many,
and
I
would
like
to
thank
mr
mayor
and
members
of
council's
staff
for
all
the
participation
and
support.
We
will
continue
maintaining
the
list
of
candidate
projects
for
use
in
the
future
programs,
and
we
will
continue
to
position
ourselves
ready
for
all
future
funding
opportunities.
A
Great
well,
thank
you
very
much
karina
and
your
entire
staff.
A
lot
of
work
went
into
this
project
in
a
limited
amount
of
time,
and
thank
you
all
colleagues
on
council
for
making
time
to
be
here
this
morning.
A
week
away
from
christmas,
we
can
consider
the
lists
of
projects
brought
forward
as
part
of
the
covet
19
resilience
stream
local
government
intake
under
the
investing
in
canada
infrastructure
program.
A
A
For
2021
and
residents,
including
from
low
income
and
racialized
communities
in
the
hetherington
area,
this
includes
a
5
million
dollar
contribution
to
a
new
south
end
clubhouse
for
the
boys
and
girls
club
of
ottawa,
as
well
as
a
750
000
investment
towards
the
1.5
million
dollar.
Expansion
of
the
beacon
hill
north
community
center.
A
A
By
upgrading
the
ventilation
systems
and
shelters
and
equipping
them
with
generators,
so
they
can
respond
to
the
needs
of
vulnerable
residents
at
all
times.
These
projects
will
prepare
these
shelters
to
deal
with
future
viruses,
while
making
them
more
climate
resilient,
with
a
particular
focus
on
active
transportation
and
safety,
as
well
as
retrofits
and
upgrades
to
buildings.
A
The
suburbs
in
our
rural
areas
and
most
of
these
projects
have
been
requested
by
councillors
and
the
community
for
quite
some
time
again,
I
want
to
thank
staff,
especially
carina
duplo
and
jen
nielsen,
for
the
diligent
work
on
this
list.
Over
the
last
few
weeks.
We
have
a
very
good
proposal
for
us
today,
one
that
invests
in
strategic
projects
with
maximum
benefits
for
our
residents,
and
I
hope
counselors
will
support
it.
D
Thank
you
and
mr
mayor
good
morning,
everyone
first
a
question
and
then
a
comment.
The
question
is
about.
There
are
several
on
the
list
that
there's
seven
thousand
dollars
for
the
installation
of
wi-fi
in
some
of
our
community
center
buildings.
Just
wondering
if
that
money
is
for
is
one-time
money
for
the
setup
and
that
the
city
will
be
taking
on
the
ongoing
costs.
I
Mr
mayor,
thank
you
for
your
question
councillor
so
that
the
thousand
dollars
quote
came
as
a
package
for
installation
and
36-month
operating
cost
from
an
existing
provider
that
the
city
already
has.
So
we
are
hoping
that,
with
the
7000,
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
install
the
hardware
and
operate
the
facility
for
three
years.
D
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
answer
and
mr
mayor
just
my
comments
in
particular
on
the
boys
and
girls
club,
because,
as
you
know,
the
recommended
boys
and
girls
club
house
is
in
hetherington
in
my
ward,
boys
and
girls
club.
I
think
we
all
know
this
have
been
an
integral
part
of
our
city
for
many
years,
and
they've
provided
much
needed.
Services
for
thousands
of
children
across
the
city.
D
This
was
the
old
city
works
yard
and
in
february
of
2014,
the
city
declared
its
surplus
to
the
city's
need
and
intended
to
sell
it,
and
I
worked
really
hard
councillor
harder
will
remember
this.
We
put
up
quite
a
fight
to
keep
that
land
in
city
hands
because
in
neighborhoods,
like
low-income
neighborhoods,
like
hetherington
city,
land
is
really
important
for
the
development
of
those
neighborhoods,
and
I
just
couldn't
bear
to
see
it
sold
for
condos
in
that
neighborhood
when
density
is
already
high
there
and
obviously
community
need
is
very
high.
D
So
you
know
fast
forward
six
years
and
because
we
kept
that
land,
we
now
have
this
incredible
opportunity
to
provide
a
much
needed
clubhouse
to
the
kids
in
in
hetherington,
and
I
I
just
think
there's
a
lot
of
thanks
to
go
around
to
stephen
bechten,
michelle
taggart,
who
have
been
working
for
months
on
this
project
to
stephen
willis
and
the
city
staff,
who
have
been
working
really
hard
to
make
this
happen.
This
clubhouse
will
be
transformational.
D
It
would
will
change
the
lives
of
many
low-income
kids
in
the
south
end
of
the
city.
It
will
give
them
a
start
for
a
better
life,
and
so
it
does
feel
like
christmas
is
coming
early,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
that
was
involved
in
this.
It's
a
it's
a
happy
day
for
the
people
in
the
south
end,
so
thank
you.
L
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
to
staff
for
for
bringing
this
forward
and
all
your
work
that
has
gone
into
this.
I
know
it
was
a
quick
turnaround.
So
thanks
for
for
all
that,
you've
done.
I
noticed
that
we,
so
we
we've
got
a
total
amount
of
projects
that
we're
applying,
for.
I
think
you
mentioned
21
million.
So
and
that's
that's
the
amount
that
we're
that
we're
applying
for
it's,
not
it's
not
more
than
that,
it's
not
less
than
that.
L
It's
I
think
it's
right
on
the
amount
in
terms
of
the
ottawa
share
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
it
looks
that
way
and
I'm
just
wondering
on
this
infrastructure
project,
because
a
lot
of
programs,
a
lot
of
them
are
not
created
equal
is
this
when
we're
expecting
the
funding
that
municipalities
request
to
be
confirmed
and
not
have
a
bunch
of
tinkering
and
changes,
because
some
of
them
there's
tinkering,
there's
changes
when
it
gets
to
the
provincial
level.
Is
this
one
that
it's
expected?
L
F
I
Mr
mayor,
thank
you
for
the
question
councillor,
so
you
saw
the
slide
with
the
timelines.
We
we
were
flying,
trying
to
identify
the
best
projects
to
get
the
the
best
program
put
forward,
especially
with
this
opportunity
of
not
having
to
cost
share.
It
was
a.
It
was
a
very
fast
and
difficult
exercise
and
we
did
receive
the
criteria
for
the
program
very
late
in
the
game.
So
there
was
a.
I
There
was
a
very,
very
quick
check
on
the
criteria
and
the
deliverability
of
the
projects
we
did
our
best.
Now
there
are
some
maybe
details
that
we
will
have
to
confirm,
and
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
opportunity
to
make
a
change
if
the
criteria
is
not
met
either
because
of
the
the
the
delivery
of
the
project
or
other
issues
that
may
we
may
have
missed
and
not
be
able
to
put
a
replacement
project
and
use
the
entire
funding.
F
Thank
you
I
so
on
that.
I
just
when
you
review
the
list.
You
know
there's
one
there's
one
ward,
that's
kind
of
glaringly
absent
and
to
that
degree-
and
I
wish
I
had
considered
this
back
when
I
was
submitting
ideas
for
for
ward
21,
but
last
fall,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
go
out
to
fellows
road
and
learn
of
a
fairly
significant
gap
in
the
infrastructure
in
the
sidewalk
network
leading
up
to
a
school.
F
I
call
it
a
monterey
catholic
de
tardision
and
I
was
out
there
with
with
the
city
staff
as
well
as
the
principal
of
the
school
and
it's
a
400
meter,
section
of
sidewalk
that
covers
parkway,
jury,
lane
and
fellows
road
and
again
I
hate
to
nitpick,
because
it's
one
project
and
it's
a
big
city,
but
just
curious.
If,
if
anything
happens,
everything
were
to
occur
where
something
had
to
be
shifted
around
or
something
couldn't
be
be
met.
Would
it
be
possible
that
the
city
could
evaluate
that
project
for
its
feasibility?
F
I
Mr
mayor,
thank
you
counselor.
We,
we
will
add
that
to
the
list
of
potential
replacement
projects,
if
we
need
to
go
there.
Just
from
the
top
of
my
head
and
listening
to
your
description,
I
would
probably
say
my
gut
feeling
is
saying
that
we
cannot
deliver
in
a
year.
You
know
what
it
takes
when,
especially
when
it's
a
brand
new
sidewalk,
we
need
to
do
drainage.
There's
a
lot
that
goes
into
that.
I
So
probably
the
deliverability
of
that
project
would
be
would
be
a
challenge,
but
we
will
add
it
to
the
list
of
potential
projects.
The
list
keeps
growing,
and
I
like
to
remind
you
that
this
is
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg
and
we
are
expecting
more
funding
and
we
are
positioning
to
be
successful
with
that
funding
and
any
project
that
may
not
have
been
able
to
be
delivered
that
we
receive
it's.
It's
piling
up
on
the
list
that
we
had
before
for
any
funding
that
is
coming
down.
F
Okay,
that's
perfect!
No!
I
appreciate
that.
I
mean
it's.
It's
a
sidewalk.
I
know
it's
identified
in
the
tnp,
it's
a
phase
three
project
in
the
tmp,
but
it
was
identified
a
bit
as
a
priority,
just
given
a
certain
situation
there
in
that,
in
that
one
community,
with
with
transportation
needs
and
and
school
busing
and
school
drop
off,
it's
a
regional
school
that
comes
from
a
long
distance
and
there's
a
lot
of
safety
concerns
there
that
the
school
identified
so
anyways.
I
appreciate
that.
That's
all
thanks.
G
Thank
you,
marin,
good
morning
to
you
and
colleagues.
First
of
all,
I'm
very
happy
to
see
money
in
every
award.
Let's
be
frank
as
counselors
when
the
city
gets
money
and
it's
only
allocated
to
two
or
three
awards.
Yes,
we're
happy
the
city
gets
money,
but
you'll
always
want
resources
and
opportunities
for
your
own
word
I'll,
admit
that
so
I'm
very
happy
to
see
it
being
spread
and
I'm
sure
staff
had
a
challenge
trying
to
identify
those
projects
with
the
timelines
and
criteria.
G
Thank
you
for
the
work
that
you've
put
into
it
just
to
complement,
counselor
dean's
comments
about
the
boys
and
girls
club
clubhouse
very
happy
to
see
this
as
well,
certainly
happy
to
see
it
in
hetherington
and
really
as
as
the
pitch
was
made
for
this
clubhouse.
It
really
will
be
serving
multiple
wards,
not
just
gloucester
southgate.
You
have
heron
gate
literally
across
the
street
in
altavista
ward,
you
have
been
fledbury
not
too
far
in
my
ward,
and
this
is
really
a
multi-ward
clubhouse
that
will
benefit
many.
G
G
I
G
Yeah,
what
I'm,
where
I'm
going
is
in
carlington
you
have
three
centers
identified
for
connectivity,
one
is
the
carlington
rec
center
and
what
I
would
suggest
is,
if
there's
an
opportunity
to
swap
hunk
club
riverside
park
with
this
one.
That
would
be
great
and
the
reason
is
the
rec
center
is
literally
a
gym.
The
other
centers
have
the
multiple
rooms,
they're
more
more
used
and
maybe
hunkling
riverside,
would
be
better
bang
for
our
buck.
So
I
just
want
to
plant
that
with
staff
and
see
if
that
opportunity
exists.
G
I
So
it's
not
that
we
did
not
look
at
cycling
infrastructure.
We
look
at
every
single
piece
of
especially
connectivity
issues
like
that
that
we
want
to
resolve,
but
we
cannot
deliver
by
the
end
of
2021,
so
we
needed
to
come
up
with
projects
that
we
knew
can
comply
with
the
program
to
make
sure
that
we
were
successful.
G
J
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Yes,
I
had
a
chance
to
ask
a
few
questions
last
night
to
to
karina.
Thank
you
very
much
for
answering
me
late
at
night,
and
one
of
the
questions
I
had
was.
I
appreciated
the
digital
connectivity.
It
was
something
I
had
been
asking
for.
I
had
met
with
staff
earlier
about
this
because
I
saw
the
need
in
the
community
very
much
as
we
all
did,
and
the
three
places
are
chosen
are
all
places
where
we
have
a
city
facility.
J
J
So
so
that's
something
to
look
for
in
the
future.
We've
already
had
that
discussion
about
how
to
help
that
community
out,
which
everyone
knows
is,
is
in
need.
I
just
wanted
to
get
an
idea
of
it's
already
been
touched
on,
but
how
the
digital
connectivity
will
work
and-
and
is,
is
this
something
that
has
been
driven
by
covet?
Is
this
something
that
what
does
it
look
like
going
forward
and
how
it's
going
to
be
used?
J
I
I
thought
it
was
going
to
you
know,
be
helpful
to
the
actual
people
in
the
community
in
their
homes,
but
it's
it's
just
in
the
facility,
but
is
this
meant
for?
Is
it
being
pictured
to
be
used
by
students
coming
into
the
building
and
during
covert
times?
How
does
it
look?
What
are
we
picturing
here
of
how
it
works.
I
Thank
you
counselor,
so
the
the
the
spirit
of
installing
and
digital
connectivity
at
these
locations
is
to
provide
the
community
that
surrounds
those
buildings,
a
place
where
they
can
go
and
connect
to
the
internet.
Not
everybody
has
wi-fi
in
their
homes
and
with
covid
and
isolation.
It's
important
to
keep
people
connected.
It's
also
a
possibility
for
them
to,
through
the
use
of
wi-fi
connect
to
city
services.
I
J
I
J
It's
a
large
sum
of
money
and
very
much
appreciated,
because
we
know
it
it's
a
building
in
need
and
what
concerns
me
is
if
this
money
hadn't
come
along.
What
would
we
have
done?
Because
we
saw
a
report
from
the
auditor
general
about
how
we're
falling
behind
in
our
infrastructure
and
repairs,
and
I
couldn't
help
but
wonder
what
would
have
happened
if
we
hadn't
done
this
with
this
money.
J
B
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
councillor.
It's
shelley
van
busker
from
housing
services,
so
we
had
reduced
at
the
start
of
covid.
We
had
reduced
the
capacity
in
the
carling
family,
shelter
to
promote
physical
distance
thing
so
and
put
you
know
all
of
the
the
recommended
ottawa
public
health
practices
in
operating
at
probably
less
than
50
capacity
at
the
carling
family,
shelter.
J
Okay,
so
that
will
continue.
I
guess:
okay,
all
right!
Thank
you
very
much.
I
I
was
I
have
to
admit.
I
was
I
was
concerned
when
I
saw
ward
8.
In
fact
I
I
discovered
there
was
an
error
because
it
says
something
about
going
from
a
sidewalk
that
went
from
the
queen's
way
to
carling,
which
would
have
been
ward
7,
and
it
was
pointed
out
to
me
after
know
that
it
was
actually
a
piece
on
the
south
side
that
that
it
wasn't
anything
about
carly.
J
I'm
sure
there
was
other
projects
and
I'd
like
to
think
that
residents
all
across
the
city
would
benefit
from
this.
So
I
appreciate
the
comments
from
councillor
moffatt
on
what
he's
observed
there
as
well
in
terms
of
needs,
but
I
appreciate
the
help
on
on
the
shelter
and
the
digital
connectivity
and
we'll
talk
further
about
britannia
woods
as
we
know
its
need.
Thank
you.
H
Great,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor.
First
of
all,
I
I
agree
with
councillor
dean's.
It
kind
of
feels
like
christmas,
and
it's
not
all
the
time
that
you
can
say
there's
some
good
things
that
come
out
of
covid.
Just
so
you
know
behind
me:
that's
the
beacon
hill
community
center.
Yes,
it's
a
shoe
box,
there's
no
windows,
it's
very,
very
small,
and
for
many
many
years
I've
been
working
with
you,
mr
mayor
and
hoping
this
would
actually
take
place
good
examples
of
when
it
becomes
a
challenge
in
your
community.
H
We
had
a
federal
election
not
too
long
ago,
and
we
are
always
dependent
on
the
local
schools
to
be
able
to
use
their
gymnasiums
for
debates
and
other
things
that
take
place
during
those
election
periods.
When
you
can't
even
have
a
local
community
center
access
to
be
able
to
do
those
kind
of
things
it
becomes
more
and
more
challenging.
So
I
I
won't
take
up
too
much
time.
I
just
again
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
the
hard
work.
H
K
K
Am
I
missing
something
is
I
mean
there's
some
community
can
see
benefit
by
provide
them
with
generators,
portable
washroom
or
additional
portable
washroom.
You
know
this.
We
all
know
it's
not
gonna,
it's
not.
If
we
have
another
flood,
it's
gonna
be
when
we
have
another
floods
in
our
community,
but
there's
no,
I
don't
see
anything.
Am
I
missing
something
please
about
the
floods
resilient.
I
Mr
mayor,
thank
you
for
your
question.
Counselor
you're,
absolutely
right
and
we
did
look
at
projects
for
that
category.
Very,
hardly
because
we
understand
the
needs,
the
projects
we
identified.
They
were
all
unable
to
be
delivered
by
the
end
of
2021.
We
had
shorelines
restoration
that
we
need
to
do.
We
have.
We
have
a
lot
of
identified
needs
that
we
thought
we
we
were
going
to
explore
and
try
to
deliver,
but
we
cannot
put
any
of
those
projects
in
because
of
the
timelines.
I
K
Well,
I
I
understand
the
logic
and
I
mean
I'm
not
saying
statesville
don't
need
it.
Probably
every
community
in
the
city
should
be
equipped
with
generator
in
case
of
emergency
and
we've
seen
quite
a
bit
lately,
but
the
flood
area,
which
is
where
people
live.
It
doesn't
seem,
there's
any
recommendation
for
that
flood
resilient,
whether
generators
or
or
others
in
the
area
I
mean,
even
I
see
jen
in
a
call
with
you.
We
even
send
a
letter
to
to
the
province,
ask
him
to
make
those
roads
safe
during
the
floods
and
the
province.
K
B
B
E
E
E
We've
heard
from
you
several
times
that
there's
likely
going
to
be
at
least
one
more
round
of
of
of
stimulus,
type
funding,
and
while
staff
was
excellent
in
a
number
of
accounts.
My
colleagues
have
mentioned
this
already
and
answering
questions
over
the
last
24
hours,
or
so
I'm
sure
that
was
stressful
for
staff.
It
was
stressful
for
counselors
to
try
to
wrap
their
heads
around
the
projects
and
how
they
were
chosen.
E
I
Mr
mayor,
thank
you
councillor
and,
yes,
we're
actually
flying.
We
provided
as
much
notice
as
possible.
The
like,
like
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
received
the
criteria
pretty
late
in
november
and
we
had
a
list
of
160
projects
that
we
needed
to
cross
check
with
that
criteria
and
then
sit
down
with
our
deliverable
delivery
guys
and
make
sure
that
they
could
deliver
the
projects
or
not
so
it
was.
I
It
was
a
very,
very
difficult
exercise
to
come
up
with
the
list
we
defined
and
as
you
as
you
saw,
even
after
the
list
was
put
out.
We
we
had
to
make
some
adjustments
on
some
last
minute.
Changes
we'll
do
our
best
to
submit
our
ideas,
or
maybe
our
draft
to
council
as
early
as
possible
for
future
funding
projects.
Programs.
E
Yeah
and
and
karina,
please
it's
not
a
criticism.
I
I
know
you
guys
work
flat
out
to
to
come
up
with
this
list
and
it's
it's
very
comprehensive
but,
as
I
say
it
put
a
lot
of
stress
on
you
and
your
colleagues
and
in
in
turn
on
on
counselors
to
try
and
figure
out
how
it
all
fit
into
their
their
wards
and
communities
as
a
whole.
So
anything
we
can
do
next
time
to
give
everybody
a
little
bit
more
lead
time.
E
I
think
I
think
would
be
helpful,
but
please
do
not
take
it
as
a
criticism.
I
think
I
think
the
team
did
a
fabulous
job
in
in.
I
think
council
brockton
spoke
to
it.
There's
there's
projects
in
every
single
ward
in
the
city
and-
and
I
know
around
this
table-
that's
that's
very
much
appreciated.
So
thank
you.
B
B
Out
and
get
some
fresh
air
with
with
the
ongoing
pandemic,
it's
great
for
for
mental
health
and
for
our
physical
health.
So
I
do
really
appreciate
that
just
a
question
on
renewals,
when
we
do
renew
these
pathways,
will
we
be
bringing
them
up
to
aoda
standard?
I
know
that
a
lot
of
pathways
in
my
award
were
built
prior
to
the
aoda,
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
a
tactical
wayfinding
surface
indicators
and
that
sort
of
thing
are
going
to
be
included
in
these
renewals.
A
J
B
I
B
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
Councillor
meehan.
I
see
no
other
hands
up
so
again.
My
sincere
thanks
to
staff.
As
you
know,
the
both
federal
and
provincial
governments
are
working
at
the
speed
that
normally
governments
don't
work
at
to
get
as
many
of
these
dollars
out
to
the
community
to
help
with
economic
stimulus
and
to
help
those
vulnerable
members
of
our
community.
So
we
did
the
same
with
the
rapid
housing
and
now
with
this
and
we'd
all
obviously
like
to
have
more
time.
A
But
time
is
of
the
essence,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
miss
any
of
the
deadlines,
because
if
we
do
the
costs
beyond
the
deadline
fall
directly
to
our
shoulders
and
our
taxpayers
shoulders.
So
I
appreciate
the
great
work
that
our
staff
did
on
a
limited
amount
of
time
and
the
input
that
members
of
council
gave
our
our
staff.
So
we
have
the
motion
by
myself
seconded
by
councillor.
Dudas
carried
all
right.
A
Thank
you.
Our
final
item
on
the
agenda
for
today's
meeting
and
for
this
year,
as

general
hiring

a
information
on
the
recommended

has
been
sent
to

anyone
wish
to
go
in

at
this
point?
Before
we
have
a
presentation,
anyone
have
any
in-camera
questions.
A
A
So

the
selection
panel.
It
was
councillor

de
roos,

clutier.
A
I
believe
that
was
it
myself
and
they
put
in
a
lot
of
hours.
We
had
several
meetings
and
we
want
to
thank
those
colleagues
of
yours
who
worked
up
until
basically
six
o'clock
last
night

So
a
big
thank
you
to
those

put
in
long

we

through
a
lot
and
and
with
that,

am
very
pleased
to
bring
forward
the
following
motion.

Mr
mayor,
I
would
ask
our
city
clerk
if
we
could
put
on
the
screen
the
image
of
santa
jacob.
My
three-year-old
son
received
a
letter
from
santa
who's,
asked
me
to
pass
along
information
for
all
families
in
ottawa.
Here
it
goes
dear
jacob.
I,
along
with
mrs
claus
and
the
elves,
have
not
stopped
preparing
for
christmasy
gift
deliveries.
C
B
C
B
Has
been
difficult
for
all
of
us,
including
santa
at
my
old
age
change,
is
not
easy.
I
will
be
delivering
safely
into
everyone's
home
and
after
every
child
has
received
a
gift,
I
will
be
resting
with
my
family
in
my
home.
Usually
in
the
north
pole,
we
have
a
big
community
gathering.
After
my
deliveries
we
play
music.
We
eat
good
food
with
a
lot
of
people,
but
this
year
we're
staying
put.
B
C
B
D
Well,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor,
and
those
are
really
tough
acts
to
follow,
especially
when
all
I
have
is
to
adjourn.
So
let
me
just
wish
all
of
you
a
safe
and
covet
free
christmas
and
and
a
very
happy
and
healthy
new
year
and
I'll
look
forward
to
seeing
you
all
and
getting
back
to
work
for
the
citizens
of
this
great
city.
So
with
that
that
the
proceedings
move
by
myself
seconded
by
councillor
man
that
the
proceedings
of
the
city
council
meeting
of
december
18th
be
a
church.
