Thank
you
everyone.
Yes,
mr
mayor,
this
is
a
technical
amendment,
just
a
correction
to
document
three,
if
you
like,
I
can
read
it
all
or
I
can
just
go
here
to
resolve
that
no
further
notice
be
provided
pursuant
to
sub-section
theory
that
is
sub-section
34-17
of
the
planning

So
basically,
mr
may
just
a
small
correction
to
the
document.
H
A
No
on
the
bulk
consent
agenda,
as
presented
carrie?
Okay,
we'll
go
back
to
the
beginning.
We
have
ottawa
community
housing,
their
annual
general
meeting
of
the
shareholder.
As
you
know,
we
are
the
shareholder
of
och,
so
we
have
a
presentation
by
board
chair,
conse,
fleury
and
president
stefan
giguere.
So
we're
going
to
ask
councillor
fleury
and
mr
jager
to
give
us
a
presentation.
I
believe
you
have
five
slides.
K
B

K
K
The
impacts
of
covet
19
as
more
people
are
home,
has
also
brought
the
rising
cost
of
utilities,
which
has
increased,
created,
immense
financial
pressure
for
all
housing
providers.
In
2021,
we
anticipated
utility
costs,
water,
electricity
and
natural
gas
to
be
over
25
million
at
och
representing
a
20
increase
from
previous
schools.
K
Housing
affordability
remains
a
challenge
with
or
without
the
pandemic,
but
och
continues
to
innovate
and
leverage
partnerships
to
create
new,
affordable
housing,
crucial
to
a
healthy
city
and
the
well-being
of
its
residents.
It's
exciting
to
see
several
mixed
income
transit-oriented
and
sustainable
new
buildings
on
the
horizon.
More
than
a
thousand
units
are
in
construction
and
design
at
och,
including
gladstone,
village
mikinak,
and
we
will
soon
turn
our
focus
to
overbough.
K
B
Majority
of
the
sochl
ochc
was
participating.
Thank
you
very
much
for
everyone
for
the
collaboration.
I
will
now
give
the
floor
to
stefan
gigan
he's
the
pd
ceo
of
the
ochc.
Thank
you
everyone.
It's
a
real
pleasure
for
you
to
be
with
here
to
present
you
on
behalf
of
the
team
and
the
tenants,
the
2020
report.
L
L
Next
slide,
please,
whatever
community
housing's,
remarkable
ongoing
response
to
this
crisis
and
continued
service
delivery
to
tenants
also
come
in
large
part
from
the
resiliency
and
core
strength.
That
is
a
that
is
showcasing
this
report.
A
great
example
will
be
how
we
train
and
equip
och
workers
who
volunteer
to
be
part
of
a
specialized
maintenance
team.
This
team's
mission
was
to
complete
emergency
repairs
in
more
than
300
homes.
That
self-identified
with
a
higher
risk
of
exposure
to
the
virus.
L
Och
continues
to
positively
impact
tenants
lives
during
this
unprecedented
time.
Next
slide,
please,
the
well-being
of
all
oca
tenants
has
always
been
paramount.
It
and
it
emerged
as
a
top
priority.
During
this
pandemic,
we've
been
listening
and
providing
ongoing
support
to
the
most
vulnerable
by
working
with
local
agencies,
as
we
made
over
20
000
phone
contacts
and
over
12
thousands
in
persons
visits
to
tenants
in
all
of
our
communities
next
slide.
L
The
och
10-year
housing
development
framework
sets
a
goal
to
add
new,
affordable
loans
in
ottawa.
In,
like
the
city's
10-year
housing
and
homelessness
plan,
och
is
leading
the
design
construction
of
more
than
a
thousand
new
homes
across
ottawa.
Last
year
alone,
och
secured
over
200
million
dollars
to
fund
the
construction
of
additional
homes
and,
most
importantly,
to
retrofit,
and
to
renovate
the
existing
housing
stock
of
15
000
homes,
which
are
on
average
51
years
old
earth
and
young,
provided
an
unqualified
audit
opinion
stating
that
last
year's
financial
statements
are
fair,
accurate
and
consistent.
L
They
also
show
that
we
manage
within
our
operating
budget.
Och
ended
the
year
with
an
overall
fund
balance
of
70.6
million
dollars
sufficient
to
support
strategic
goals
and
its
commitment
to
housing
needs
next
slide.
Please,
the
depending
has
brought
challenges
that
none
of
us
could
have
ever
predicted.
It
has
amplified
existing
acute
needs
in
our
communities.
We
have
witnessed
more
food
insecurity,
isolation,
digital
gaps,
mental
health
and
addiction
issues
and
anxiety.
L
Our
partner
agencies
have
also
noticed
a
decline
in
senior
equity
as
a
result
of
extended
isolation.
Och
has
adapted
almost
overnight
to
ensure
that
services,
support
and
communications
were
provided
to
the
32
000
tenants
in
our
communities.
The
work
and
collaboration
with
the
city
of
ottawa,
palawa,
public
health
and
other
key
partners
continue
to
ensure
that
together
we
support
the
most
vulnerable
next
slide.
L
L
We
are
also
building
additional,
affordable
housing
and
the
construction
is
well
on
the
underway
and
the
och
team
remains
committed
to
serving
and
making
positive
difference
in
housing
the
most
vulnerable
in
every
day.
We
are
grateful
to
you,
our
shareholder
city
council
and
the
staff
at
the
city
of
ottawa,
for
your
ongoing
support
in
helping
to
make
och
better
for
the
tenants
living
with
us.
A
I
Thank
you,
marin,
good
morning
to
you
and
to
colleagues.
First
of
all,
thank
you
to
staff
for
a
detailed
report.
I
was
able
to
attend
briefly
the
fedco
meeting
last
week
for
the
public
delegations.
I
really
appreciate
the
research
and
the
scope
of
research
that
was
done
in
this
regard.
I
certainly
supported
going
down
that
road
and
I'm
happy
to
see
this
report
before
us.
I
I
have
the
comments
I'd
like
to
make
first
on
the
principle
of
adding
a
new
tax
and
then
the
implementation
of
this
tax.
I'm
going
to
start
with
the
latter
with
some
questions.
First
for
staff
so
to
staff.
I
would
like
to
start
off
with
the
administration
of
this
tax.
On
page
10,
you
talk
about
survey.
Respondents
showed
that
residents
favored
the
mandatory
declaration
annually
over
the
other
two
approaches
listed
in
the
report.
The
mandatory
declaration
approach
would
require
every
single
residential
homeowner
to
complete
a
declaration
annually
regarding
the
vacancy
status
of
their
property.
I
M
Thank
you,
so
council
really
good
question
and
one
of
our
goals
is
to
make
this
the
least
burdensome,
not
only
for
city
but
for
our
residents
as
well,
and
we
would
really
seek
to
leverage
all
of
the
electronic
tools
that
we
have
in
place
today.
And
my
service
ottawa
is
a
really
great
example
of
that.
So
we're
going
to
leverage
the
communication
that
we
have
through
that
tool.
So
people
could
do
their
declaration
through
the
tool.
D
Thank
you
miss
merritt,
so
we
did
quite
a
bit
of
benchmarking
to
try
and
understand
what
the
best
approach
was
in
terms
of
dealing
with
our
objective,
which
is
reducing
the
amount
of
vacant
homes
in
the
city
of
ottawa.
So
we
looked
at
different
models.
The
three
models
that
we
presented
and
we
spoke
about
in
the
report
in
terms
of
how
we
determine
how
many
units
are
vacant
within
the
city
we
received,
we
picked
those
from
benchmarking
and
we
also
socialized
them
with
residents.
D
So
when
we
looked
at
all
three
approaches
and
then
combined
that
with
the
feedback
from
residents
in
terms
of
what
they
preferred-
and
we
also
looked
at
what
would
be
most
effective,
the
mandatory
approach
definitely
stood
up.
Yes,
it
is
some
additional
work
for
individuals
that
do
not
have
vacant
units
or
are
living
in
their
properties.
But
it's
it's
a
little
bit
of
of
of
work
for
huge
gain
for
the
city.
I
On
page
11,
you
say
in
vancouver
the
failure
to
declare
by
the
due
date
results
in
the
issuance
of
a
bylaw
infraction
and
homeowners
are
subject
to
a
fine.
Homeowners
are
also
provided
with
extended
due
date
by
which
to
declare
which
is
good.
If
the
declaration
is
not
received,
the
property
will
be
deemed
vacant
and
the
subject
and
will
be
subject
to
tax,
and
you
are
going
to
adopt
that
approach
that
would
recommend
implementing
a
similar
reproach
in
ottawa.
That's
a
huge
red
flag
for
me.
I
If
we
thought
our
constituents
were
upset
because
they
got
a
postcard
in
the
mail
about
sewer
line
insurance,
wait
till
they
get
a
five
thousand
dollar
bill
because
they
didn't
reply
to
the
request
to
indicate
whether
their
unit
was
inhabited
or
not,
that
that
is
a
huge
red
flag.
But
that
is
the
default.
D
Counselor,
so
upon
investigation
once
the
if
the
individual
did
receive
a
five
thousand
dollar
bill
and
they
believed
that
their
unit
was
not
vacant,
they
would
have
an
opportunity
to
appeal
upon
the
appeal.
We
would
then
investigate
and
if
the
unit
was
then
deemed
to
be
occupied,
then
the
bill
would
then
they
would
then
receive
a
credit
on
the
bill.
D
However,
we
want
to
avoid
that
whole
process
where
we
have
to
go
through
the
appeals
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
because
those
take
time
for
the
homeowner
they
take
time
to
the
city
and
therefore
we
want
to
encourage
as
many
people
to
declare
up
front
before
they
have
to
go
down
through
this
process.
Now
the
appeals
process,
the
first
level
of
appeals
is
there
is
no
cost
for
that.
D
But
again,
if
we're
not
hearing
back
from
the
resident
after
having
given
them
some
time
to
to
declare
whether
their
unit
was
vacant
for
the
previous
year
and
then
we
give
them
an
extended
deadline
and
we
still
don't
hear
with
them.
I
think
the
next
logical
I
think
path
is
for
us
to
deem
the
unit
vacant
and
let
the
resident
then
come
to
us
and
say
well,
my
res.
My
unit
was
not
vacant.
If
it
truly
wasn't
vacant,
then
the
the
bill
would
then
be
reversed
and
the
tax
would
not
apply.
I
D
So
we
we
talked
about
different
approaches
in
terms
of
how
we
would
go,
we
would
determine
who
to
audit.
I
think
we
we
will
be
looking
at
doing
some
random
sampling,
we'll
we
will
be
looking
at
properties
say,
for
example,
that
may
have
been
vacant
in
the
previous
year,
but
now
have
been
sort
of
declared
as
occupied.
D
We
may
also
look
at
a
couple
of
different
approaches
in
terms
of
sampling.
What
applications,
what
declarations
that
we
sort
of
need
to
audit
on
a
year-to-year
basis?
We
also
may
have
targeted
approaches
in
terms
of
auditing,
so
it'll
depend
year
by
year
and
depending
on
sort
of
what's
happening,
and
so
the
the
the
the
the
audit
approach
is
not
specifically
looking
to
target
a
specific
group,
it'll
be
generally
random
and
also
sort
of
tied
to
certain
specific
items.
As
we
mentioned
in
the
report,.
I
The
majority
of
people
who
reply
to
the
survey,
I
would
conclude,
are
very
supportive
of
this
tax.
You
got
very
positive
levels,
and
yet
the
majority
of
people
do
not
support
a
six-month
trigger
to
initiate
a
tax
majority
supported
a
larger
time
frame
nine
months.
Twelve
months
talk
to
me
about
why
six
months
and
not
a
year,
for
example,.
D
Counselors,
so
we
we
got.
42
percent
of
the
respondents
supported
us
six
months,
the
nine
month
and
the
12
month
and
the
18
month
actually
got
lower
support
overall
compared
to
the
six
months
so
the
sixth
month.
Yes,
it
was
less
than
50
percent,
but
the
other
months
I
think,
successively
got
lower
support
than
the
six
months
so
generally.
That
is
why
we
went
with
the
six
months.
D
So,
if
I'm
looking
at
this,
the
mandatory
declaration-
sorry,
the
the
six
month
got
42
percent
the
nine
month
got
19
support.
12
months
got
18
support.
18
months
got
16
support
and
five
percent
did
not
indicate
any
support
for
any
period.
So
overall,
42
percent
at
six
months
got
the
highest
support
by
a
mile.
I
D
Okay,
so
we
we
also
looked
at
that
and
we
that
was
not
the
only
driver
in
terms
of
determining
what
period
to
go
with.
We
also
did
a
whole
benchmark
study
in
terms
of
what
actually
makes
sense
in
terms
of
being
able
to
stimulate
the
market,
so
it
just
so
happened
that
I
think
where's
sort
of
leaning
towards
is
sort
of
what
the
surveys
seem
to
support
as
well,
and
you
will
see
in
the
report,
we
always
did
not
go
with
the
majority
of
what
what
the
majority
in
terms
of
the
survey
said.
D
I
Thank
you,
I
guess
overall
colleagues,
I'm
uncomfortable
creating
a
new
tax.
I
did
not
run
on
a
platform
of
creating
a
new
tax,
I'm
uncomfortable
with
a
mandatory
requirement
for
every
homeowner
every
single
year
to
go
through
this
process.
I
think
a
number
of
people
will
slip
through
the
reporting
and
will
find
a
bill
in
their
mail
for
one
percent
of
their
assessed
value
of
their
home,
which
will
create
a
number
of
issues.
I
N
Thanks
very
much,
mr
mayor,
I
wanted
to
to
thank
both
counselor
mckinney
and
yourself
and
your
office
for
for
bringing
this
motion
forward
and
particularly
like
to
thank
staff.
In
particular,
mr
joseph
mahoney
who's
been
very
helpful
in
answering
questions
that
I've
had
and
that
my
residents
have
had
on
this.
N
The
the
basic
fact
of
the
matter
is:
we
have
people
without
houses
and
houses
without
people
and
a
vacancy
tax
is
one
of
the
tools
to
help
put
two
and
two
together,
and
so
land
values
continue
to
go
up
in
ottawa
and
that
is
in
part
driven
by
speculative
pressures
on
the
real
estate
market,
and
so
this
taxes
is
one
significant
step
in
the
right
direction.
With
a
vut,
we
can
disincentivize
speculative
behavior
while
at
the
same
time
generating
some
revenue
for
the
city
that
can
be
used
to
fund
non-market
housing
options.
N
The
proposed
eligibility
and
the
definitions
for
the
vut
are
sensible,
as
are
the
proposed
exemptions
and
the
proposed
rate.
I
think
you
know.
One
percent
is
a
good
enough,
starting
point
from
which
we
can
observe
impacts
on
the
market
while
at
the
same
time
collecting
revenue
for
affordable
housing.
The
mandatory
declaration
of
vacancy
does
make
sense,
given
our
existing
powers
and
frameworks,
and
you
know,
needs
to
be
defended.
I
think
voluntary
declaration
will
will
not
get
the
job
done
and
and
relying
on
declarations
is
is
not
ideal.
N
H
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor.
This
question
to
staff:
do
we
have
any
indication
of
how
many
new
residential
units
are
sitting
vacant
upon
completion?
I
you
know
we
hear
anecdotally
about
investors
coming
in
and
buying
up.
You
know
total
blocks
of
of
new
town
homes.
Is
there
any
evidence
to
that
fact
to
you
know
to
that.
D
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor,
so
we
we
do
not
have
any
information
currently
on
how
many
new
units
newly
constructed
units
are
actually
sitting
vacant,
maybe
purchased
as
a
result
of
speculation
or
foreign
investors
that
are
coming
and
purchasing
these
units
and
leaving
them
vacant.
So
the
the
information
that
was
available
to
us
at
the
time
of
this
report,
I
think,
was
very
general
in
terms
of
vacant
unit
and
did
not
distinguish
by
new
newly
constructed
units
versus
units
that
may
have
been
constructed
a
while
back.
H
D
That
is
a
very
fair
conclusion.
Counselor,
I
think.
Once
we
run
the
first
declaration,
we
will
have
an
extremely
good
indication
of
where
the
vacancies
sit
where
they're
at
where,
if
there's
pockets
within
the
city
and
so
on
so
forth,
in
terms
of
you
know,
are
they
newer
buildings?
Are
they
older
buildings?
Are
they
condominiums?
Are
they
single
family
homes,
et
cetera,.
H
D
So
we
we
are
looking
into
that
and
as
we
continue
to
develop
the
program,
if
should
council
approve,
it
approve
the
framework
that
we
presented
today.
We
will
continue
to
develop
the
program
and
sort
and
bring
a
final
recommendation
in
the
spring
of
2022,
as
part
of
the
framework
that
we've
recommended
is
that
it
we're
recommending
that
we're
going
to
going
to
highly
publicize
this-
and
I
do
understand
where
you're
coming
from
counselor
in
terms
of
people
potentially
missing
this,
but
these
advertisements
will
not
only
be
through
the
media.
D
We
will
also
include
information
inside
every
property
tax
bill,
so
individuals
will
know
for
a
fact
that
they
are
required
to
declare
for
their
unit,
because
not
all
units
will
be
required
to
declare.
There
are
certain
units
that
don't
need
to
declare
because
they're
not
within
the
scope,
so
the
folks
that
are
within
the
scope,
they
will
receive
specific
and
individual
communication
from
the
city
saying
you
need
to
declare
it
and
you
need
to
declare
by
a
certain
date
so,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
that,
especially
at
the
beginning.
F
D
Councillor,
that
is
not
information
that
is
readily
available
to
us.
At
this
point,
I
think
the
the
estimates
that
we've
provided,
I
generally
indicate
what
we
believe
in
terms
of
how
many
units
would
be
subject
to
the
tax.
So
I
think
we
said
between
750
to
about
3
000
are
sitting
vacant
generally.
We
believe
some
of
those
may
not
most
of
those
probably
not
available
for
sale
at
this
point
in
time,
and
that's
why
they're
sitting
vacant
or
have
been
sitting
vacant
for
more
than
six
months.
D
So
there's
there's
two
things.
I
think
that
we
we
note
in
in
the
report.
One
principal
residences
are
not
subject
to
the
tax,
so
assuming
the
individual
is
awaiting
to
sell
their
home
or
perhaps
maybe
they're
they're
still
using
it,
so
it
would
not
be
subject
to
the
vacant
unit
tax.
The
second
component
is,
there
seem
to
have
been
some
support
for
potentially
providing
a
an
exemption
to
the
vacant
unit
tax
for
non-principal
residences
that
have
been
put
on
the
market
for
more
than
six
months,
either
for
rent
or
for
sale.
D
K
Mr
mayor,
I
thought
this.
This
discussion
was
held
meaningfully
at
fedco
and
surprised
by
by
the
intervention
by
some
colleagues
on
the
matter.
I'd
remind
us
all
that
there
is
a
cost
to
taxpayers
to
having
vacant
buildings
there.
I
see
it
firsthand
when
a
vacant
is
built
when
a
building
is
vacant,
that
it'd
be
bylaw.
That
would
be
the
impact
on
the
neighborhood
that
it
be
the
value
of
the
property
that
it
be
police
that
it
be
fires
which
we've
had
in
a
number
of
incidents.
K
So
this
is
another
tool
that
prevents
vacancy
that
supports
more
housing
and
that
ultimately
protects
communities.
So
I
hope
that
we
support
it.
I
think
it's
the
right
thing.
I
think
the
mechanisms
that
are
described
by
joseph
and
wendy
will
continue
to
evolve.
I
hear
you
counselor
brockington,
relating
to
to
simplicity
for
the
majority
of
residents
who
pay
residential
property
taxes.
How
can
we
make
it
simple
on
them?
I
think
that's
a
challenge
that
we
post
to
our
team
today.
Today's
approval
doesn't
put
in
con
in
place
the
entire
thing
it
sets
the
structure.
K
We
can
work
with
our
team
to
make
sure
that
we
simplify
that
that
situation
for
our
residents
for
the
majority
you
are
occupying
units.
So
from
my
perspective
I
hear
you,
I
think
it's
a
very
valid
point,
but
going
to
vote
against
the
report
which,
to
me
is,
is
really
specific
to
capturing
occupancy
and
the
negative
impact
of
vacancy
within
communities,
I
think
is,
is
short-sighted
from
from
my
perspective,
so
I'll
be
supporting
the
report.
Mr
mayor.
A
A
C
A
A
H
Yes,
yes,
your
worship,
I
do.
I
I
just
like
to
make
a
comment.
If
I
may,
it
comes
to
this
extremely
important
issue
for
not
just
my
award
but
for
a
lot
of
words
in
the
in
the
south
end
of
the
city.
I
want
to
speak
in
opposition
to
the
bylaw
amendment
that
was
approved
unanimously
by
planning
committee
earlier.
H
H
So
it
sits
in
the
middle
of
maryville
road,
which
is
two
lanes
battlefield
road,
which
is
primarily
two
lanes,
fallowfield
road
prince
of
wales,
which
is
two
lanes
which
is
really
far
from
a
highway
at
this
point
and
woodruff,
which
no
longer
connects
with
prince
of
wales
drive.
And
yes,
you
will
hear
in
the
staff
report
that
these
are
designated
truck
routes
in
any
other
city.
H
They
would
not
be
designated
truck
routes
and
many
many
residents
live
along
the
long
these
roads
pre-pandemic
these
roads
were
called
gridlock
and
when
I
reaction
back
in
2018,
the
reason
I
did
so
was
particularly
was
primarily
because
of
traffic
and
and
gridlock.
What
I
saw
as
poor
city
planning
ottawa
was
seeing
phenomenal
residential
growth
in
the
south
end
with
all
the
the
traffic
and
the
cars
that
come
along
with
it.
Yet
city
planners
did
not
prioritize
roads
upgrade
grades
to
accommodate
the
massive
change
in
traffic
patterns.
H
I
knew
we
could
do
better
at
least
back,
then
I
thought
that
we
could
so
here
we
are
in
2021
with
a
scenario
a
few
of
us
could
have
envisioned
retail
shopping
habits,
have
changed,
necessitating
more
trucks
on
our
roads,
climate
change
be
damned
and
a
company
needs
space
in
ottawa
to
grow
this
business.
The
owners
of
the
tract
of
land
in
question
in
south
maryvale
see
a
great
opportunity.
I
I
certainly
would
as
well
I'm
sure
but
good
for
them,
but
not
good
for
all
the
residents
who
live
around
this
area.
H
It's
not
good
planning
to
permit
a
business
that
relies
so
heavily
on
trucks
to
be
located
anywhere,
but
near
a
400
series
of
highways,
councillor
egleye
and
I
and
thousands
of
residents
who
live
whose
lives
will
be
changed
forever,
fought
this
application
on
solid
reasons.
We
simply
do
not
have
the
infrastructure.
We
cannot
accommodate
more
traffic.
Even
when
life
is
not
back
to
normal
zoning
rules
and
permitted
amendments.
Don't
tell
the
whole
story.
We
have
seen
time
and
time
again.
H
Planning
committees
simply
ignore
the
concerns
of
residents,
who
will
be
most
affected
in
favor
of
development,
and
that
really
has
to
stop
it's
demoralizing.
So
many
communities
in
our
city.
Now,
I'm
not
against
growth.
That
comes
with
commerce,
but
we
have
to
ask
ourselves
at
what
cost
does
this
happen?
H
H
We
are
a
community
of
communities
and
if
you
allow
a
warehouse
and
trucking
depot
in
south
maryvale
business
park,
communities
on
both
sides
of
the
river
north
and
south
will
be
hurt
and
you're
going
to
hear
arguments,
and
the
staff
report
says
that
well
yeah.
If
we
don't
allow
this
trucking
depot,
then
other
companies
are
going
to
move
in
with
even
more
traffic,
but
you
know
that
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
be
the
case
we
can
put
in
better
bus
routes.
H
H
I
appeal
to
you
today
to
please
please
reconsider
this
application
vote,
no
show
our
residents
that
their
opinion
and
their
quality
of
life
mean
something
you've
got
the
petition
that
was
circulated
at
the
beginning.
That's
almost
four
thousand
names
and
counselor
eglai,
and
I
do
not
approve
of
this
zoning
application.
So
I
ask
you
to
please
reconsider
your
vote
today.
Thank
you.
F
F
The
the
virtual
open
house
that
was
held
a
number
of
weeks
ago
was
one
of
the
busiest
planning
open
houses,
I've
ever
attended
and
the
response
from
the
community
from
a
variety
of
different
neighborhoods,
both
in
my
ward
and
and
council
meehan's
board,
was,
was
unequivocal
that
the
community
did
not
think
this
was
a
good
fit
for
a
whole
variety
of
reasons,
traffic,
noise
and
and
so
on.
So
you
know,
I
think
the
point
to
be
made
here
is
the
community
has
spoken.
F
The
planners
have
spoken,
there's,
obviously
divergence
of
opinion
on
this,
but
we
represent
the
residents,
and
the
residents
have
indicated
in
in
both
wards
that
this
is
is
not
the
preferred
use
for
this
particular
piece
of
property
and
they're
unanimously
against
it
in
terms
of
the
representation
provided
both
in
writing
and
personally
at
the
at
the
meeting.
So
I'm
quite
supportive
of
the
remarks
that
my
colleague
has
made
in
this
regard
about
the
impact
of
this
development
on
the
on
the
community.
Thank
you.
O
F
Mr
mayor,
yes,
the
the
current
zoning
is
light.
Industrial,
the
the
main
distinction
between
heavy
industrial,
would
be
heavy
manufacturing
more
outside
storage,
those
types
of
activities
which
are
not
proposed
here,
so
it's
you
know
cleaner,
typically
within
the
building
versus
the
heavier
heavier
manufacturing,
which
can
have
more
significant
impact.
F
E
E
P
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
yeah.
Thank
you.
I
did
attend
most
of
the
fedco
meeting.
It
was
the
lack
of
infrastructure
in
the
area
for
pedestrians
and
cyclists,
and
so
that
that
that
bothered
me
a
lot.
I
know
as
a
driver
going
out
there
trying
to
get
to
ottawa
community
housing
meetings,
but
nobody
takes
prince
of
wales.
It's
it's
insane
you're
going
to
spend
like
an
hour
on
it,
so
I
don't
know
how
it
got
chosen
as
a
fast
route.
P
P
Q
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I've
thought
long
and
hard
also
on
on
this
application.
You
know,
looking
at
the
planning
rationale,
it's
you
know,
certainly
some
aspects
of
it
are
there.
However,
as
a
as
a
downtown
counselor,
I
certainly
understand
and
sympathize
with
the
effect
of
large
trucks
in
neighborhoods
and
what
happens
when
we
bring
large
trucks
and
open
up
truck
routes
in
in
neighborhoods.
Q
The
number
of
people
who
signed
a
petition
over
3
000
residents
to
sign
a
petition
on
one
application.
I
really
believe
you
know
brings
me
to
another
point
around
a
bit
of
a
democratic
deficit.
If
you
will
in
our
planning
process,
we
just
are
not
giving
people
in
their
communities
enough
ownership
over
what
we
do
in
their
communities,
and
you
know
in
the
end,
I
believe
you
know
that
we
have
decisions
to
make.
Q
Q
However,
I
also
believe
that,
for
the
most
part
people
know,
you
know
what
it
is
like
to
live
in
their
neighborhoods
and
what
the
effects
of
of
this
type
of
traffic.
That
is
really
it
was
councillor.
Kavanaugh,
said
it
best
trucks
first,
and
that's
not
the
way
we
should
be
building
a
city,
it's
not
the
way
we
should
be
building
neighborhoods
and
really
without
having
brought
the
community
along.
Q
R
N
N
So
you
know
these
streets
are
designated
trucking
routes,
but
it
doesn't
change
the
impact
on
local
residents,
and
so
I'm
very
torn
about
the
way
to
vote
on
this
proposal,
and
I
don't
know
which
way
I'm
gonna
vote
when
it
comes
down
to
it,
I'll,
listen
to
the
rest
of
the
discussion,
but
we
need
to
think
about
ways
to
adapt.
You
know,
such
as
smaller
trucks
on
our
city,
streets,
moving
towards
safer
delivery,
enhanced
screening
and
landscaping
that
will
serve
the
purpose
of
improving
air
quality,
blocking
noise
beautifying.
N
These
routes,
road
improvements
that
will
properly
calm
traffic
and
they'll,
provide
proper,
safe
space
for
all
road
users.
I
looked
at
the
report.
A
1.5
meter
bike
plane
painted
is
not
a
safety
measure
with
these
large
trucks
beside
them,
so
improve
transit
to
the
area.
To
help
relieve
road
congestion,
we
need
that
we
need
to
have
full,
reliable
and
convenient
transit
ready
to
go
as
soon
as
that
proposed
business
starts
operating
on
the
site.
N
These
are
things
that
we
may
need
to
send
back
to
say:
let's
get
it
right
with
the
3200
people
that
have
signed
that
petition
and
at
the
same
time
I
recognize
there
is
a
change
in
in
the
way
our
city
is
receiving
goods
ordering
goods
and
that
there
needs
to
be
space
for
this.
This
change
as
well,
so
I'm
very
torn
on
this,
and
I
appreciate
the
debate
but
I'll,
listen
to
the
rest
of
it.
S
Thanks
thanks,
obviously
you
know
this
is
a
important
filing.
We
hear
we
hear
of
these
types
of
applications
quite
often
and
with
our
official
plan.
We
are
looking
at
these
we're
looking
at
where
to
site
these
types
of
facilities
in
ottawa,
and
you
know
there
is
some
correct
aspects
of
these
being
needed
near
400
series
highways.
Of
course
everyone
supports
them
near
foreign
series
highways.
We
know
that
in
the
case
of
the
amazon
facility
in
bar
haven,
it's
actually
further.
S
S
The
azerite
zoning
permits
more
of
those
today
without
a
zoning
amendment
without
coming
to
council.
It
permits
many
of
them.
You
can
see
that
today,
they'll
use
those
truckers,
those
prince
of
wales
and
foul
field,
it's
a
misnomer
to
suggest
that
these
roots
wouldn't
be
truck
roots
in
other
cities.
Two
lane
roads
are
quite
often
truckers
wherever
you
go
doesn't
matter
if
you're
in
kingston
vancouver
two
lane
roads
are
often
truck
routes,
just
check
any
truck
route
map
they're
all
available
online
prince
of
wales
choose
the
notion
that
it
hasn't
been
upgraded.
S
S
S
It's
I
represent
a
small
business
park
and
I
represent
an
area
where
an
application
is
coming
forward
for
a
larger
facility,
where
a
small
30
to
40
facility
business
park
was
originally
proposed
and,
from
a
leadership
perspective,
it's
easier
to
be
able
to
manage
areas
that
have
one
single
owner.
I
know
the
petition
comment
was
made.
I
get
that
you
know
we
had
866
signatures
on
a
petition
against
a
12
unit
apartment
building
in
canada.
S
S
In
this
case
I
mean
the
petition
there's
more
signatures
on
petition
from
british
columbia
than
there
are
from
riverside
seth,
so
we
can't
just
take
them
on
on
full
merit
of
what
what
they
are
and
that
they
just
remove
our
ability
to
make
decisions.
We
have
to
lead.
We
have
to
make
the
right
decisions
for
our
communities,
and
sometimes
that's
not
always
easy,
and
just
relying
on
petitions
to
sort
of
absolve
absolve
us
of
that
responsibility.
I
don't
think
is
responsible.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
council
moffat.
Obviously
I
was
on
a
committee
as
well,
and
I
voted
for
this
for
this
application
and
you
know
from
time
to
time
I
think
we're
all
faced
with
some
applications,
and
you
know
not
necessarily
the
existing
community
likes
it,
and
I
was
faced
with
a
petition
for
folks
in
phase
three
they
want.
You
know
they
wanna
ban
trucks
going
to
to
you
know
to
bring
material
to
phase
three,
and
you
know,
because
we
built
phase
one
phase,
two
they're
comfortable.
J
J
Yes,
it's
easy
for
someone
like
myself
to
receive
his
paycheck
without
looking
at
how
we
can
see
how
and
we're
not
creating
that
the
zoning
already
existed.
We
heard
the
people
and
we
saw
the
british
and
I
can
assure
you
a
lot
of
the
people
didn't
know
what
we
were
agreeing
on
at
that
meeting
same
same
debate
we
had
in
the
past
in
other
areas
and
other
councils
area.
J
When
we
call
them
them
from
the
other,
so
folks
we
voted
for
this
and
was
unanimously
bought
on
committee
and
and
and
now
we're.
Turning
to
you
know,
bicycle
safety
or
you
know,
that's
not
the
zoning
is
that
all
other
stuff,
I
think
is,
is
a
valid
and
we
need
to
medicate,
but
right
now
it's
what's
in
front
of
us
and
that's
what
we
voted
for
on
a
committee.
So
I
hope
my
colleague
will
still
support
the
committee
recommendation.
K
Yes,
I
have
a
question.
Thank
you
very
much,
but
as
a
city,
there
are
a
number
of
other
considerations,
the
op
and
particularly
the
transportation
master
plan.
Would
it
be
possible
to
hear
from?
I
know
that
transportation
master
plan
is
at
its
early
stages
of
review,
but
could
we
better
understand
the
considerations
in
the
tmp
relating
to
truck
routes,
I'm
obviously
invested,
but
I
want
to
understand
its
impacts
on
our
consideration
for
the
vote
today.
O
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
think
the
counselor
raises
some
really
good
questions
around
the
op
and
one
of
the
key
things
really
is.
You
know
the
drivers
for
economic
development
and
and
jobs
in
the
community
and
to
your
question
counselor
fleury:
absolutely
there
will
be
implications
for
transportation
and
I
do
believe
it
is
premature
at
this
point
in
time
to
get
into
a
dmp
discussion,
but
certainly,
I
think
with
as
the
community
in
this
area
continues
to
grow.
P
K
Okay,
I
I
feel
the
same
way
about
the
the
application
I'm
unsure
about
where
to
go
from
a
couple
of
points,
one
which
is,
I
understand
they
used
to
be
permitted,
but
there
are.
There
are
significant
considerations
when
you
start
thinking
about
truck
routes,
and
so
on.
The
other
piece,
too,
is
that
there
are
a
lot
of
there's
some
fundamental
issues
that
I
face.
K
That
each
of
us
face
is
that,
if
you're
a
local
delivery,
you
have
to
use
the
preferred
truck
route,
but
you're
allowed
to
use
other
streets,
and
we
see
that,
for
example,
on
the
vanity
parkway,
which
is
not
a
permitted
truck
corridor,
but
local
deliveries
are
permitted.
So
we
have
a
bigger
trucking
discussions
to
have
through
the
tmp.
I
I
would
hate
that
this
application
kind
of
shapes
a
preset
decision
too
early,
so
I'm
concerned
with
the
impacts
of
today's
vote.
Thank
you,
mr.
T
Thank
you
mayor.
I
was
a
planning
committee
and
it
was
a
very
interesting
debate
and
many
many
good
thoughts
and
opinions
shared
by
the
delegations
as
well.
I
just
wanted
to
share
a
few
things
that
stood
out
for
me
on
this.
This
file.
I
do
support
the
staff
report.
One
thing
that
stood
out
from
planning
committee
is
the
current
zoning
allows
for
275
truck
bays.
The
new
zoning
wouldn't
change
that
it
would
just
change
the
type
of
building
or
business
that
they're
attached
to.
So
I
think
that's
important.
T
The
other
thing
is
the
history
of
this
property
and
councilor.
Harder,
probably
knows
this
better
than
any
of
us,
but
when
this
maryvale
business
park
was
first
established
30
years
ago,
it
was
serviced
and
the
uses
that
are
being
sought
here
were
originally
allowed
in
the
zoning,
and
it
was
when
jds
uniphase
wanted
to
move
in
that
that
zoning
was
changed.
T
I'd
hate
to
see
the
land
here
sit
empty
for
another
decade
or
two,
and
by
changing
the
zoning
it
actually
creates
a
an
opportunity
for
businesses
to
set
up
here.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
land,
that's
appropriate
for
manufacturing
industrial.
You
know
this
kind
of
use,
so
we
need
to
be
helping
landowners,
make
sure
that
they're
able
to
attract
businesses
and
allow
businesses
to
set
up
in
our
community.
T
You
know
often
we
think
of
these
things
as
diametrically
that
oh
there'll
be
a
big
shipping
center
from
amazon
or
something
here
and
that'll
help
hinder
local
businesses.
But
I
was
really
interested
in
what
the
rep
from
the
bia
shared
was
that
local
businesses
actually
need
more
infrastructure
close
to
them
to
help
with
their
shipping
needs.
T
We've
seen
in
covet
and
acceleration
of
online
services
on
top
of
bricks
and
mortar
and
having
more
facilities
to
aid
with
shipping
and
logistics
would
actually
help
local
businesses.
So
this
idea
that
it's
kind
of
an
either
or
shipping
or
large,
warehouses
or
amazons
versus
local
businesses
isn't
quite
the
whole
story.
Then
it's
a
little
more
nuanced
than
that
and
we
need
to
have
more
infrastructure
in
our
community
to
support
the
shipping
needs
and
the
logistics
and
operations
of
local
business.
R
Thank
you
very
much,
I'm
very
sympathetic
to
some
of
the
arguments
that
I'm
hearing
today
from
my
council
colleagues.
This
is
something
that
I
deal
with
every
day
in
my
community
with
truck
routes
like
trim,
road
10th
line,
but
especially
jean-dark.
You
know,
which
is
less
than
50
meters
away
from
backyards,
and
it
is
a
major
trucking
route.
R
R
I
think
that
we
deal
with
this
issue
all
over
the
city
and
it's
it's
a
difficult
one,
but
we
also
have
to
consider
the
fact
that
the
less
that
we
allow
larger
trucks
because
of
this
economy
of
scale,
the
more
goods
and
services
are
going
to
cost
in
the
future,
and
that's
something
I
think
that
we
should
all
be
considering.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
M
I'm
going
to
point
out
a
real
life
example.
I
live
in
blackburn
hamlet.
The
community
has
been
living
right
next
to
an
active
quarry
for
its
entire
existence,
the
road
that
the
we
get
tons
and
tons
hundreds
of
large
dump
trucks
and
concrete
trucks
going
up
and
down
our
roads.
Every
single
day
we
have
developed
a
very
strong
relationship
with
that
one
entity
that
is
running
that
and
all
of
its
contractors
to
make
sure
that
one
they're
sweeping
the
roads,
they're
they're,
keeping
track
of
it.
And
yes,
we
have
issues,
I
mean
literally.
M
I
just
got
a
notification
they're
gonna
blast
this
afternoon.
So
if
you
hear
it
now,
you
know
what
that
is
in
the
background,
but
once
again
I'm
dealing
as
a
counselor
for
my
representatives
with
one
entity
we're
working
through
the
issues.
When
cyclists
comment
that
we're
having
gravel
on
the
roads
they
go
out,
they
sweep
it
and
we've
developed
that
over
time,
but
I'm
not
having
to
chase
down
multiple
entities
and
our
residents
have
understood
that.
M
Not
only
are
we
dealing
with
the
truck
traffic,
but
it
also
provides
much-needed
jobs
within
walking
distance
of
our
community,
well-paid
jobs.
So
it's
it's
a.
I
understand
the
community's
perspective
about
this.
I
get
that
change
is
not
easy
and
I
get
that
this
is,
although
that
the
zoning
and
the
a
lot
of
the
allocation
of
this
land
for
this
purpose
is
old.
This
is
new
to
them,
but
I
am
going
to
point
out
that
this
has
been
managed
and
managed
effectively
and
well
and
continues
to
be
in
other
areas
of
our
city.
M
We've
done
it
before.
We
can
do
it
again
as
long
as
we
take
into
account
the
needs
for
investment
in
the
transportation
in
that
area.
So
I
will
be
supporting
this
zoning
amendment
because
I
think
that
it's
important
that
we
continue
to
evolve
as
a
city
to
catch
up
and
and
stay
in
align
with
our
economic
reality,
while
also
realizing
that
our
residential
communities
need
to
evolve
in
terms
of
their
transportation
needs.
So
I
will
be
supporting
this
and
I
wanted
to
give
that
perspective
as
somebody
who
lives
it
every
day.

K
Mr
mayor,
it's
a
motion.
I've
brought
countless
times
to
to
counsel
relating
to
fast
tracking
of
demo.
That's
a
vacant
property
that
would
have
seen
a
fire.
It
has
all
the
provisions
that
paid
is
asking
for
relating
to
legal
fees
and
process.
So
if
you
wish,
I
can
read,
but
it's
pretty
standard
nowadays.
A
G
It
hurts
murder
three
generations
of
a
family
who
came
to
canada
only
to
seek
a
better
life.
I
know
that
this
pain
is
felt
even
more
acutely
by
all
members
of
the
muslim
community
who
are
anxious
and
grieving.
The
sad
truth
is
that
islamophobia
exists
and
it
is
pervasive
in
canada
and
yes,
even
in
ottawa.
G
G
We
know
that
hate
crimes
targeting
the
muslim
community
account
for
30
percent
of
all
religion-based
hate
crimes
in
canada.
I
believe
it
is
our
duty,
as
a
city
council,
to
send
a
clear
message
of
leadership
and
say
with
one
voice
unequivocally
and
without
hesitation,
that
we
condemn
all
forms
of
hate
in
our
society.
G
G
E
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
as
both
the
chair
of
the
police
services
board
and
member
of
this
council,
I
welcome
the
opportunity
to
second
this
motion
brought
by
councillor
king
today.
Like
all
canadians,
I
was
deeply
saddened
and,
frankly,
horrified
to
learn
that
three
generations,
from
the
of
cell
and
selem
family,
were
senselessly
senselessly
killed
in
an
act
of
terror
on
sunday.
My
thoughts
are
with
the
victims,
their
loved
ones,
especially
the
little
boy
nine-year-old
child
who's
left
without
a
sibling
parents
or
grandparent,
the
muslim
community
and
everyone
grieving
this
heavy
loss.
E
As
a
member
of
council
who
has
a
large
number
of
muslims
in
my
ward
and
who
I
count
among
my
friends
and
acquaintances,
I
stand
firmly
in
solidarity
with
the
members
of
the
muslim
community
at
this
incredibly
difficult
time.
We
must
strongly
condemn
this
act
of
terror
and
must
all
continue
to
do
our
part
to
address
islamophobia
in
our
communities.
E
This
motion
is
also
a
call
to
action
for
us
to
reaffirm
the
commitments
that
we
have
made
to
tackle
systemic
racism.
In
our
city
and
in
the
city
of
ottawa's
policies
and
practices,
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
councillor
king
for
putting
this
motion
forward
today.
I
know
all
members
of
council
would
support
this,
and
I
know
we
all
have
heavy
hearts
to
see
this
client
this
act
of
terrorism
in
our
country.
Thank
you.
P
P
That
is
out
there
and
we
have
to
push
back
it.
It's
a
it's
a
reality,
and
I
I
heard
from
the
ottawa
muslim
women's
association
and
who
I
know
very
well
and
the
the
depth
of
pain
is,
is
incredible
and
I
hope
that
will
continue
to
move
forward
in
terms
of
our
own
diversity,
which
is
about
acceptance
and
and
and
understanding,
and
we
need
to
do
more
of
it
within
our
own
city
and
in
just
in
terms
of
education,
and
I
think
we
can
be
leaders
on
this.
C
C
Regarding
religious
components,
it's
unacceptable.
We
have
to
change
it's
important,
not
just
to
speak,
but
to
take
concrete
action
and
to
punish
the
guilty
party.
If
they
are
white
man
from
the
right
well,
we
have
to
punish
them.
The
canada
has
changed
a
lot
and
we
must
continue
to
ask
for
changes
and
we
will
continue
to
oppose
these
behavior
the
more
we
talk
about
it,
the
more
it
will
change.
C
A
A
Whereas
the
incidents
of
hate
crimes
have
increased
in
the
ottawa
community
and
stats,
canada
reports
that
in
2019
hate
crimes
targeting
the
muslim
population
accounted
for
30
of
all
religion-based
hate
crimes
in
canada
and
whereas
there's
no
place
for
islamophobia
or
any
sort
of
hate
in
our
society.
Therefore
be
it
resolved
that
ottawa
city
council
unequivocally
condemned
the
terrorist
attack
on
the
fsall
and
salam
family
in
london.
Ontario
agrees
with
the
ottawa
muslim
community
and
recommits
the
city
to
identifying
and
challenging
systemic
racism
in
our
policies
and
practices
on
the
motion
carried
and
updated.
A
I
A
That
became
canada
and
became
the
first
mayor
of
canada
in
1978,
whereas
she
has
dedicated
nearly
50
years
of
her
life
to
municipal
politics
and
as
a
role
model
for
young
women
interested
in
politics
and
public
service.
And
whereas
raising
awareness
about
strong
women
leaders
is
part
of
the
path
to
achieving
gender
equity
and
whereas
marianne
wilkinson
was
instrumental
in
having
the
canada
town
center
pedestrian
bridge
constructed
over
highway.
417
to
join
north
and
south
canada,
therefore
be
it
resolved.
The
canada
town
center
pedestrian
bridge
over
highway
417
be
renamed
the
marianne
wilkinson
bridge.

R

Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
need
to
take
the
opportunity
to
publicly
advise
my
council
colleagues,
city
staff
and
residents
of
ward
11
beacon
hill
cedarville,
that
I
was
the
person
who
sent
the
confidential
memo
dated,
may
10
2021
entitled
claiming
claim
related
to
builders
risk
policy
following
the
sinkhole
event
to
a
member
of
the
media
and
for
the
inappropriate
action.
I
am
truly
sorry
and
sincerely
apologize.
R
I
want
counsel
to
understand
that
I
take
full
responsibility,
but
I
also
want
them
to
know
that
it
was
due
to
the
carelessness
on
my
part,
and
it
was
not
an
intentional
breach
of
counsel
confidentiality
council's
request
to
the
city's
integrity.
Commissioner,
on
the
leak
which
I
supported,
I
discovered
I
had
inadvertently
included
confidential
memo
in
a
bundle
of
documents
that
I
had
sent
to
a
journalist
on
an
unrelated
public
issue.
R
R
I
can't
change
what
happened,
but
I
can
commit
to
you
all
that
I'll
be
much
much
more
careful
in
the
future
when
emailing
documents
to
others
and
I'll
never
breach
the
council's
confidentiality
requirements
again.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
once
again
apologize
for
this
mistake
and
I'm
looking
for
the
acceptance
of
my
apology
today.
A
Thank
you,
councillor,
tierney
council
colleagues.
I'm
of
the
view
that
the
privilege
raised
by
the
councillor
his
apology
and
the
suggest
suggested
next
steps
have
effectively
ended
the
matter
and
made
the
investigation
by
the
integrity
commissioner,
redundant,
counselor
al
shantiri,
who
moved
the
original
motion.
J
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
mr
american
light
of
our
colleagues
admission
and
apology.
I
knew
that
this
matter
has
now
been
resolved.
That
council
accept
the
members
apology
and
and
request
that
the
integrity
commissioner
sees
his
investigation
regarding
this
matter.
I
believe
that
deputy
clerk
had
a
copy
of
my
motion,
and
I
I
want
to
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
for
agreeing
to
second
that
motion.
J
A
O
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
I'll.
Let
the
clerk
put
it
up
on
the
screen.
This
is
an
inquiry
that
I
worked
on
with
counselor
meehan,
so
I'll,
just
read
it
out,
concurrent
with
the
2021
draft
budget
process
staff
brought
forward
a
report
to
transit,
commission
and
council
that
made
revisions
to
the
urban
transit
area
uta
to
align
the
urban
policy
area,
as
defined
in
the
official
plan
consistent
with
council
policy.
O
This
change
resulted
in
846
properties,
mostly
residential,
being
included
in
the
uta
effective
january
1st
2021.,
a
number
of
residents
are
being
impacted
by
sudden
and
significant
increases
in
their
property
taxes
due
to
their
integration
into
the
uta,
creating
hardship
for
some.
As
a
result,
can
staff
provide
the
following
information
to
council
as
soon
as
possible,
if
feasible
within
the
next
30
days?
T
Thank
you,
mayor
telecommunications
companies
such
as
rogers
and
bell
are
upgrading
fiber
infrastructure
in
many
established
communities
in
ottawa.
This
work
typically
takes
place
on
the
city's
right
of
way
and
can
impact
both
private
and
public
property.
We
have
seen
a
significant
increase
in
the
number
of
inquiries
to
our
office,
this
spring
related
to
these
installations.
T
How
is
telecom
infrastructure,
installation
and
construction
regulated
by
the
city?
What
notifications
are
telecom
companies
required
to
provide
to
residents
about
upcoming
work?
How
does
the
city
monitor
telecom
work
to
ensure
compliance
with
policies
and
bylaws?
What
are
the
requirements
for
reinstatement
of
landscaping,
sidewalks,
etc?
And
what
is
the
warranty
period
for
this
work,
and
when
is
the
next
planned
review
of
the
policies
and
bylaws
that
affect
telecom
infrastructure
installations?
A

Please
provide
a
written
response
to
committee
and
council
outlining
how
staff

work
with
cornerstone
housing
for
women
to

a
short-term
solution
to
the
current
situation,
impacting
the
organization
and
its
residents
with
the
end
of
lease
at
the
university
of
ottawa
residents.
Please
also
update
members
of
council
on
strategies
to
mitigate
and
streamline
ongoing
construction
activities
at
their
existing
site
to

that
residents
are

return
to
the
building
