaurants.
The
tourists
with
36
hours
to
spend
in
our
city
should
visit
Ottawa
shed
its
reputation
as
a
sleepy
government
town
and
as
emerging
as
an
exciting
and
dynamic
City
for
tourism
with
Ottawa
2017.
We
went
from
Ottawa
the
old
to
Ottawa
the
bald
our
12
month.
Long
program
of
events
gave
everyone
a
reason
to
visit
Ottawa.
A
We
kick
the
year
off
with
anise
tour,
historic
human
chain
of
400
kids
from
across
the
city
to
Parliament
Hill.
Each
child
passed
a
sacred
indigenous
flame
that
would
see
the
governor-general
reignite,
Canada's
Centennial
flame
first
lit
in
1967.
During
our
centennial
celebrations,
new
Zavala,
fair
and
severe
alvin
mikulina.
We.
A
Groups,
a
hundred
and
fifty
feet
in
the
air
to
offer
them
a
gourmet
dinner
or
cocktails
with
the
best
view
in
the
city,
more
than
three
thousand
people
enjoyed
this
experience
called
Sky
Lounge,
which
had
a
ninety-eight
percent
satisfaction
rate.
The
other
two
percent
didn't
fall
out
of
the
sky,
lounge
I
can
I'm
told
Canada's
table
was
another
unforgettable
culinary
evening
a
thousand
person
dinner
served
up
by
20,
local
and
national
chefs
right
in
front
of
Parliament
Hill.
This
event
had
a
99
percent
satisfaction
rate
and
this
once-in-a-lifetime
event
sold
out
in
12
seconds.
A
Throughout
Juno
week,
Ottawa
threw
a
party
and
Canada
brought
the
music.
We
managed
to
put
a
spotlight
on
Ottawa
as
Music
City
as
a
Music
City
by
hosting
the
2017
Juno
Awards,
which
was
seen
by
more
than
6.5
million
viewers
nationwide
and
what
a
beautiful
sight
to
see.
Juno
Award
winner
Ruth
B
perform
beside
the
incredibly
talented
kids
from
Orchestra.
We
also
take.
We
also
took
this
opportunity
to
announce
that
the
city
would
fund
the
development
of
Ottawa's
first
music
strategy
aimed
at
supporting
our
local
artists
musicians
and
producers.
A
Councilor
leaper
and
the
Ottawa
music
industry
coalition
or
o'mike
have
been
hard
at
work,
consulting
with
stakeholders
and
developing
this
strategy
and
I
look
forward
to
the
recommendations
in
April.
Of
course,
our
sesquicentennial
festivities
included
a
celebration
of
everything
winter,
as
well
as
our
national
sport
hockey.
We
dedicated
an
entire
weekend
to
celebrating
the
one
hundred
and
twenty-fifth
anniversary
of
the
Stanley
Cup,
which
was
first
presented
by
Lord
Stanley
in
Ottawa,
roughly
at
the
corner
of
Sparks
and
Elgin,
where
the
beautiful
new
San
Lee
Cup
monument
in
councilor,
McKinney's
ward,
is
located.
A
For
the
occasion
we
were
joined
by
Gary
Bettman
Commissioner
of
the
NHL,
as
well
as
some
NHL
hockey
greats.
We
hosted
an
exciting
and
scenic
Red
Bull
Crashed
Ice
competition
over
the
Rideau
Canal
LOX
between
Parliament
and
the
Chateau
Laurier.
Approximately
two
hundred
thousand
people
braved
the
cold
to
join
the
crowd,
31
percent
of
whom
were
out-of-town
visitors
on
July
2nd.
We
held
the
historic
interprovincial
picnic
on
the
Alexander
bridge,
offering
the
best
views
of
the
National
Capital
Region.
A
This
sold-out
event
was
a
Canadian
first
and
34
percent
of
the
people
who
attended
were
from
out
of
town.
It
was
an
honor
to
welcome
the
premiers
of
Ontario
and
Quebec
in
the
middle
of
the
bridge,
with
my
colleague
and
friend,
male
paid,
no
joban
and
throughout
the
year
Ottawa
welcomes
the
world
partnered,
with
85
embassies
and
high
Commission's
to
host
an
impressive
43
multicultural
events
at
Landsdowne
Park.
A
These
events
surpassed
our
attendance
projections
and
welcomed
more
than
two
hundred
and
thirty-two
thousand
students
residents
and
visitors,
all
wanting
to
learn
more
about
other
cultures
and
ottawa's
rich
diversity.
This
summer
we
welcomed
more
than
three
hundred
and
twenty-five
thousand
visitors
to
continuum
an
underground,
sound
and
light
show
designed
in
the
Lyon
station
of
the
Confederation
Line
and
who
could
forget
last
weekend
in
July
when
we
hosted
Lema
shin
and
their
two
gigantic
street
performance
creatures,
long
law,
the
dragon
horse
and
kuhmo.
A
A
Last
fall
residents
and
visitors
were
able
to
take
in
me
Wat
a
at
cha
ji,
er
Falls
and
rediscover
the
stunning
sight
and
it's
spectacular,
illumination,
the
powerful
tribute
to
indigenous
peoples
and
the
Algonquin
heritage
of
our
region
was
produced
in
collaboration
with
the
Algonquin
epic
walk
Ngong
first
nation,
with
the
great
assistance
and
support
of
Christina
Reddy,
who
represented
this
community
on
the
2017
board
of
directors
and
was
an
important
voice
for
the
Algonquin
vision.
Approximately
45,000
people
experience
Benoit
today
over
four
weeks
with
a
98%
satisfaction
rate.
A
We
were
chosen
to
host
the
can-am
league's
all-star
game
at
our
CGT
park
for
the
first
time,
thanks
to
the
efforts
of
the
Ottawa
champions,
their
owner
miles,
Wolfe
and
their
president
David
Gourley,
and
we
had
the
honor
of
hosting
the
hundred
and
fift
Grey
Cup
and
the
Shaw
Grey
Cup
Festival,
which
were
tremendous
successes.
This
was
truly
an
incredible
event,
one
that
brought
together
CFL
fans
from
right
across
the
country
to
celebrate
Canadian
football
here
in
the
nation's
capital.
A
Td
Place,
which
was
completely
sold
out,
was
transformed
into
a
picture
as
snow
globe
during
the
game,
which
was
one
of
the
best
Grey
Cup
games
in
history
and
I,
don't
think
we
could
have
gotten
more
Canadian
moment
than
the
snowy
halftime
show,
which
saw
Shania
Twain
entering
the
stadium
on
a
dogsled
before
being
escorted
on
a
stage
by
a
Mountie.
All
that
we
need
it
was
a
moose
running
in
the
end
zone
and
that
would
have
given
us
the
Triple
Play.
A
It
was
a
big
boost
for
tourism,
as
well
with
the
event
generating
a
hundred
million
dollars
in
local
economic
activity.
My
thanks
to
former
Mayor
Jim
Durrell,
who,
together
with
Bernie
Ashe
and
the
team
at
oh
say,
did
a
terrific
job
not
only
with
the
game,
but
also
the
festival
itself
and
Ottawa
also
hosted
Canada's
top
at
the
2017
roar
of
the
Rings.
This
was
an
epic
battle
to
determine
who
would
represent
our
country
at
the
2018
Winter
Olympic
Games
in
South
Korea.
A
Finally,
we
capped
off
the
year
by
hosting
a
very
successful
NHL
100
classic
on
December
16th,
which
marked
the
hundredth
anniversary
of
the
very
first
NHL
game
and
it
recreated
the
historic
1917
match
between
the
senators
and
the
Canadians.
Despite
the
bitter
cold,
it
was
one
of
the
most
well
attended
sporting
events.
Our
city
has
ever
hosted
now,
I've
only
scratched
the
surface
of
all
the
wonderful
activities
that
took
place
throughout
the
city
to
mark
this
special
year
in
Canada's
history.
A
There
are
many
other
events
that
were
put
on
by
community
associations,
local
service
clubs
and
arts
organizations.
Events
that
brought
neighborhoods
together
and
I
want
to
thank
all
members
of
council
for
their
support
of
our
2017
initiatives
over
the
past
few
years.
These
celebrations
would
not
have
been
possible
without
your
support
and
early
commitment
to
the
process.
A
Ultimately,
we
leveraged
our
city's
5.8
million
dollar
investment
to
generate
significant
funding
from
other
levels
of
government
and
from
our
generous
private
sector
sponsors
like
CIBC
and
Bell,
and
in
the
end
we
delivered
a
40
million
dollar
program
of
major
events
and
festivities
for
our
residents
and
visitors
alike,
news
of
all
to
Kauai,
ensemble
up
or
leave.
We.
B
A
A
I'd
also
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
acknowledge
the
outstanding
work
of
our
board
of
directors,
some
of
whom
are
with
us
today,
and
the
team
at
Ottawa
2017
led
by
are
very
capable
executive
director
guy
Laflamme
I
know
that
every
member
of
the
team
put
in
countless
hours
to
make
this
a
tremendous
year
in
Ottawa,
and
you
have
succeeded.
Thank
we
have
succeeded
rather
thanks
to
your
efforts,
not
the
directors
in
R&D
Laflamme,
our.
B
Executive
director,
G
Laflamme
and
his
entire
team
that
amazing
work,
and
we
owe
them
all
our
warm
round
of
applause.
Don't
you
da
a
massive
flurry.
I
would
like
to
thank
a
counselor
Jean,
who
same
a
chief
referee
as
well
as
t-ball,
co-chair
of
the
board
of
directors
who
all
played
a
key
role
in
the
planning
and
the
exceptional
delivery
of
these
events
with.
A
The
help
of
members
of
council,
we
have
managed
to
preserve
a
bit
of
the
historic
record
of
2017.
All
of
your
communities
have
contributed
mementos
and
keepsakes
for
the
celebration
which
have
been
placed
in
the
2017
time,
capsule
On
February
20th
of
this
year.
We
will
be
placing
the
time
capsule
inside
the
walls
that
make
up
this
very
building
with
instructions
to
a
future
council
to
open
it
in
2067
during
our
Kent,
our
country's
bicentennial
year.
I
know
a
lot
of
you.
A
A
lot
of
you
will
have
changed
by
then
and
unless
I'm
I
think
106
I
won't
be
around,
but
I
hope
our
future
residents
will
get
as
much
enjoyment
from
their
discovery
as
we
did
this
year.
I
also
want
to
recognize
our
hospitality
sector,
our
hotels,
restaurants,
shops
and
attractions
who
work
particularly
hard
throughout
the
year.
A
You
have
been
exceptionally
busy
and
I
want
to
congratulate
you
on
the
professionalism
that
you
brought
to
the
job
each
and
every
day,
I'm
pleased
to
report
for
the
first
time
that
our
full-year
numbers
for
2017
now
show
an
increase.
Some
incredible
seven
percent,
in
average
hotel
occupancy
rates
a
Smith
travel
report
published
this
fall
confirmed
that
ottawa's
hotel
revenue
growth,
outperformed
every
single
city
in
all
of
Canada.
This
is
great
news.
A
This
is
great
news
for
the
hotels,
restaurants
and
shops
that
benefit
it,
and,
let's
remember
that
Ottawa's
hotels
employ
over
6,000
residents,
hotels
and
suburban
centers,
like
Orleans
Belle's,
corners,
Canada
and
bar
Haven,
as
well
as
Airport
Hotel
saw
their
occupancy
rates
increase
significantly
through
the
year,
while
those
in
the
downtown
were
at
full
capacity
on
a
number
of
occasions
and
saw
much
higher
revenues
than
usual.
2017
has
also
been
a
fantastic
year
for
the
Shaw
Center,
which
is
welcomed
almost
double
the
number
of
conventions
and
delegates
compared
to
last
year.
A
Congratulations
to
Nena
kressler
and
our
team
at
the
Shaw
Center
for
the
exceptional
efforts
to
solidify
Ottawa's
reputation
is
a
great
city
to
visit
and
to
host
outstanding
events.
And
now
after
2017
we
can
add
events
like
the
Grey
Cup,
Red,
Bull,
Crashed
Ice,
lavish
in
the
NHL
1-under
classic
and
many
other
national
and
international
sporting
events
to
the
list
of
successful
events
hosted
here
in
the
nation's
capital,
o

A
To
the
partnership
they
gilaflame
and
his
team
delivered
with
the
Ottawa
mission
at
Inspiration
village,
when
ghee
reached
out
to
Peter
Tilly
to
offer
the
mission
some
space
to
showcase
their
programs.
He
quickly
saw
an
opportunity
to
do
much
more
to
give
some
of
their
former
mission
clients
a
chance
to
earn
money,
build
their
confidence
and
slowly
re-enter
the
workforce.
The
mission
hand
patent
picked
five
individuals
who
recently
graduated
from
their
custodial
program
and
who
were
looking
for
an
opportunity
to
gain
some
work
experience.
A
What
started
as
a
simple
work
opportunity
turned
into
a
story
of
inclusion,
personal
growth
and
self-worth,
one
that
George
Wayne,
Ian,
Pierre,
Noah
and
Carrie
will
soon
not
forget
and
one
that
could
change
the
course
of
their
lives.
Now
we
must
work
to
sustain
the
momentum.
We
have
worked
so
hard
to
build
in
2017
and
with
that
goal
in
mind,
we've
already
received
some
encouraging
news
leading
into
2018.
A
few
ago,
Taiwan
Taekwondo
Canada
announced
that
Ottawa
will
host
the
2018
national
Taekwondo
championships
at
the
ey
Center
in
February.
A
This
national
event
is
expected
to
attract
a
thousand
athletes,
coaches
and
family
members
to
the
city,
as
well
as
hundreds
of
visitors
generating
approximately
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
economic
activity
will
also
be
hosting
the
Canadian
track
and
field
championships.
Again
this
year
at
Muniz
Bay,
a
new
silo
concentrate
the
music,
so
the
grounds
oven
mark.
He.
A
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
all
our
tourism
partners,
many
of
whom
are
with
us
here
today,
have
joined
us
this
morning
and
I
thank
them
for
the
great
work
in
2017
and
for
their
continued
effort
to
grow
tourism
in
Ottawa.
For
the
last
number
of
months,
the
team
from
Ottawa
tourism,
Ottawa
2017
in
my
office
have
been
evaluating
the
success
and
sustainability
of
2017
events
to
see
which
ones
can
we
can
build
upon
and
which
ones
could
potentially
be
brought
back
in
future
years.
A
A
number
of
announcements
will
follow
in
the
coming
weeks
and
months
as
their
efforts
come
to
fruition,
but
in
the
meantime,
I'm
pleased
to
announce
that
Ottawa
tourism
has
already
agreed
to
set
aside
funding
to
repeat
Agri
150
in
the
summer
of
2018
offered
in
all
for
rural
Ward's
of
the
city.
Agra
150
was
a
successful
series
of
culinary
events
that
brought
residents
and
visitors
out
to
farms
in
rural
Ottawa,
their
participants
rediscovered
how
local
food
is
produced
in
addition
to
enjoying
farm-to-table,
gourmet
meals.
A
On-Site
I'm
very
pleased
to
announce
after
holding
43,
very
successful
events
under
the
banner
of
Ottawa
welcomes
the
world
at
Landsdowne
Park.
We
will
be
repeating
this
rich
cultural
experience
over
the
course
of
a
week
in
July.
Stay
tuned
for
an
upcoming
announcement
on
the
official
programme
for
2018
I've
also
encouraged
our
tourism
partners
to
sustain
the
momentum
by
continuing
to
bid
on
large-scale
events
like
the
IIHF
World,
Junior,
Hockey
Championships
in
2021
and
beyond.
This
type
of
event,
as
we
all
know,
attracts
great
crowds
and
provides
valuable
international
visibility
to
our
city.
A
The
Ottawa,
Senators
and
Ottawa
tourism
continue
to
push
on
this
front
and
I
wish
them
the
best
of
luck
in
their
efforts.
Another
opportunity
I'm
excited
to
announce
today
is
that
Ottawa
was
recently
selected
as
Ontario's
host
candidate
for
the
2020
North
American
indigenous
games.
These
successful
multi-sport
games
with
the
unique
emphasis
on
indigenous
culture
were
held
in
Toronto
and
2017,
and
the
aboriginal
sport
and
wellness
Council
of
Ontario
is
excited
at
the
thought
of
repeating
the
experience
in
the
nation's
capital.
A
This
event
would
attract
5000
athletes,
coaches
and
officials
from
across
Turtle
Island
to
Ottawa
in
the
summer
of
2020,
as
well
as
more
than
40
million
dollars
in
economic
activity.
But
beyond
this
significant
boost
to
our
tourism
sector,
it
also
will
be
a
meaningful
way
to
engage
in
our
country's
reconciliation
efforts
and
recognize
the
achievements
of
indigenous
youth.
The
North
American
indigenous
games
are
specifically
referenced
in
the
Truth
and
Reconciliation
commissions
report.
A
I
look
forward
to
working
with
our
indigenous
indigenous
community
partners,
the
Algonquin,
as
well
as
other
ottawa's,
other
First,
Nations,
Inuit
and
maytee
communities,
along
with
Ottawa
tourism
in
the
Aboriginal
sport
and
wellness
council
Ontario,
to
highlight
what
a
great
city
Ottawa
would
be
to
host
the
10th
edition
of
the
indigenous
games.
The
city
is
also
engaged
in
growing
other
industries
that
make
our
city
vibrant
and
economically
diverse.
For
example,
just
this
fall.
We
created
the
new
independent
Ottawa
film
office,
led
by
Bruce
Harvey,
who
was
with
us
in
the
audience
today.
A
A
former
film
producer,
the
film
office
will
ignite
the
development
and
growth
of
our
local
film
tell
and
digital
production
industry
over
the
coming
years.
This
is
now
a
hundred
million
dollar
a
year
industry
for
Ottawa,
creating
hundreds
of
cultural
employment
opportunities
for
local
students,
film
crews
actors
and
set
managers.
A
The
new
film
office
board
of
directors,
composed
of
industry,
stakeholders
and
tourism
representatives
is
actively
working
on
a
plan
to
take
this
sector
of
our
economy
to
the
next
level
and
given
his
leadership
and
dedication
to
Ottawa
2017
board
of
directors
last
year
and
his
experience
in
the
movie
business
I've
asked
councilor
Lucia
to
serve
as
the
city's
representative
on
this
board.
This
unparalleled
enthusiasm
and
confidence.
Our
local
economy
is
spurring
the
development
of
new
hotels
in
all
parts
of
our
city.
A
Construction
will
start
this
year
and
one
of
those
hotels
and
bells
coroners
a
20
million
dollar
project
that
will
play
a
key
role
in
revitalizing
that
neighborhood.
This
project
was
part
made
possible
by
the
bells
coroner's
committee,
Improvement
Plan,
which
I
committed
to
in
the
last
election
this
year.
Thanks
to
the
advocacy
of
coal,
see
a
flurry
and
to
$100,000
secured
in
budget
2018
Montreal
Road
businesses
will
provide
input
in
developing
their
own
community
improvement
plan.
The
CIP
will
help
revitalize
the
streetscape
and
will
generate
much-needed
investments
and
jobs
in
his
ward
with
2017.
A
Behind
us,
Ottawa
will
also
benefit
from
a
series
of
legacy
projects,
investments
that
have
helped
to
strengthen
our
economy
and
revitalize
our
city
for
generations
to
come
through
a
partnership
with
just
foods.
We
surpassed
our
goal
and
delivered
30
new
community
gardens
across
the
city,
as
well
as
our
Canada
150
maple
groves
where
a
hundred
and
fifty
Canadian
maples
were
planted
in
each
of
the
city's
23
wards
for
generations
to
enjoy
the
giver.
A
150
playground
at
Moody's
Bay
is
a
great
legacy
project
that
will
was
built
with
the
help
of
kids
from
our
community
and,
in
fact,
from
across
the
country.
This
unique
Park
is
a
wonderful
tribute
to
our
landscape
into
the
regions
of
Canada,
with
stables,
loose
fish
and
snowshoes
integrated
into
the
playground.
Since
its
opening
the
giver,
150
playground
has
been
extremely
well
received
by
the
community
in
councilor
brockington
sward,
with
dozens
of
families
enjoying
the
unique
play
structures
every
day.
A
Another
facility
that
opened
last
year
was
the
Innovation
Center
at
Bayview
Yards
after
a
full
year
of
operations.
In
2017,
the
new
incubation
hub
for
Ottawa's
entrepreneurs
is
doing
phenomenally
well
and
already
bursting
at
the
seams.
It
is
the
new
home
of
invest
Ottawa
on
a
place
where
innovative
ideas
take
shape
and
quickly
become
promising
startups
and
I'd
like
to
share
with
you.
One
of
these
success
stories
joining
us
in
the
audience
this
morning
is
Corey
Ellis.
If
Corey
could
just
stand
for
a
moment.
A
There
is
this
young
gentleman
here
he
is
a
Telfer
School
of
Management
graduate
who
was
now
co,
founder
and
CEO
of
a
company
called
The
Grocer
G
ro
wcer
Corey
and
his
team
of
The
Grocer
have
designed
a
state-of-the-art
food-growing
system
inside
a
sea
container,
while
growing
conditions
are
monitored
every
few
seconds
to
ensure
the
greatest
yield
of
their
crops.
This
innovative
agricultural
solution
reduces
the
cost
of
fresh
produce
and
ensures
greater
food
security
for
residents
in
these
communities.
The
turnkey
system
can
be
deployed
in
any
northern
community
where
sustainable
agriculture
will
otherwise
be
impossible.
A
A
system
is
now
in
place
in
seven
North
in
seven
northern
locations,
with
the
latest
being
recently
installed
in
Churchill
Manitoba,
where
it's
delivering
fresh
pod
produce
beyond
the
community's
expectations.
This
innovative
idea
has
become
a
reality
because
of
a
local
entrepreneur
and
thanks
in
part
to
the
business
coaching
of
the
team
at
invest,
Ottawa,
congratulations,
Corey,
great
idea
and
good
success.
A
Of
more
than
5,500
jobs
locally,
they
have
also
led
more
than
100
missions
abroad,
which
is
helped
which
has
helped
600.
Local
companies
grow
their
businesses
in
the
global
marketplace.
The
team
at
invest
Ottawa's
also
helped
25
international
companies
to
set
up
shop
or
grow
their
footprint
right
here
in
Ottawa
in
their
quest
to
help
local
entrepreneurs
and
start
and
grow
a
business.
A
A
successful
sports
industry
strengthens
our
local
economy
by
hosting
major
events,
stimulating
tourism
and
attracting
talent
to
Ottawa
I'm,
proud
that
the
City
of
Ottawa
supported
this
project
with
funding
which
made
this
project
possible
for
Ottawa
tourism
and
the
are
a
center
to
deliver.
The
House
of
sport
will
help
Ottawa
maintain
a
competitive
edge
over
other
cities
and
it
will
assist
Ottawa
tourism
and
its
future
bids
to
attract
major
sporting
events.
I
want
to
thank
councillor
midok
our
Sports
Commissioner,
who
was
an
early
supporter
of
this
initiative.
A
The
new
Auto
Art
Gallery,
which
is
three
times
large
in
the
existing
space,
welcomed
its
first
tenants
in
early
January
I'm
pleased
to
announce
that
the
Ottawa
Kara
will
have
its
official
opening
on
April
28,
and
this
year
many
local
arts
organizations
will
be
able
to
take
over
their
facilities
and
the
redeveloped
arts
court.
This
includes
a
new
black
box,
theater
developed
in
partnership
with
the
University
of
Ottawa.
A
This
100
plus
million
dollar
redevelopment
is
a
lasting
investment
in
arts
and
culture,
one
that
will

I,
look
forward
to
working
with
all
our
partners
in
the
coming
years
to
ensure
that
this
prime
undeveloped

becomes
a
major
city

for
all
to
enjoy
I'm
pleased
that
just
last
Thursday,
this

passed
a
significant
milestone
when
rendezvous

the
NCC
reached
an
agreement
in
principle
to
move
forward
with
the
development
of

Very
pleased
to
welcome

Members
of
council
remain
busy
making
important
decisions
and
delivering
progress
for
our
residents
here
at
City
Hall.
Our
planning
committee,
under
the
able
leadership
of
chair
hardier,
has
a
number
of
accomplishments
to
be
proud
of.
Last
year,
the
committee
dealt
with
a
hundred
and
seven
development
applications
involving
either
zoning
bylaw
or
Official
Plan
amendments.
These
applications
often
involve
large-scale
projects
that
give
residents
efficient
housing
options
and
keeps
the
cost
of
living.
A
Affordable
and
2017
council
approved
a
strong
mix
of
new
residential
developments
from
infill
to
subdivisions
and
everything
in
between
we
approved
several
high-rise
condo
towers
in
areas
near
Oh,
train
stations
delivering
on
objectives
to
promote
transit,
oriented
development,
for
example.
The
22
story
tower
at
1960
Scott
will
offer
149
residential
units
near
West,
burrow
transit
station
on
Preston
Street
in
Council
McKinney's
Ward.
We
approved
a
25-story
175
unit
residential
tower
close
to
Carling
Avenue
Station
and
the
planned
Gladstone
Avenue
station.
A
This
is
in
the
same
vicinity
as
the
new
site
of
the
Civic
Hospital,
one
of
the
largest
projects
in
our
city's
history
and
one
that
will
transform
health
care
delivery
in
Ottawa
to
be
located
now
in
councilor.
Brockington

We
also
approve
the
redevelopment
of
to
urban
mixed
use,
areas
to
revitalize
the
aging
Westgate
and
elm
ville
malls.
These
shopping
centers
have
reached
the
end
of
their
lifecycle,
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
redevelop
the
sites
with
transit,
oriented
residential
projects
and
better
planned
public
spaces.
A
The
planning
committee
also
paved
the
way
for
a
number
of
new
residential
subdivisions
in
all
corners
of
the
city,
to
inst
its
ville
in
the
West
End
to
and
bar
Haven
and
Finley
Creek
in
the
south
and
Avalon
West
in
the
east
end
of
the
city.
The
committee
also
invested
many
hours
in
developing
revitalization
strategies
for
existing
neighborhoods
in
need,
such
as
Hetherington
and
councillor
Dean's,
Ward
and
Vanier
South
Overbrook
bordering
councillor,
Nussbaum
and
flurries
wards.
A
This
was
part
of
the
building
better,
revitalize
neighborhoods
initiative
and
detailed
plans
have
been
adopted
to
helped
invent
invigorate
the
neighborhoods.
Despite
the
the
this
busy
planning
this
busy
year
at
planning,
I'm
proud
to
report
that
in
2017
there
were
only
six
contested
hearings
at
the
OMB
involving
the
City
of
Ottawa
down
from
19
in
2015.
That's
a
decrease
of
roughly
68
percent
over
two
years.
This
speaks
to
the
city's
successful
collaboration
with
residents,
applications
and
community
groups
on
development
projects.
A
I
want
to
congratulate
and
thank
chair
harder
for
leadership
on
this
front
and
vice-chair
Tim
tyranny.
They
should
be
very
proud
of
these
accomplishments.
I
would
point
out
that
these
projects
that
go
before
planning
committee
also
play
an
important
role
in
stimulating
our
economy,
since
they
represent
thousands
of
well-paying
construction.

across

A
A
With
residential
building
starts
up
35
percent
in
2017
compared
to
the
year
before,
and
the
city
is
also
investing
record
amounts
in
public
infrastructure
projects
playing
in
a
critical
role,
rather
in
creating
jobs
in
our
city
later
this
year,
we'll
take
major
steps
on
building
the
exciting
Central
Library
project
at
booth
and
Albert,
thanks
to
the
leadership
of
councilor
Tim
Tierney
and
has
worked
with
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
Board.
His
team
is
currently
evaluating
outstanding
proposals
from
some
of
the
most
respected
architecture.
Firms
in
the
world.
A
Five
shortlisted
designs
will
move
on
to
the
final
round
of
procurement
process.
Once
partnership
funding
has
been
secured
in
the
coming
months,
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
team
will
be
bringing
forward
a
report
to
its
board
and
City
Council
for
approval
on
the
project
funding.
But
in
order
for
us
to
finalize
the
budget
for
the
new
Central
Library,
we'll
need
to
know
our
partnership,
the
Library
and
Archives
Canada
has
been
both
approved
and
funded
accordingly
by
the
federal
government.
A
A
Station
making
access
easier
for
all
its
users
and
will
work
with
councilor
McKenney
to
ensure
the
facility
has
state-of-the-art
connectivity
to
our
pedestrian
and
cycling
networks
to
better
serve
residents
towards
that
end.
2018
we'll
see
15
kilometers
of
new
cycling
infrastructure
added
to
our
cycling,
Network,
helping
us
to
reach
our
goal
of
adding
72
kilometres
of
cycling
facilities
in
the
city's
growing
network.
By
the
end
of
this
year,
over
this
term
of
council,
we
have
invested
eighty
million
dollars,
8-0
million
dollars
to
expand
our
cycling
and
pedestrian
infrastructure
in
all
parts
of
the
city.
A
These
are
historic
investments
in
cycling
and
active
transportation
and
I'd
like
to
thank
councillor.
Keith
egg
live
for
his
leadership
and
commitment
to
improving
active
mobility
in
our
city.
We
know
that
cycling
can
become
an
important
link
for
commuter
commuters,
wanting
to
use
our
new
LRT
system
when
it
opens
later
this
year.
These
investments
can
also
help
us
increase
safety
for
both
cyclists
and
drivers
who
share
our
roads.
A
For
example,
a
recent
safety
audit
of
the
Laurier
Avenue
bike
lanes
revealed
that
overall,
segregated
bike
lanes
in
our
city
have
reduced
collisions
involving
pedestrians
by
50%
collision.
Collisions
with
other
cyclists
by
30%
and
motor
vehicle
incidents
have
decreased
by
10%
I'm
pleased.
The
construction
is
started
on
the
Rideau,
Canal
cycling
and
pedestrian
bridge
that
will
link
Fifth
Avenue
to
plague
Street.
This
facility
will
be
a
great
asset
to
improve
connectivity
for
old,
Ottawa
East
and
Main
Street
residents
wanting
to
get
to
and
from
Lansdowne
park
and
the
Glee.
A
This
21
million
dollar
project
is
a
great
example
of
what
we
can
accomplish
with
all
three
levels
of
government
work
together
to
fund
important
infrastructure
projects,
I'd
like
to
thank
ministers,
Catherine
McKenna
and
Yasser
Naqvi
for
delivering
on
this
exciting
project
that
will
benefit
their
Ottawa
Centre
residents
and
residents
from
across
the
city.
Another
great
example
of
what
can
be
achieved
by
working
together
with
our
fed
and
provincial
counterparts
is
our
light
rail
transit
project.
Thanks
to
the
collaboration
of
all
three
levels
of
government.
A
Not
only
will
Stage
one
of
LRT
come
into
service
later
this
year,
but
we
have
already
secured
funding
for
Stage
two
for
this
city
building
project
because
of
council's
commitment
to
the
Confederation
Line
in
stage
two
of
LRT.
The
provincial
and
federal
governments
are
both
investing
with
confidence
in
the
future
of
transit
in
Ottawa,
and
we
had
the
pleasure
of
welcoming
Prime
Minister
Trudeau
at
our
train
assembly
plant
at
Belfast
in
June
for
his
announcement
of
the
1.16
billion
dollar
federal
share
of
funding
for
stage
2
LRT.

is
underway
this
year.
Thanks

A
This
will
be
a
big
year
for
transit
transformation
in
Ottawa.
We
maintain
our
efforts
to
plan
for
the
future
in
just
over
a
week.
Male
Maxine,
Padnos,
Robin
and
I
will
hold
our
first
meeting
of
the
Joint
Working
Group
on
transportation
right
here
at
City,
Hall
I
look
forward
to
working
with
Mayor
Padnos
robe,
as
well
as
my
colleagues

bleh
and
egg
ly,
to
see
how
our
two
cities
can
better
integrate
our
transit
services
and
large
transportation
projects.
A
But
building
our
city
is
not
just
about
construction,
it's
also
about
preserving
and
protecting
our
heritage
and
what
makes
Ottawa
a
great
place
to
live
on
this
front.
I'm
proud
of
the
work
that
councillor
Nussbaum,
chair,
harder
and
I
have
accomplished
in
the
last
year,
working
with
the
Heritage
Matters
task
force
on
behalf
of
the
Heritage
community.
The
task
force
has
been
meeting
to
review
the
progress,
important
heritage
issues
and
help
set
priorities
and
establish
next
steps
later
this
year.
A
With
the
guidance
at
the
task
force,
staff
will
be
bringing
forward
a
recommendation
to
Council
regarding
possible
heritage
incentives
that
would
help
prevent
demolition
by
neglect,
as
well
as
enhance
and
modernized
the
current
heritage
grant
program
to
streamline
and
process
the
process,
rather
in
cut
red
tape
and
the
city's
conservation
efforts
are
not
limited
to
buildings
they're,
also
about
preserving
our
city's
natural
heritage
and
its
environment.
Thanks
to
councillor

used
1.5
million
dollars
from
the
environmentally
sensitive

fund
to
protect
roughly
5
hectares
of
Shea
woods.
A
A
recreational
green
space
that
is
very
popular
with
the
residents
of
Statesville,
our
environment
and
climate
protection
committee.
Under
the
leadership
of
councillor,
mishchenko
has
been
hard
at
work,
focusing
on
efforts
to
reduce
the
Senate
city's
energy
consumption
and
carbon
footprint
in
the
fight
against
climate
change,
along
with
our
investment
in
stage
1
and
stage
2
of
LRT
new
buses
for
our
transit
system
and
our
cycling
network,
we
will
be
investing
more
than
ever
to
become
more
sustainable
and
protect
our
environment.
A
The
city
has
worked
with
more
than
80

and
I
want
to
reiterate
that
these
energy
conscious
decisions
are
not
only
good
for
the
environment.
A
They
make
great
financial
sense,
with
long-term
cost
savings
being
generated
for
taxpayers
as
an
example,
our
recent
conversion,
working
with
hydro
Ottawa
of
58,000
street
lights
to
LED
technology,
will
generate
savings
of
6
million
dollars
annually,
Sabo
Paula,
Phelan
ma
a
say,
Bhopal
a
for
people.
It's.
A
A
In
addition
to
this,
we've
adopted
new
procedures
that
have
led
to
a
reduction
of
the
number
of
times
residents
are
without
water
during
water
main
breaks.
We
also
want
to
enhance
the
quality
of
the
water
in
the
Ottawa
River.
To
this
effect,
I'm
pleased
to
see
the
construction
of
the
combined
sewage
storage
tunnel
is
well
underway.
This
project
will
help
us
protect
the
environment
while
improving
the
accessibility
enjoyment
of
residents
at
our
beaches
and
allowing
them
to
safely
practice
activities
like
canoeing
and
fishing
downstream.
A
Thanks
to
his
work,
hundreds
of
kids
and
families
will
be
able
to
enjoy
the
beauty
of
the
Ottawa
River
and
discover
the
magnificent
wetlands
that
make
up
Petri
island
and
the
river
I
also
want
to
recognize
the
Ottawa
River
keeper
Meredith
brown
for
her
ongoing
work
and
dedication
to
keeping
our
River
clean.
Many
of
the
systems
that
increasingly
help
us
achieve
these
energy
savings
are
powered
by
smart
city
solutions.
A
This
is
why
we
adopted
our
smart
city
strategy-
smart
city
2.0
this
past
November,
to
give
us
an
overall
view
of
how
we
can
improve
our
systems
to
better
serve
residents
and
leverage
cost
savings.
I
want
to
thank
our
three
sponsors
councillors,
hubely
Tierney
and
harder
for
the
commitment
to
realizing
this
initiative.
Smart
city
2.0
is
centered
on
three
goals:
a
connected
city,
a
smart
economy
and
an
innovative
government
in
2017.
A
A
The
first
release
of
this
mobile
application,
which
will
be
available
for
both
Android
and
Apple
devices,
will
allow
residents
to
report
any
service
request
like
a
damaged
street
light
or
a
pothole
from
their
phones,
while
including
photos
and
in
late,
enabling
tracking
of
those
specific
requests
from
a
client
perspective.
This
means
being
able
to
access
city
services
through
their
mobile
device
anytime
anywhere
no
services,
mall
and
innovation.
Is
it
our.
A
We
have
here
in
Ottawa's
technology
hub
last,
March
I
led
a
mission
with
a
number
of
members
of
council
to
Queen's
Park
and,
along
with
our
partners
in
the
high-tech
sector
and
Michael,
was
there
from
invest,
Ottawa
and
and
others
our
colleagues
from
colleges,
universities
join
us.
We
highlighted
ottawa's
potential
in
the
development
of
next-generation
networks
and
autonomous
vehicles,
and
we've
had
impressive
results.
So
far
in
October,
Ottawa
became
the
very
first
Canadian
city
to
launch
testing
of
an
on
street
autonomous
vehicle
commuting
with
live
city,
infrastructure
and
I
want
to
thank
councillor.
A
Wilkinson
I,
don't
think
you
can
see
her
but
she's
in
the
back
seat,
not
driving,
but
because
it
was
autonomous,
but
that
day
I
think
Maryann.
There
were
probably
three
or
four
thousand
people
lining
the
street
to
see
it.
I
know
Eli
and
Chad
and
others
were
there
in
Allen.
It
was
a
great
great
event
and
if
we
can
count
on
a
recent
statement
by
tells
us
the
Tesla,
rather
CEO
Elon
Musk
humans
will
eventually
be
banned
from
driving
because
we're
apparently
too
much
of
a
danger
to
ourselves.
A
Another
example
of
our
potential
and
is
the
project
the
councillor
harder
has
been
working
and
leading
over
the
past
year,
a
precision,
agriculture,
ottawa's
involvement
in
the
smart
agri-food
supercluster
councillor
heart,
our
small,
but
mighty
team
made
up
of
staff
from
the
city
invest
Ottawa
and
the
federal
government
has
learnt,
has
learned
that
Ottawa
is
capable
of
supporting
the
tech
driven
Agra
food
revolution
that
is
currently
underway.
As
you
may
have
heard,
global
food
demand
will
increase
by
70%
between
now
and
2050.
A
Our
region,
because
of
its
talent
base,
are
roughly
2,000
farms
and
our
proximity
of
the
federal
government
can
support
the
cross
sector
innovation.
The
industry
needs.
The
key
challenges
to
this
include
need
the
need
for
rural
connectivity,
big
data
and
analytics
open
platforms,
autonomous
solutions
and
innovation
to
reduce
the
environmental
impact
of
farming.
Councillor
Harder's
group
has
come
across
the
perfect
site
for
an
innovative
test
site.
The
NCC's
1800
acre
Greenbelt
research
farm
located
the
corner
of
Woodruff
and
Hunt
Club.
A
This
is
a
tremendous
interest
in
this
site
from
a
growing
number
of
partners
from
across
Canada
and
in
fact
around
the
world
and
the
NCC.
We
thank
them
for
this
recently
signed
a
letter
to
permit
the
city's
first
private
autonomous
vehicle
test
track
on
the
site,
and
this
initial
step
will
bring
us
to
the
site
of
a
number
of
key
investors
needed
to
address
issues
of
rural
connectivity
and
5g
technology.
A
I'm
very
pleased
about
this
opportunity
and
about
its
potential
for
our
local
economy
and
I
want
to
thank
councilor
harder
for
her
passion
and
dedication
to
advancing
this
project.
You
know,
sometimes
it's
the
small
things
that
have
a
lasting
impact
on
our
communities.
For
example,
I
want
to
recognize
the
good
work
of
councillor
de
Roos
in
improving
the
safety
of
his
residence
through
the
replacement
of
the
old,
often
rust
at
nine
one.
One
blade
signs
in
his
ward,
nine
eleven
blade
signs
are
more
than
a
way
to
identify
addresses
in
our
rural
communities.
A
They're
a
tool
by
our
front
lawn
frontline
emergency
response
workers
to
quickly
identify
a
location
in
need
of
assistance.
After
hearing
concerns
from
his
residence
councillor,
Drew's
acted
quickly
and
secured
the
funding
required
to
have
the
rusted
signs
replaced.
This
initiative
is
an
important
public
safety
priority
with
a
big
impact
and
I
want
to
thank
him
for
his
efforts
and
his
service
to
those
residents
in
2018.
I,
look
forward
to
celebrating
the
milestone
anniversary
with
councillor
Moffat
and
his
community
as
we
what
we
mark
the
200th
anniversary
of
the
village
of
Richmond.
A
There
are
festivities
taking
place
throughout
the
year
for
the
occasion
with
the
big
celebration
weekend
taking
place,
June
15th
to
18th
and
I
hope.
Many
of
you
will
join
councillor
Moffitt
and
I
and
marking
this
historic
moment
in
our
city's
history.
Last
spring,
some
of
our
rural
residents
and
their
homes
were
badly
affected,
as
the
waters
of
the
Ottawa
River
rose
to
levels
that
we
only
see
once
every
100
years.
A
These
floods
lasted
for
weeks
and
demanded
a
sustained
response
from
emergency
workers,
as
well
as
thousands
of
volunteers
who
came
out
to
lend
a
hand
thanks
to
the
leadership
of
councillors,
Elson
teary,
bleh
and
Taylor.
Our
community
came
together
like
never
before,
to
help
families
in
their
time
of
need,
whether
it
was
filling
sandbags
or
bringing
in
supplies
residents
rolled
up
their
sleeves
and
help,
neighbors,
whose
homes
were
in
the
path
of
massive
flooding.
A
A
This
type
of
committee
effort
requires
the
support
of
many
city
services,
and
we
need
to
make
the
right
investments
to
ensure
that
we
can
respond
to
help
our
residents
when
they
face
this
level
of
hardship
and
I'm,
proud
that
we
have
continued
to
increase
our
investments
in
our
core
services.
Although
Ottawa
remains
one
of
the
safest
cities
in
Canada,
we
have
witnessed
a
recent
increase
in
gun
violence,
and
we
need
to
do
more
to
keep
our
streets
and
residents
safe.
A
In
light
of
this
I'm
pleased
that
we
are
strengthening
our
commitment
to
public
safety
by
hiring
25
additional
police
officers
this
year
for
a
total
of
75
new
officers.
This
term
of
council,
our
man
and
women
in
uniform,
play
a
critical
role
in
the
lives
of
our
residents
and
keeping
our
children
and
families
safe.
In
light
of
the
recent
shootings,
I
called
a
meeting
last
Friday,
along
with
councillors
else
and
Terry
Dean's
harder
and
Condry
along
with
Chief
board
law.
So
he
could
outline
our
city's
ongoing
efforts
to
tackle
these
issues.
A
Chief
Barlow
is
with
us
here
today
took
the
opportunity
to
assure
us
that
his
members
from
across
the
force
are
actively
engaged
in
this
issue
of
guns
and
gangs,
and
we
know-
and
we
know
they
are
sparing
no
effort.
We
will
keep
a
close
eye
on
their
heart
work
over
the
coming
months
and
by
working
together
with
the
community
I'm,
confident
we
can
fight
the
violence
that
is
affecting
our
community.
A
Over
the
last
number
of
years,
they've
been
an
important
dialogue
between
municipalities
and
upper
levels
of
government,
how
best
to
coordinate
the
efforts
that
will
lead
to
reduction
of
overdose
overdose
deaths
across
Canada,
including
those
we've
seen
in
Ottawa.
What
is
clear
is
that
we
need
to
see
real
change
by
working
with
our
community
partners
on
a
nimble
and
responsive
strategy
that
includes
mental
health
promotion,
prevention
of
drug
use,
as
well
as
committee
withdrawal
and
treatment
services
for
those
who
want
and
can
benefit
from
them.
A
I
firmly
believe
we
need
a
holistic
approach
to
tackle
this
crisis
from
a
variety
of
angles
and
with
many
partners
in
order
to
reach
all
of
our
vulnerable
population
and
to
meet
people
where
they
are
in
their
specific
journey.
This
includes
early
supports
for
parents,
raising
young
children,
mental
health
and
resources
to
promote
resiliency
equipment
and
training
for
first
responders
and
frontline
service
providers,
community
withdrawal
and
treatment
options
for
those
who
seek
them
harm
reduction
services
for
those
who
need
them
and
safe
and
adequate
housing
for
those
who
are
struggling,
see.
A
Cadre
and
the
Board
of
Health
for
their
leadership
and
capable
handling
of
this
complex
file.
Although
our
efforts
to
date
have
played
an
important
role
in
reducing
overdoses
in
our
community,
I
believe
that
there
is
much
more
that
can
and
must
be
done
to
get
our
most
vulnerable
residents
back
on
their
feet.
I've
always
believed
that
we
need
to
do
more
to
offer
addiction
treatment
options
to
residents
that
need
them
as
well.
A
With
this
in
mind,
I've
recently
written
to
premier
Wynne
and
Finance
Minister
Charles
Sousa,
to
highlight
these
budget
pressures
and
to
ask
them
for
their
support
and
tackling
this
challenge.
Following
a
recent
federal
provincial
ministers
meeting,
it
was
determined
the
provinces
would
keep
70%
of
all
taxes
collected
30%
with
the
federal
government,
and
we
believe
a
portion
of
these
revenue
should
go
to
helping
municipalities
fulfill
their
new
responsibilities.
A
My
hope
is,
the
Ontario
government
will
acknowledge
that
this
new
mandate
has
indeed
been
downloaded
onto
municipalities
and
that
adequate
funding
should
follow
to
help
cities
meet
the
challenges
at
hand
on
another
matter.
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
recognize
the
work
of
the
Ontario
government
and
attorney
general
Astra
Naqvi,
who
intervenes
swiftly
last
year
to
protect
the
safety
of
women
accessing
important
abortion
services
in
our
city.
After
councillor,
McKenney
and
I
wrote
to
him
to
raise
concerns
with
the
intimidation
perpetrated
by
protesters
and
the
absence
of
a
safety
bubble
around
abortion
clinics.
A
Minister
Naqvi
acted
quickly
to
table
legislation
that
has
created
new,
safe
access
zones
around
these
facilities.
This
new
law
will
be
effective
starting
tomorrow
and
will
prevent
protesters
from
coming
from
within
50
to
150
metres
from
a
facility
that
offers
abortion
services.
Women
seeking
medical
help
and
counseling
should
not
be
spat
upon
or
heckled
on
their
way
into
an
appointment
and
I've
confirmed
with
the
police
service
and
the
chief
that
they
are
ready
with
an
implementation
plan
to
support
the
legislative
changes
and
keep
women
safe
in
these
areas.
Beyond
our.
A
Beyond
our
women
and
men
in
uniform
technology
can
also
play
a
crucial
role
in
making
our
community
safer
and
the
last
election
I
committed
to
installing
20
new
red-light
cameras.
I'm
pleased
that
we
have
successfully
installed
14
of
these
and
the
remaining
six
are
currently
being
implemented
and
will
be
installed
by
the
fall
red
light.
Cameras
installed
at
key
intersections
have
led
to
a
reduction
of
more
than
50%
in
dangerous
right-angle
collisions
as
well
as
overall
decrease
of
43%
in
injuries,
and
there
are
more
than
a
simple
deterrent
to
running
red
lights.
A
They
provide
roughly
5.1
million
dollars
that
was
reinvested
in
the
city
in
2017.
I'll
propose
that
the
next
council
allocate
100%
of
this
revenue
to
the
police
services
and
safer
roads
ottawa
for
further
enforcement
and
to
strengthen
road
safety
initiatives.
This
will
free
up
revenue
for
more
pressing
issues
like
the
work
underway
to
reduce
gun
violence
across
our
city.
The
pre-lit
abuse
among
dots
can
say
in
this
level
since.
A
Our
resident
progress
on
affordable
transit
services,
progress
on
active
transportation,
all
of
which
make
our
city
more
affordable
and
more
livable.
Last
year,
the
city
welcomed
three
new,
affordable
and
supportive
housing
facilities
with
approximately
200
beds.
Thanks
to
funding
from
all
three
orders
of
government,
we
also
received
thirty
million
dollars
to
the
provincial
homes
for
good
program
funding,
which
will
expand
our
housing
first
program
and
support
residents
living
in
transitional
or
supportive
housing.
A
This
operational
funding
will
support
approximately
three
hundred
and
ten
families
to
find
and
keep
affordable
and
suitable
housing
in
Ottawa,
and
the
capital
portion
will
support
the
construction
and
renovation
or
purchase
of
approximately
a
hundred
and
fifty
new
supportive
housing
units
in
Ottawa,
which
is
much-needed
progress
on
this
front
and
with
the
announcement
in
November
of
the
federal
government's
national
housing
strategy,
which
will
help
us
leverage
funds
from
both
the
federal
provincial
governments.
We
expect
to
make
even
greater
strides
in
the
years
to
come.
A
Look
forward
to
this
important
discussion
with
the
community.
Housing
is
a
necessity
of
life
and
everyone
should
have
the
right
to
have
a
roof
over
their
head.
This
is
on
everyone's
mind
and
to
students
from
Sir
Wilfrid
Laurier,
Secondary
School
and
councillor
Manette's,
Ward
Hamad
and
zum
Eric
recently
wrote
in
to
bring
this
to
our
forefront,
I
think
I'm,
Adan's
America
are
with
us
today.
Could
they
stand
for
a
moment
right
there?
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
here.
Welcome
Gavin
ooh.
A
A
The
sacrifices
that
these
men
and
women
in
uniform
have
made
to
defend
our
country
and
want
to
find
a
way
to
help
them.
They
also
plead
it
with
me
to
bring
attention
to
their
plight
by
raising
the
issue
in
a
high-profile
speech
and
I'm
pleased.
I
can
lend
them
a
hand
today
and
thinking
about
this
and
the
importance
of
DN
DS
presence
in
our
city.
A
I've
asked
councilor
Minnick
to
become
the
city's
first-ever
liaison
for
veterans
and
military
issues,
with
an
active
service
population
of
23,000
we're
the
largest
army
base
in
the
entire
country
in
Ottawa
and
more
than
53,000
veterans
and
their
families
living
in
our
city.
Many
in
the
East
End
it's
important
now
than
ever
to
make
sure
that
we
deal
with
this
important
community
to
ensure
they're
receiving
the
support
it
needs
from
the
City.
A
Councilor
medics
mandate
will
be
to
solidify
our
important
relationship
with
the
military
and
our
veterans
community
by
attending
their
events
and
Association
meetings
to
hear
their
concerns,
as
well
as
being
their
champion
right
here
at
City.
Hall
I
want
to
thank
councilor
Minich
for
taking
us
on
this
important.
Taking
on
this
important
and
eight
I
know,
he'll
be
dedicated
to
the
cause
and
deliver
for
this
community
that
has
always
been
near
and
dear
to
him.
Thank
You,
counselor,
medic
Elsie.
A
As
a
city,
we've
also
been
able
to
deliver
progress
for
residents
falling
through
the
existing
support
programs
offered
by
OC
Transpo.
Last
year
we
introduced
the
equi
pass,
a
monthly
transit
pass
for
low-income
residents.
Thanks
to
the
leadership
of
the
transit
Commission
and
chair
Blai.
In
2018,
we
have
been
able
to
expand
the
service
with
the
introduction
of
the
single
ride.
50%
discounted
equi
fare
and
we're
investing
a
total
of
3.5
million
dollars
in
these
programs
to
make
these
transit
services
more
affordable
and
accessible
to
our
communities.
B
A
Ablum
this
month
alone,
3,100
low-income
residents
benefited
from
their
monthly
subscription
to
the
equipoise
saving
an
individual
$700
plus
a
year
in
total
6,800
residents
have
registered
as
eligible
equi,
Pass
users
and
hundreds
of
them
have
already
made
single
ride.
Equi
fare
trips
in
the
first
few
weeks
of
January
and
I'm,
proud
that
we've
been
able
to
accomplish
so
much
at
City
Hall
because
of
the
eight
years
of
unprecedented
labor
peace.
A
We
are
making
our
community
more
affordable
and
welcoming
to
for
all
our
residents,
and
this
is
especially
important
for
the
newest
members
of
our
community
in
the
fall
of
2016.
The
city
and
its
partners
led
a
successful
United
for
Refugees
campaign
that
really
saw
our
community
coming
together
in
compassion
and
humanity.
Our
efforts
included
a
welcoming
Syrian
refugees
forum,
which
saw
the
creation
of
refugees,
6
1
3
and
brought
to
City
Hall
more
than
1,000
residents,
to
learn
how
they
could
help
as
a
result
of
these
efforts.
A
I'm
also
proud
that
we
could
help
the
Somali
community
host
their
first-ever
Somali
festival
here
at
City
Hall,
which
was
a
great
success
and
I'm
pleased
to
announce
it
will
become
an
annual
event
and
we'll
be
back
here
again
at
City
Hall
in
July
of
this
year.
Events
like
this
have
made
this
a
destination
for
residents
and
a
people
place
last
year,
for
instance,
City
Hall
hosted
363
events,
an
increase
of
more
than
50
percent
over
2013
numbers
with
more
community
organizations,
thinking
of
City
Hall
to
hold
their
meetings
and
festivities.
A
These
are
interesting
statistics
that
we
capture
the
Barbara
and
Scott
gallery
welcomed
over
17,000
visitors
in
2017.
Well,
more
than
27,000
people
stopped
to
look
at
the
chains
of
office
of
our
former
municipalities.
We
also
have
two
wonderful
art
galleries
and
the
Sports
Hall
of
Fame
on
May,
8th
and
celebration
of
International
Women's
Day
I.
Have
the
pleasure
of
welcoming
approximately
300
women
from
our
city
to
a
breakfast
reception
at
City.
Hall
will
make
the
opportunity
to
mark
a
first
and
ottawa's
diplomatic
landscape
as
the
representatives
of
France
Germany,
Great
Britain
and
the
United
States.
A
All
the
ambassadors
and
high
commissions
from
those
countries
are
now
all
women
and
will
be
speaking
at
this
special
event.
I
look
forward
to
hosting
every
year.
We
also
have
an
opportunity
to
pay
tribute
to
the
most
accomplished
residents
who
have
changed
the
face
of
our
city.
The
key
to
the
city
recipients
now
have
their
own
display
at
City
Hall,
to
which
we
added
the
name
of
six
deserving
citizens
and
institutions.
A
At
committee
meetings
as
full
voting
members,
we
have
added
for
citizen
commissioners
dedicated
transit
users
to
provide
their
input
at
the
transit
Commission.
Our
board
of
health
and
built
heritage
subcommittee
also
now
have
voting
public
members
and
I'm
proud
that
this
council
has
held
fewer
in-camera
meetings
than
any
other
council
in
the
city
of
Ottawa's
history.
A
Another
new
way
I
will
be
opening
up.
City
Hall
this
year
is
by
holding
a
mayor
for
a
day
contest
which
will
run
from
February
2nd
to
the
28th.
This
contest
was
suggested
by
the
Youth
Ottawa's
youth
engagement
committee
and
will
be
open
to
high
school
students
in
grades
9
to
12.
Those
who
want
to
participate
can
submit
their
best
three
ideas
to
improve
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
a
three-minute
YouTube
video
or
a
thousand
word
essay.
A
Two
contestants
will
be
selected
to
join
me
at
City
Hall
to
experience
a
day
in
the
life
of
the
mayor
of
Ottawa.
You
know,
I,
truly
believe
that
there
is
no
better
time
to
be
living
in
our
city.
In
fact,
our
quality
of
life
is
the
envy
of
many
cities
around
Canada
and
the
globe.
A
report
published
last
year
by
Deutsche
Bank
ranked
ottawa's
the
best
Canadian
city
to
live
in,
based
on
eight
factors
like
cost
of
living,
healthcare
safety,
commute
time
and
pollution.
A
This
affordability
relies
on
many
factors:
reasonable
rents
and
housing
prices,
good-paying
jobs,
low
inflation,
but
governments
must
also
do
their
part
to
ensure
low
taxes
for
their
residents
and
I'm,
proud
that
we
are
babe.
We
are
doing
what
we
can
to
maintain
tax
increases
at
a
low
and
predictable
level.
I
also
want
to
thank
councillors.
Hubely
includes
Shay
for
their
hard
work
as
chair
and
vice
chair
of
the
Audit
Committee
and
the
important
follow-up
work
they
are
engaged
in
to
ensure
best
value
for
taxpayers
dollars
a
voeckler
budget.
B
A
We've
made
great
progress
and
the
right
investments
to
improve
the
lives
of
our
residents.
Ottawa's
future
is
promising
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
all
members
of
council
in
2018
to
keep
up
this
progress
and
momentum
we
have
created
together.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
the
state
of
our
city
is
very
good,
and
its
future
potential
is
unlimited,
as
Eleanor
Roosevelt
once
said
quote.
The
future
belongs
to
those
who
believe
in
the
beauty
of
their
dreams.
End
quote:
let
us
let
our
dreams
ignite
our
future
for
an
even
better
Ottawa
Thank
You

Please
Thank.
E
You
mr.
mayor
first
congratulations
to
the
city
staff
and
to
chairs
Dean's
harder
and
Taylor
for
putting
this
document
together
on
inclusionary
zoning.
It
could
potentially
be
a
very
important
tool
as
we
try
to
keep
our
city
affordable
for
all.
The
original
staff
report
had
a
section
for
that
spoke
to
the
long
term.
E
Affordability
of
units
built
under
the
regime
that
I
felt
working
with
staff
could
be
more
positively
worded,
so
you'll
see
wording
in
the
revised
appendix
that
is
largely
in
the
same
vein
as
what
was
initially
proposed,
but
with
a
more
positive
statement
at
the
start,
and
there
was
language
that
snuck
through
to
the
Planning
Committee
document
around
whether
or
not
affordable,
housing
or
sorry.
Inclusionary
zoning
would
be
an
appropriate
tool
in
the
area
of
transit
stations
working
with
our
head
planner
as
Stephen
Willis.
E
It
was
determined
that
that
language
didn't
need
to
go
through
in
keeping
with
the
intent
of
what
staff
intended
to
propose
that
Planning
Committee
that
language
has
been
removed.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
me
to
read
the
entire
motion
I'm
going
to
presume
not
the
motion
is
therefore
be
it
resolved.
The
council
approved
the
comments
to
the
Ontario
Ministry
of
municipal
affairs
and
ministry
of
housing
on
its
proposed
regulations
on
inclusionary
zoning,
as
described
below
and
as
further
detailed
in
the
staff
technical
submission
set
out
in
the
revised
appendix
a
to
this
motion.
E
A
that.
The
regulation
include
a
companion,
inclusionary
zoning
regulation
addressing
rental
housing,
be
that
the
province
of
Ontario
recognise
current
municipal
investments
and
incentives
for
affordable
housing
and
reconsider
the
require
for
municipalities
to
offset
40%
of
the
costs
through
specified.
Incentives,
as
this
would
impede.
Current
programs.
Municipalities
are
offering
see
that
the
province
of
Ontario
provide
funding
to
municipalities,
to
offset
the
costs
of
implementing
the
regulation
and
D
that
municipal
decision-making
be
permitted
in
key
provisions
such
as
unit
set-aside
rates
off-site
replacement
restrictions
and
equity
sharing
models
and
be
it
FURTHER.
Resolved.
E
Again.
Mr.
mayor
I
think
that
the
document
that
is
before
council
has
a
few
tweaks
in
it.
That
I've
been
fortunate
to
work
with
staff,
and
my
colleagues
on
I
do
hope
that
staff
will
or
sorry
colleagues
will
support
this
document.
It
is
in
the
vein
with
what
housing
advocates
and
municipalities
across
the
country
are
providing
by
way
of
feedback
to
the
province
on
inclusionary
zoning.
Thank.
A
You
thank
you
so
mr.
Willis
you're,
okay,
with
the
changes
from
the
staff
perspective.
Yes,
mr.
mayor,
we
are
okay
on
the
motion
replacement
motion
carried.
Thank
you

all
who
had
a
hand
in

that
does
anyone
wish
to
remove
anything

D
Man,
whereas
the
zoning
details
for
the
report-
it's
it's
the
actual
report
number
here,
but
this
three
three-minute
railroad
recommends
that
all
shelter
used
be
permitted
on
the
subject
line
to
a
maximum
size
of
nine
hundred
square
meters
in
gross
areas,
whereas
City
Council
approved
on
November
22nd
2017.
A
change
to
document
three
details
of
recommended.
D
Zoning
of
that
report
be
amended
by
replacing
the
number
900
with
101
with
801
and
whereas
the
opponent
of
the
proponent
has
identified
that
a
maximum
of
100
140
shelter
beds
are
proposed
and
we
as
the
size
of
the
use
as
well
as
the
number
of
the
proposed
bed,
is
an
important
consideration
raised
by
the
community.
Concern
to
the
proposed
use,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
document
three
detailed
recommendations
owning
of
report
be
amended
to
include
the
following
additional
exemption.
D
C
C
You,
mr.
mayor,
this
is
a
issue:
that's
come
up
on
my
ward
up,
I'm
working
with
staff
for
two
months
and
I've
been
unable
to
get
the
list
from
them.
So
I'm
going
to
put
the
this
in
as
an
inquiry
in
hopes
of
getting
the
full
list.
So
I'll
read
it.
My
office
has
received
several
inquiries
about
garbage
littered
along
pathways
in
widely
used
areas
of
Canada
South
that
recently
had
waste
receptacles
taken
out.
C
It
has
been
brought
to
my
attention
that
multiple
waste
receptacles
have
been
removed
from
pathways
roadways
throughout
my
ward,
as
well
as
citywide,
because
of
the
City
of
Ottawa,
no
longer
practices,
roadside
pickup
can
staff.
Please
advise
how
many
waste
receptacles
have
been
removed
and
why?
How
many
were
removed
due
to
being
in
the
state
of
disrepair?
How
many
were
replaced
with
new
or
larger,
or
will
be
replaced
with
newer,
larger
receptacles?
C
How
many
receptacles
that
I,
purchased
out
of
cash
in
lieu
were
removed
and,
if
presents,
are
expected
to
use
receptacles
located
further
in
the
parks
has
accessed
during
the
evening
been
considered,
especially
our
pathways
without
lighting,
if
removals
related
to
dog
waste
or
household
garbage
has
bylaw
been
brought
in
to
address
these
issues
before
the
extreme
measure
of
removing
the
receptacles
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
thank.
E
Thank
you
very
much
chair.
Forgive
me,
I'll,
take
a
moment
to
read
this
one
inquiry
would
staff.
Please
provide
a
reply
to
the
following:
addressing
the
replies
to
the
relevant
committees
respectively,
preferably
by
April
2018,
one
aside
from
new
inclusionary
zoning
tools
extended
by
the
province
under
discussion.
What
tools
does
the
city
have
to
direct
that
housing
and
private
market
developments
in
the
vicinity
of
Rapid
Transit
be
affordable?
E
By
what
mechanism
could
the
city
direct
that
city-owned
facilities
when
built
or
redevelop
include
co-located,
not-for-profit
rental
housing
3?
What
existing
city
facilities
being
renovated,
repaired
or
redeveloped,
and
what
city
facilities
being
newly
built
in
the
next
10
years
could
accommodate
the
colocation
of
nonprofit
rental
housing,
assuming
the
appropriate
capital
funding
is
available
for
wood
staff,
provide
a
map
of
city-owned
lands
and
facilities,
including
lands
and
facilities
owned
by
community,
a
community
housing
and
OC
Transpo
within
1.5
kilometers
of
current
and
future
light
rail
transit
and
bus
rapid
transit
stations
5?
E
What
are
the
city's
current
urban
planning
strategies
to
ensure
that
urban
displacement
of
low-income
people
does
not
occur
around
rapid
transit
stations
and
what
planning
tools
does
it
have
in
its
toolbox
to
minimize
this
displacement?
As
we
are
already
seeing?
Property
values
rise
around
the
rapid
transit
stations,
including
BRT
and
LRT?
What
opportunities
exist
and
by
what
mechanism
could
the
colocation
of
not-for-profit
rental
housing
be
incorporated
into
the
lands
acquired
by
the
city
as
part
of
the
construction
of
the
various
phases
of
light
rail
7?
E
What
would
be
the
roles
and
responsibilities
among,
for
example,
corporate
real
estate,
social
services
and
planning
in
creating
and
implementing
a
hypothetical
council
policy
of
transit,
oriented,
affordable
housing,
including
when
developing
land
owned
by
the
city
and
acquired
for
the
purpose
of
constructing
LRT
life
cycle,
renewal
and
new
construction
of
city
facilities
in
proximity
to
transit
and
encouraging
affordable
housing
and
private
market
developments
close
to
transit?
Would
responsibility
for
that
be
shared,
or
is
it
possible
to
identify
a
lead
department?
Apologies
for
length
that
I
appreciate
your
indulgence.
Thanks
chair
thanks.
