B
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I'm,
happy
to
introduce
Diana,
sharp
she's,
a
resident
of
Canada
north,
and
she
came
to
my
rescue
yesterday
when
I
found
that
you
do
a
snow
dame
they
exam
that
the
student
who
was
going
to
sing
was
supposed
to
write
yesterday
is
now
this
morning
and
Diana
is
actually
her
teacher,
which
has
made
it
a
very
nice
connection.
B
She
returned
to
Ottawa
three
years
ago
and
now
enjoys
teaching
a
wide
range
of
singers
from
all
ages
and
musical
styles
at
her
studio
in
Canada,
and
she
will
be
obvious
letting
you
know
more
about
the
cultural
fest
we're
going
to
be
doing
in
Kanata
for
2017,
and
she
will
be
one
of
the
singers
that
will
participate
in
that
she's
honored
to
sing
at
City
Hall.
This
morning,
Anna.
A
Well,
thank
you
very
very
much
for
that
beautiful
rendition
of
our
nation's
anthem.
At
this

in
the

it
is
my
pleasure
to
call
upon
John

stories
and
made
them
more
meaningful
to
residents
over
the
years,
and
just

His

such
as
the
annual
Statesville
appreciation
awards
run
by
councillor
Qadri
or
the
4-h
livestock

Many
residents
are
proud
to
have
had
john
feature,
their
family
members
or
friends
in
the
Statesville
newspaper,
and
when
people
in
the
community

able
to
share
local
achievements,
it
brings
the
community
closer
together.
John
is
also
a
great
supporter
of
the
Goulburn
Skating
Club
and
was
recognized
for
his
community
work
when

in
2013
he
received
the
senior

of
the

his
contributions
to
the
community
of
Statesville.
John

it's
a

Congratulations.
C
C
The
pride
of
our
life
is
here
today.
Our
daughter,
Deborah
and
Deborah
is
a
nurse
and
I
hesitate
because
I'm
always
impressed
and
amazed
when
I
say
this.
She
is
a
nurse
that
there
were
a
lot
of
whoa
and
she
really
does
a
tremendous
job,
and
so
it's
so
much
appreciated
by
her
mother
and
I
I've
had
so
many
great
years
in
this
job
and
with
so
many
of
the
people
around
this
room
around
this
table.
So
many
of
the
counselors
I.
Thank
you
for
those
wonderful
memories.
C
C
But
I
can
truly
say
and
I've
said
this
outside
this
room,
I
have
had
a
wonderful
life,
and
so
much
of
it
is
because
of
so
many
of
you,
a
lot
of
the
people
who've
come
here
today
and
to
be
here
as
I
receive
this
award
6:30.
This
morning,
I
was
listening
to
Henry
Burris,
be
interviewed
on
the
radio,
and
he
commented
about
Ottawa
as
a
city
and
that
as
a
city
he
found
it
was
more
of
a
big
community.
C
C
C
A
A
A
A
You
recognize
him
from
various
City
events,
city,
council
meetings,
special
events
and
ceremonies,
always
capturing
great
shots.
Rogers
first
job
with
the
city
was
taking
photos
for
what
was
then
known
as
the
planning
department
from
there.
His
job
expanded
to
taking
photos
for
the
whole
organization
and
his
work
is
truly
exceptional
affair
and
provide
exceptional,
truly.
A
3
Roger
has
taken
about
300,000
digital
pictures.
That's
a
lot
of
photos
of
politicians.
Let
me
tell
you
I,
understand
that
Roger
plans
to
keep
himself
busy
during
his
retirement
with
activities
like
house
projects,
traveling
physical
fitness
to
name
a
few
I
know
Roger
will
be
deeply
missed
by
his
colleagues,
not
only
in
public
information
and
media
relations,
but
by
all
of
us
in
the
entire
organization.
I
think
I
can
speak
for
all
members
of
council.
They
very
much
appreciate
it.
A
B
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mirror
I
was
joking
with.
If
you
stopped
the
other
day
when
we
were
planning
this
for
Roger
that
I'd
love
to
get
a
hold
of
a
secret
stash
of
photos
that
he
has
of
all
the
outtakes
of
everybody
and
must
be
incredible
and
one
day
they'll
be
released
to
the
Ottawa
Sun
and
we're
lobbying
on
a
personal
note,
Roger
the
one
thing
yeah
Matthew
I,
see
the
media's
so
excited
his
their
new
best
friend
Roger
has
always
been
there
for
us.
D
The
one
thing
I've
you
know,
I
mean
a
lot
of
events
too,
not
as
many
as
the
mayor
and
council.
Obviously,
but
but
roger
has
always
been
there
when
you
wouldn't
expect
someone
to
be
there
to
take
the
photos,
and
I
think
that's
something
that
that
we
all
recognized
about
him-
he's
taken
over
300,000
photos,
as
the
mayor
has
has
said,
but
he's
really
created
a
time
capsule
of
images
that
could
give
anyone
a
history
lesson
of
the
City
of
Ottawa.
D
It
really
is
I,
always
joke
I
say
every
time
he
takes
a
picture,
it's
going
to
go
to
the
archives
and
it
will
generations
from
now
we'll
be
looking
at
his
photographs
and
trying
to
understand
the
context
of
what
we
were
living
and
what
we
were
doing.
He's
captured
nine
terms
of
counsel
for
you,
four
of
which
were
pre
samsa,
four
of
which
are
pre
amalgamation.
D
Five,
their
post
amalgamation,
thousands
of
internal
external
events
from
branch
recognition,
events
visits
to
the
prime
from
the
prime
minister,
premiers
and
dignitaries
hundreds
of
magnificent
moments
in
people's
lives,
including
Awards
of
special
recognition.
Thousands
of
announcements
and
ribbon-cutting
is
marking
significant
city
milestones,
hundreds
of
iconic
shots
of
the
city
that
we
love
beautiful
shots
of
the
city
where
we
work
and
play
and
live
he's
also
caught
our
staff.
Many
pictures
of
our
staff
hard
at
work,
seeing
them
every
day.
D
D
All
the
way
through
he's
worked
with
thousands
of
city
staff
and
witnessed
firsthand
I
think
some
of
some
of
the
most
memorable
moments,
our
staff
and
her
community
nerve
councils
have
had
and
he's
captured
them
for
everyone
to
enjoy
for
years
to
come
so
Roger
on
behalf
of
the
senior
leadership
team.
On
behalf
of
all
the
management,
the
staff,
this
organization,
you've
been
part
of
their
lives,
but
thank
you
for
their
profession,
your
professionalism,
commitment
and
dedication
to
your
art
over
27
years.
We're
really
going
to
miss
you.
Thank
you.
A
B
B
A
Well
good
morning
and
happy
New
Year
a
bowl,
a
banana,
a
tus
I'm
honored
to
deliver
my
six
state
of
the
city
address
today.
I
want
to
reflect
on
the
progress
we
have
made
together
over
the
last
year.
My
2016
State
of
the
City
address
focused
on
collaboration
last
year
was
an
important
year
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
Not
only
was
it
filled
with
planning
and
preparations
for
2017.
It
was
also
a
year
of
measured
and
steady
achievement
from
balancing
our
budget
and
maintaining
our
tax
commitment
to
residents.
A
Our
first
trade
mission
to
India
that
led
to
the
announcement
of
a
series
of
new
technological
and
creative
partnerships
with
an
estimated
value
of
over
80
million
dollars
in
contracts
that
will
benefit
Ottawa
companies
and
their
Indian
counterparts.
We
also
invested
eighteen
point:
seven
million
dollars
to
repair
existing
social
housing
to
enhance
living
conditions
for
of
our
most
vulnerable
residents
and
last
fall.
A
The
inaugural
mayor's
gala
for
the
arts
raise
$75,000
for
the
Ottawa
art
gallery
expansion
and
the
Arts
Court
redevelopment
project,
which
opens
its
doors
this
year,
I'm
pleased
to
announce
that
the
mayor's
gala
for
the
Arts
will
be
held
on
a
biannual
basis
and
the
next
event
occurring
in
the
spring
of
2018
I
have
every
confidence
that
it
will
develop
into
ottawa's.
Premier
gala,
in
support
of
our
local
arts.
Community
just
be
filled
and
I'll
say:
can
depression
Gala
be
any
I'm.
A
The
conversion
of
58,000
street
lights
to
LED
technology,
saving,
six
million
dollars
annually.
We've
also
have
some
of
the
highest
ranked
drinking
water
in
the
world.
We
installed
eight
large
solar
rooftops
on
municipal
buildings,
in
partnership
with
energy
Ottawa,
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
41
thousand
metric
tons
over
20
years.
A
Construction
also
began
on
the
combined
sewage
sewage
storage
tunnel
to
protect
the
environment,
prevent
floods
and
ensure
future
generations
can
enjoy
swimming
and
boating
and
fishing
in
the
Ottawa
River,
and
any
list
of
accomplishments
would
not
be
complete
without
mentioning
that
Ottawa
was
named
by
the
mercer
2016
quality
of
living
rankings
as
the
most
affordable
city
in
all
of
Canada
and
the
United
States
for
at
large
cities.
Ottawa
was
also
identified
as
a
top
technology
hub
in
North
America
with
strengths
in
digital
media,
wireless
technology,
photonics,
defense
and
cybersecurity,
and
data
analytics
as
a
city.
A
A
In
our
city,
people
want
to
visit
our
city
and
people
want
to
invest
in
our
city.
Let
me
take
a
few
moments
to
remind
everyone
what
we
are
celebrating
we
get
to
celebrate
as
a
city
in
2017,
because
we
live
in
a
great
country,
one
that
has
served
as
a
beacon
of
tolerance,
generosity
and
prosperity
for
generations
of
Ottawa
residents.
Events
are
about
more
than
having
fun.
They
remind
us
how
privileged
we
are
to
call
Ottawa
and
Canada
our
home.
A
It's
well
known
that
Ottawa
is
on
a
roll
and
that
we're
making
progress
on
a
number
of
important
city
building
fronts
from
citywide
LRT
to
the
rejuvenated
lands
down
to
our
new
Ottawa
Art
Gallery
and
redeveloped
Arts
Court
to
the
recently
opened
Innovation
Centre.
This
progress
in
large
part
stems
from
the
collaborative
efforts
we
have
seen
from
all
tiers
of
government
investing
in
Ottawa
and
from
the
vitality
of
our
local
business
and
community
organisations.
Doing
the
same
Ottawa
is
a
growing
and
thriving
City

A
Are
confidently
putting
more
of
their
dollars
in
our
city,
and
the
proof
of
that
is
all
around
us
from
Bayshore
to
the

Haven,
Statesville
Orleans
and
Riverside
self
Auto
is
expected
to
be
home
to
over
1
million
people
in
2019.
Just
over
two
years.
From
now
by
2036,
our
city's
population
will
reach
more
than
1.2
million
residents,
I
hear
first
hand
from
visitors
and
residents
alike
how
much
they
love
visiting
and
living
in
our
city.
A
Just
a
few
months
ago,
money
sense
magazine
ranked
Ottawa
as
the
best
place
to
live
in
Canada
in
the
same
survey.
Ottawa
was
also
ranked
the
best
place
for
new
Canadians.
Ottawa
is
also
at
the
top
of
a
list
for
sustainable
cities,
cycle
friendly
cities
and
were
ranked
the
most
business-friendly
amongst
large
cities
with
the
most
stable
employment
in
all
of
Canada.
A
Our
employment
hotspots
contain
plenty
of
good-paying
government,
high-tech
and
service
jobs,
and
even
though
we
have
a
large
public
service
sector
anchoring
our
local
labor
market,
we're
also
fortunate
that
over
1,700
technology
companies
call
Ottawa
home.
So
why
am
I
talking
today
and
taking
time
to
brag
about
our
city,
because
2017
will
be
a
year
to
celebrate
Ottawa
earlier
this
month
the
New
York
Times
described
Canada
as
the
number
one
country
to
visit
in
2017
and
a
feature
and
had
a
feature
article,
but
the
wonderful
places
to
see
and
things
to
do.
A
During
a
weekend
spent
in
Ottawa,
Lonely
Planet
was
awarded
Canada
awarded
Canada
the
same
title
last
October
and
WestJet
named
Ottawa.
The
number
one
place
to
visit
in
the
world
in
2017.
Some
will
remember
2017
as
a
year
of
celebrations
marked
by
great
events.
2017
is
also
an
opportunity
to
reimagine
Ottawa
to
see
how
we
have
changed
and
to
demonstrate
how
much
Ottawa
has
to
offer

Over

visitors
over

next
12
months,
it
is
the
way
in
which
we
deliver
service
to
residents
and
visitors
alike.
That
makes
our
city
truly
great.
Some
of
you
may
think
that
being
a
good
host
is
a
modest
goal
for
2017,
but
let
me
remind
you
that
it's
a

2017
will
be
a
year
of
legacy
for
the
nation's
capital,
with
many
new
facilities
and
projects
that
will
open
to
the
public
this
year.
Here
is
a
partial
overview
and
I
stress
the
word
partial,
because
so
much
is
taking
place
in
our
city
this
year
of
how
Ottawa
will
change
for
the
better
in
2017,
including
public
and
private
partners.

be
revitalized
as
the
centerpiece
of
the
new
cultural
precinct,
the
renovated
Canadian,
Science

Technology
Museum
will
reopen
in
the
east.
The
Innovation
Center
at
Bayview
Yards
will
open
officially
and
serve
as
an
incubation
of
innovation.
A
Later
this
spring
and
the
new
currency
museum,
which
will
be
called
the
Bank
of
Canada
Museum,
will
open
in
July
of
this
year.
Many
of
these
new
or
newly
renovated
facilities
will
become
landmarks,
they'll
become
places
that
tourists
have
to
visit,
and
there
are
all
great
examples
of
what
can
be
achieved
when
we
work
together
to
prove
oh,
no,
fair
ii,
don't

what.

of
the

team.
Have
you
ever
been
to
a
foreign
city,
for
instance,
struggling
to
find
a
street
or
a
building?
We
all
need
to
be
more
than
tourism
ambassadors
this
year
and
in
the
years
to
come.
We
need
to
communicate
our
city's
values
to
everyone.
We
meet.
Our
warmth
and
approach
will
communicate
those
values.
A
Many
visitors
will
want
to
see

stop
at
the
Museum
of
Nature
drop
in
at
Landsdowne

or
skate
on
the

also

Our

is

confidence

your

be

A
Communities
is
changing
and
we
are
working
with
our
police
services
to
address
these
challenges.
We
have
seen
an
increase
in
violent
crime
and
an
increased
readiness
last
year
to
use
knives
and
guns
to
solve
conflicts.
Like
many
of
you,
I
agree
that
any
increase
in
crime
is
a
flag
for
concern
and
renewed
effort.
I
can
assure
you
that
we
are
ready
for
2017.
I
am
confident
that
our
officers
of
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
under
the
leadership
of
chief
Charles,
Barlow
and
board
chair
Eli
L
shan't
Erie,
are
working
hard
to
keep
Ottawa
safe.
A
A
With
from
a
resident
recently
recently,
this
is
just
one
example
of
an
Ottawa
constable
that
went
beyond
the
call
of
duty
to
serve
residents
quote
my
name
is
heather
and
last
night
I
was
waiting
for
the
bus
cross
from
Tunney's
pasture,
although
I
was
bundled
against
the
cold.
I
became
hypothermic.
I
had
been
waiting
for
the
bus
for
half
an
hour
and
was
getting
cramps
in
my
legs
because
of
the
cold
and
my
feet
felt
like
they
were
becoming
frostbitten
I.
Couldn't
stop
shaking
one
of
your
officers.
Watched
me
and
realized.
I
was
in
trouble.
A
He
parked
his
marked
SUV
and
approached
me
and
asked
where
I
was
going
when
I
told
him
he
said
he
would
take
me
home.
He
loaded
the
walker
I
was
using
because
I
have
some
because
of
some
of
my
disabilities
into
the
SUV
and
drove
me
home.
I
would
very
much
like
to
thank
my
hero
for
what
he
did
in
all
of
the
circumstances.
I
neglected
to
ask
his
name,
please.
If
you
could
supply
his
name,
I
would
be
truly
grateful.
He
truly
saved
my
life
by
going
above
and
beyond
the
call
of
duty.
A
It's
unlikely
that
you
would
ever
hear
about
constable
Ian
Kemp
in
the
news,
or
that
he
would
receive
an
award
for
his
actions,
but
I
chose
to
highlight
this
example
today
as
the
type
of
action
that
our
men
and
women
in
uniform
take
on
a
daily
basis
to
build
these
bonds
of
trust.
I'd
asked
the
constable
ian
kemp
stand
up
and
be
recognized
today.
A
A
Paramedics
are
also
active
members
of
the
community
in
which
they
serve,
for
example,
paramedics,
michelle
Faragher,
jonathan
sylvester,
matthew,
Demonte
and
deanna
Schofield
volunteered
their
time
to
staff
an
ambulance
so
that
a
palliative
care
patient
at
CHEO
could
attend.
This
year's
Christmas
parade
in
Orleans
for
most
a
ride
in
an
ambulance
usually
means
going
to
the
doctor
or
the
hospital,
but
this
time
was
different
for
a
child
who
instead
got
the
chance
to
partake
in
the
joy
of
the
holiday
season
under
medical
supervision.
A
A
Last
year,
council
also
made
important
investments
to
add
more
paramedics
and
emergency
response
vehicles.
I'd
also
like
to
recognize
the
exemplary
work
of
Ottawa
Fire
Services,
whose
members
also
consistently
face
danger
on
a
daily
basis.
Recently,
a
resident
was
seriously
injured
while
doing
maintenance
at
their
home
in
Corkery.
In
response
firefighters
from
station
84
volunteered
their
time
to
demolish
the
deck,
so
a
wheelchair
ramp
could
be
installed,
but
these
volunteers
knew
even
more
could
be
done
and
the
station
proceeded
to
host
a
pancake
breakfast
raising
$2,000
for
the
family.
A
Since
then,
the
firefighters
continue
to
visit
the
family
from
time
to
time.
These
actions
supported
the
family
during
a
difficult
time
and
reflect
the
dedication
of
the
fire
service
to
our
residents
and
to
the
generosity
of
our
entire
community.
Today
we
have
left
10
and
Scott
Murphy
and
Stephen
Logan
here
representing
station
84
and
I,
ask
that
they
be
rec
to
stand
up
to
be
recognized.
A
Together
with
our
first
responders,
we
are
standing
by
each
other
to
make
our
city
even
safer.
An
increase
in
visitors
can
sometimes
lead
to
an
increase
in
big
city
challenges.
Many
of
you
have
heard
about
an
increase
in
the
number
of
opioid
overdose
in
Canada
in
various
cities.
I
want
to
reassure
you
that,
for
over
two
years,
Ottawa
Public
Health
has
been
leading
the
overdose
task
force,
which
includes
our
paramedic
service,
the
coroner's
office,
pharmacies,
police
and
local
hospital
emergency
rooms
on
overdose
prevention.
A
In
Ottawa,
we've
been
monitoring
developments
across
the
country
and
have
confidence
that,
thanks
to
the
their
public
awareness
efforts
and
leadership,
the
overdose
task
force,
our
health
department,
along
with
its
community
partners,
are
actively
engaged
to
address
the
situation
locally.
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
that
the
Health
Board
Chair
councilor
cadre
and
dr.
Israeli
be
the
chief
medical
officer
of
health
for
their
dedication
to
this
issue.
The
city
is
not
only
preparing
for
an
increase
in
visitors
in
2017,
we're
also
preparing
for
a
change
in
demographics.
A
Our
aging
population
will
be
a
significant
story
in
2017
with
the
share
of
the
population.
That
is
65
and
over
expected
to
increase
from
about
13
percent
in
2011
to
over
21
percent
in
2036.
This
demographic
shift
is
playing
a
key
role
in
the
city's
commitment
to
intensification
and
to
making
our
transit
system
and
public
infrastructure
fully
accessible
again
this
year,
we'll
be
investing
to
create
an
age-friendly
ottawa
through
the
city's
older
adult
plan.

Ottawa
Ottawa
will
also
welcome
over
6,000
new
permanent
residents.
This
year
last
year,
Ottawa
welcomed
2,000
Syrian
refugees,
hundreds
of
immigrants
from
other
countries
and
hosted
over
8,500
international
students,
of
which
approximately
3,000
new
students
arrive
annually.
A
I
want
to
thank
councillor,
Michael
caucus
special
liaison
for
refugee
resettlement
for
his
important
work
with
this
community
and
to
the
residents
who
stepped
up
to
welcome
newcomers
from
Syria
through
refugee
six,
one
three
and
through
other
private
initiatives,
including
our
wonderful
faith-based
communities.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
representing
Ottawa
spirit
of
generosity.
A
It's
with
the
same
spirit
of
generosity
that
led
to
the
tremendous
success
of
our
Ottawa
for
Fort
McMurray
fundraiser,
in
which
over
750
residents
and
countless
businesses
took
part
in
the
event
that
raised
over
a
hundred
and
twenty
eight
thousand
dollars
for
the
families
of
Fort
McMurray
I
want
to
thank
Ottawa
Senators
alumni,
Chris
Philips
for
co-hosting.
The
event
with
me.
Chris,
as
you
know,
comes
from

B
Inclusive,
open
and
bilingual
city
includes
our
vibrant
francophone
community
I'm,
proud
to
say
that
the
services
we
offer
our
francophone
residents
have
steadily
improved
in
the
last
few
years.
The
most
recent
data
indicates
that
26
percent
increase
in
the
number
of
programs
offered
by
our
parks,
recreation
and
cultural
services.
Since
2010,
the
number
of
registrations
to
these
programs
is
also
up
by
more
than
eleven
percent.
During
the
same
period.
B
This
reduction
in
the
number
of
complaints
speaks
to
the
city's
commitment
to
improving
the
quality
of
services
offered
to
our
francophone
residents.
In
a
few
months,
I
will
be
hosting
the
11th
annual
francophone
breakfast
at
City
Hall,
which
will
once
again
provide
an
opportunity
for
City
and
francophone
leaders
to
come
together
in
a
community
and
highlight
the
city
francophone
accomplishment
also.
A
Therefore,
as
we
celebrate
the
founding
of
our
nation,
my
hope
is
that
we
will
continue
to
take
steps
towards
reconciliation,
so
that
2017
can
be
a
year
of
healing
growth
and
celebration
for
all
our
citizens.
Towards
that
end,
the
city
will
be
holding
an
Aboriginal
awareness
day
in
June,
a
particular
passion
of
mine
has
been
making
City
Hall
a
people
place
and
I'm
happy
to
say
that
we've
had
some
success
on
that
front.
A
When
I
see
Ottawa
residents
and
tourists
enjoy
the
Sens
rink
of
dreams
visit
the
Barbara
and
Scott
gallery
or
the
Sports
Hall
of
Fame.
It
reminds
me
of
a
very
simple
fact
that
City
Hall
actually
belongs
to
the
people.
Why
is
this
important?
Ensuring
City
Hall
as
a
people
place
makes
people
feel
included
and
involved.
It
makes
them
feel
more
closely
connected
with
their
city,
government
and
making
city
hall.
A
people
place
is
just
a
small
example
of
our
larger
commitment
to
welcoming
the
world
to
Ottawa.
A
A
155
million
dollars

the

to
our
city's
transit,
an
active
transportation
network
which
are
important
areas
of
focus
for
residents
and
I
want
to
thank
Minister,
Catherine
McKenna
for
her
involvement
with
this
announcement.
A
This
funding
includes
over
65
million
dollars
towards
preliminary
engineering
and
other
planning
activities
that
have
helped
keep
the
city's
stage-two
LRT
project
on
schedule
and
help
to
ensure
that
we'll
have
additional
vehicles
to
manage
ridership
growth
over
the
next.
Several
years,
this
past
June
in
councilor,
Manette's
Ward,
the
province
of
Ontario,
announced
an
historical
investment
of
1.16
billion
dollars
towards
stage
2
expansion
of
LRT.
This
represents
the
largest
provincial
transit
investment
in
our
history.
In
February,
council
will
be
hearing
more
details
on
the
stage
2
project
I'm.
A
Looking
forward
to
discussing
this
issue
with
my
colleagues
and
the
public,
so
we
can
move
ahead
with
the
procurement
of
the
next
phase
of
LRT.
Ottawa
will
be,
in
fact,
be
the
only
city
in
Canada
where
a
new
LRT
line
is
being
commissioned
for
Revenue
Service,
at
the
same
time
as
its
extensions
will
go
under
construction,
we're
not
merely
shovel-ready.
We
are
building
now
and
we
are
fully
mobilized
and
we
have
a
clear
plan
to
continue
to
advance
our
environmentally
friendly
and
affordable
transportation
agenda.
Once
fully
operational.
A
B
A
City's
old
train
system
opens
for
revenue
service
in
2023.
Approximately
70
percent
of
the
population
will
be
within
5
kilometers
of
rail,
while
on
the
subject
of
our
new
LRT
system,
I'm
pleased
to
announce
that,
following
the
success
of
the
school
competition
to
name
our
road
headers,
we'll
be
having
a
competition
in
our
local
schools
to
name
Ottawa's
LRT
engines
on
the
new
line.
Information
will
be
sent
to
councillors
in
your
schools
in
the
fall
of
this
year,
and
winners
will
be
announced
in
the
spring
of
2018.
I.
A
Look
forward
to
seeing
our
creative
young
minds
come
up
with
some
inspiring
and
exciting
new
names
and
I've
asked
councillors
bleh
and
a
glide
to
coordinate
this
activity.
Ottawa's
LRT
will
also
change
our
land-use
planning
to
promote
more
density,
around
LRT
stations,
unhappy
to
say
that
our
intensification
strategy
for
residential
developments
is
working
very
well.
There
were
about
4,700
housing
starts
last
year
and
of
those
a
record.
58
percent
of
new
housing
in
urban
and
suburban
areas
was
developed
through
intensification.
A
New
housing
built
in
intensification
target
areas
such
as
rapid
transit
stations,
the
central
area
and
main
streets
accounted
for
a
record
41%
of
these
new
units.
The
city
is
also
committed
to
transit,
oriented
development,
for
example,
in
just
the
properties
around
herdmen,
Lee's
Tremblay,
say
Lara
serval
and
Blair
stations
alone.
There
is
potential
for
more
than
30,000
apartments
and
houses
to
be
built,
along
with
commercial
and
retail
opportunities
to
provide
these
communities
with
better
jobs.
A
Real
estate
investment
trust
has
long-term
plans
for
several
major
buildings
at
Blair
station
that
will
capitalize
on
light
rail
success.
New
buildings
are
also
being
planned
for
the
Preston
Carling
area
next
to
the
trillium
line.
These
include
the
Sir
John
Carling,
building
site
of
the
new
home
for
the
Ottawa
Civic
Hospital
campus
and
Trinity
Development
is
proposing
a
major
development
at
900,
Albert
Street
with
three
mixed-use
towers.
All
steps
away
from
the
Bayview
LRT
station
as
the
future
development
of
lebreton
flats
will
create
a
large
new
neighborhood
at
the
heart
of
our
light
rail
system.
A
This
development
includes
a
1600
unit,
5
tower
complex,
aimed
at
mixed
housing,
mixed
income,
households
by
Claridge,
and
also
a
grocery
store
to
serve
the
downtown
in
2017,
a
number
of
new,
affordable
and
supportive
housing
developments
will
be
officially
open
to
coincide
with
the
sesquicentennial.
These
include
455
via
Verona
and
bar
Haven,
a
98
unit,
affordable
housing
community
for
families,
55
to
59,
Carothers
Avenue,
a
36
units,
supportive
housing
program
for
individuals
who
experience
chronic
homelessness
and
1900
st.
Joseph's
Boulevard
in
Orleans,
a
48
unit,
supportive
housing
program
for
individuals
who
experience
chronic
homelessness.
A
I
want
to
thank
councillor
Mark
Taylor,
our
special
liaison
on
housing
and
homelessness
for
his
great
work
on
these
issues
next
month.
We'll
continue
the
dialogue
on
the
proposed
site
for
the
new
Central
Library
and
councillor
McKinney's
Ward
come
please
yell.
D'entre
vous,
sur
Kwok
is
says:
Eden
MoMA
in
Patong,
Donna
Devon.
A
Library,
chair,
Tim
Tierney,
have
been
working
hard
to
ensure
that
the
new
Central
Library
will
be
a
resounding
success.
I'm
of
the
view
like
Lansdowne,
our
new
Central
Library,
will
be
very
important.
Citywide
people
place
one
that
residents
from
Fitzroy
Harbor,
Statesville,
Vanier,
Cumberland,
Beacon,
Hill,
Center,
town
and
Dalhousie
will
come
to
enjoy.
The
city
will
be
challenged
this
year
to
guide
the
development
of
new
suburbs
and
the
gradual
evolution
of
existing
ones
in
a
way
that
maintains
their
residential
attributes.
A
As
existing
suburbs
mature,
these
areas
have
seen
an
increase
in
density
and
greater
diversity
of
demographics.
One
initiative
that
will
gain
moment.
Momentum
in
2017
is
building
better
and
smarter
suburbs
initiative
led
by
councillors,
harder
and
hubely.
This
initiative
is
a
practical
example
of
how
we
can
enhance
our
suburbs
for
future
generations
by
making
these
communities
more
land
efficient,
affordable,
more
livable
and
more
cost
effective
to
build
and
maintain.
A
As
many
of
you
know,
I
created
the
Heritage
Matters
task
force
last
fall
and
which
I
served
with
the
chair
of
Planning
Committee
councillor
harder
and
built
heritage
subcommittee,
chair,
Toby
Nussbaum.
This
collaborative
group
composed
of
heritage,
community
leaders
and
staff
from
across
the
corporation
was
formed
to
help
ensure
that
future
generations
enjoy
our
rich
architectural
heritage
and
to
reduce
the
instances
of
demolition
by
neglect.
A
Today,
I'm
announcing
the
first
major
initiative
that
has
come
out
of
our
work,
the
creation
of
a
team
to
proactively
ensure
our
vacant
heritage,
buildings,
meet
property
and
building
standards
and
to
support
heritage
conservation
by
working
with
property
owners.
So
they're,
aware
of
consulting
resources
and
city
programs
available
to
support
heritage
conservation,
it's
my
hope
that
these
efforts
will
prevent
any
further
demolition
by
neglect.
This
team
is
already
on
the
ground
visiting
identified
buildings
to
examine
building
conditions
and
categorize
key
heritage
attributes.
A
Following
the
initial
inspections,
formal
actions
will
be
pursued
to
ensure
property
standards,
compliance
to
better
preserve
heritage
elements
of
existing
properties.
Ottawa
also
recognizes
the
importance
of
maintaining
natural
landscapes
for
the
protection
of
the
environment,
water
protection
and
adaptation
to
climate
change.
In
2017
we
will
complete
the
urban
forest
management
plan
that
will
provide
a
long-term
vision
for
the
urban
forest
and
ensure
that
it
is
healthy
and
robust
for
the
years
to
come
this
year.
A
A
There
are
so
many
reasons
for
optimism
in
2017,
The
Conference
Board
of
Canada,
for
instance,
predicts
that
in
2017,
Ottawa
Gatineau
will
post
better
economic
growth
than
Canada's
for
the
first
time
since
2011
in
2016,
the
federal
government
and
its
agencies
employed
an
average
of
130
thousand
eight
hundred
individuals
in
the
capital
region.
That's
up
from
one
hundred
and
twenty
seven
thousand
three
hundred
a
year
earlier,
high-tech
employment,
average,
68
thousand
and
2016.
This
makes
the
capital
region
the
most
technology-intensive
of
Canada's
major
cities.
A
Ottawa's
tech
sector
has
grown
in
part
due
to
the
breakout
of
such
firms
as
Shopify,
which
makes
electronic
software
for
online
merchants
around
the
world.
Shopify
employed
1,750
at
the
end
of
September,
more
than
one-third
of
them
based
in
Ottawa
and
just
last
month
in
a
major
employee
survey,
Ottawa
Shopify
was
ranked
the
best
place
to
work
in
Canada

A
Applications
for
managing
corporate
supply
chains
and
his
experience
steady
growth
over
the
last
year,
another
solid
member
of
Ottawa's
tech
cluster
is
siena,
an
optical
networking
specialist
that
will
put
the
finishing
touches
this
year
on
a
major
new
campus
in
Kanata
north
with
over
1600
employees.
Our
city's
lengthy
history
and
telecommunications
is
helping
to
turn
the
innovation
turn
the
innovation
industry
spotlight
towards
Ottawa
once
again,
the
5g
technology.
Innovation
is
largely
thanks
to
advancements
made
by
technological
minds
right
here
in
the
nation's
capital.
A
The
5g
cellular
networks
are
expected
to
allow
for
far
better
coverage,
reliability
and
speeds
that
are
currently
available.
Ottawa
is
now
home
to
Ericsson,
Avaya,
Nokia,
alcatel-lucent,
Huawei
and
Siena.
All
key
players
in
the
upcoming
5
G's
cellular
revolution,
Nokia
and
Ericsson
for
since
collectively
employ
more
than
three
thousand
people
locally
and
in
September
Chinese
Cellular
giant
Huawei
announced
five
hundred
million
dollar
commitment
over
the
next
five
years
to
bolster
research
and
development
of
5g
cellular
technologies
in
Canada.
A
They
already
employ
over
500
people
in
their
Kannada
offices,
and
we
can
expect
to
see
this
number
grow
as
the
results
of
these
new
investments
Ericsson.
For
instance,
hired
900
former
Nortel
employees
and
is
now
in
the
process
of
setting
up
a
45
thousand
square
foot
office
building
in
Canada
that
will
employ
1,000
people
locally
and
just
last
week,
a
pair
of
promising
Ottawa
technology
startups
announced
an
influx
of
18
million
dollars
to
expand
staff
and
refine
their
products.
A
In
Ottawa,
Clearwater
clinical
Limited
announced
a
total
of
6
million
dollars
to
double
its
staffing
over
the
next
two
years.
The
company's
first
commercial
success
was
the
dizzy
fix
a
device
and
application
that
helps
patients
to
recover
from
vertigo.
Also
earlier
this
year,
Ottawa's
clip
folio
announced
a
new
12
million
dollar
investment
to
help
expand
businesses
and
to
hire
new
staff.
A
Clip
folio
is
an
Ottawa
company
that
makes
software
to
allow
companies
to
monitor
sales,
handle
shipping
and
inventory
issues
and
manage
their
business
information
and
in
blackberry
qnx,
who
recently
announced
the
100
million
dollar
investment
and
650
new
jobs
in
Ottawa.
It's
no
wonder
that
Apple
is
responding
and
has
set
up
an
office
in
Ottawa
to
lead
the
charge
on
autonomous
vehicles.
The
mix
of
technology
being
created
in
Ottawa,
coupled
with
the
proximity
of
major
auto
manufacturers
in
the
Greater
Toronto
Area,
is
setting
up
Ottawa
for
a
promising
year.
A
That
is
why,
in
a
few
weeks,
I'll
lead
a
mission
to
Queen's
Park
to
showcase
the
great
work
that
is
currently
being
done
in
Ottawa
and
explore
how
we
can
leverage
our
local
high-tech
sector
to
develop
5g
in
support
of
a
sophisticated
autonomous
vehicle
industry
in
Ontario
I'm.
Pleased
to
announce
that
sir
Terry
Matthews,
who
is
a
champion
of
technology
in
our
city,
will
be
co-chairing
the
delegation
with
me
on
this
undertaking.
A
We
often
find
ourselves
in
the
shadow
of
Toronto
and
Waterloo
who
have
Mars
and
Communitech
as
their
innovation
hubs,
but
our
strength
is
highlighted
in
our
new
Innovation
Center
in
the
talent
we
are
able
to
attract
here
in
the
patents
that
we
keep
getting
registered
in
Ottawa
and
in
the
venture
capital.
Our
local
companies
keep
attracting
surpassing
other
Canadian
cities
on
all
of
these
fronts.
A
Ottawa
is
where
a
growing
share
of
strategic
technological
investments
are
being
made
and
should
be
made,
and
we
are
going
to
promote
that
reality
proudly
and
this
optimism
is
not
limited
to
the
technology
center
The
Conference
Board
of
Canada
also
predicts
that
in
the
construction
sector,
in
Ottawa,
Gatineau
will
employ
an
average
of
42,000
people
this
year
and
next
about
13
percent
higher
than
in
2016.
We
also
need
to
support
small
businesses
through
a
new
attitude
towards
this
important
economic
engine.
A
I
want
to
thank
councillor,
Allen
hubely
for
the
work
that
he
did
on
the
innovation
pilot
project
that
has
seen
borne
fruit
on
a
number
of
very
exciting
projects.
Invest
Ottawa
recently
moved
to
their
new
beautiful
home
in
the
Innovation
Centre
at
Bayview
yards
and
councillor,
leapers
ward,
at
the
intersection
of
the
Trillium
and
Confederation
lines,
the
Innovation
Centre
will
be
our
city's
hub
for
creators,
dreamers,
inventors
and
entrepreneurs
a
place
where
great
ideas
will
become
even
better
businesses.
A
A
Opportunity,
jobs
not
just
in
the
central
core,
but
also
supporting
small
businesses
in
rural
and
suburban
areas
of
Ottawa
2017,
will
also
see
major
advances
in
a
number
of
large
city
building
developments
like
ZB
and
lebreton
flats.
These
projects
have
the
potential
to
become
unique
and
dynamic
places
within
the
core
of
the
city,
creating
a
bridge
between
the
downtown's
of
Ottawa
and
Gatineau
and
creating
new
river
fronts
that
have
not
been
accessible
for
generations
this
year.
A
The
vision
of
the
former
rock
cliff
airbase
will
also
move
ahead
to
create
a
complete
mixed-use
community
in
the
East
End
that
is
walkable,
cycling,
supportive
and
transit
oriented
the
former
rock
cliff
airbase
is
one
of
the
last
remaining
significant
redevelopment
sites
in
the
inner
urban
part
of
the
city
and
will
be
the
single
largest
development
within
the
green
belt.
Since
amalgamation,
it
will
result
in
the
construction
of
homes
for
approximately
10,000
residents
and
provide
2,600
jobs.
As
you
can
see
from
all
of
these
examples,
Ottawa
really
is
booming.
A
To
visit
or
move
to,
Ottawa
we'll
see
an
inclusive
and
optimistic
City
with
an
open
attitude
that
sets
us
apart.
I
want
to
thank
my
council
colleagues
for
their
work
to
date,
but
I
won't
hide
the
hard
truth
from
you
in
2017
I
expect
we
will
be
asking
even
more
of
you.
I
believe
that
municipal
governments
that
work
together
can
be
the
incubator
for
creative
solutions
to
grow,
prosperity,
equity
and
sustainability,
and
our
city
means
we
have
to
get
transit
right.
A
That
is
why
we
introduced
the
new
equi
pass,
which
will
allow
a
greater
number
of
residents
to
participate
more
fully
in
our
city's
job
market
and
socioeconomic
life,
and
that
is
why
we
are
building
ottawa's
LRT
system.
Lrt
is
about
putting
people
first,
it's
about
committing
to
environmental
sustainability.
It's
about
creating
the
conditions
for
economic
prosperity.
A
Our
residents
will
continue
to
benefit
from
the
strong
partnerships
we
enjoy
with
our
employee
groups,
a
partnership
that
has
led
to
a
period
of
unprecedented
labor
peace
and
productivity
in
our
city's
recent
history.
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
you
for
your
work
over
the
last
year
and
to
convey
to
you
my
confidence
in
your
commitment
to
making
Ottawa
a
place
for
all
in
2017.
Some
of
you
have
heard
me
say
this
before,
but
it's
never
been
truer.
A
Ottawa
is
going
from
Ottawa
the
old
to
Ottawa
the
bold
right
from
the
kickoff
celebrations
that
occurred
on
New
Year's
Eve,
with
the
lighting
of
the
cauldron
at

many
exceptional
highlights
that

But
that
is
zoned.
Institutional
are
directed
to
the
citywide
reserve,
which
is
not
consistent
with
the
policies
goals
and
whereas
such
presidential
uses
of
land
zone
institutional
can
include
seniors
and
long-term
care
residents
and
group
homes
and
staff
has
advised
that
the
housing
first
policy
is
currently
under
review
and
including
a
provision
for
a
portion
of
the
sales
of
city
properties
for
these
uses
would
be
consistent
with
the
housing
first
policy
and
whereas
addressing
this
gap
in
the
housing
first
policy
will
increase
the
contributions
to
the
housing
reserve
fund
on
an
annual
basis.
E
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
city
direct
Housing
Services
staff
to
conduct
a
review
of
all
zones
that
could
be
included
in
their
upcoming.
A
report
to
refresh
the
city's
housing
first
policy,
mainly
to
include
a
provision
for
a
portion
of
the
sales
of
city
properties
that
are
zoned
institutional
and
will
be
used
for
residential
purposes
to
be
remitted
to
the
housing
reserve
fund
for
consideration
by
council
committee
and
council
at
that
time,
and
that
these
additional
funds
be
used
for
capital.
Mr.
E
mayor,
just
ever
so
briefly,
we
all
know
that
housing,
affordable
housing
in
our
city
is
a
is
a
high
priority.
This
motion
is
designed
to
ensure
that
we
get
some
extra
capital
dollars
into
our
capital
fund.
As
most
of
you
will
recall,
in
2015,
during
the
budget
we
agreed
to
remove
the
four
million
dollar
tribution
to
capital
was
intended
to
be
temporary,
but
it
has
not
been
put
back
and
so
I'm
looking
for
means
to
to
replenish
that
fund
and
get
some
very
important
capital
dollars.
I
think
this
is
one
Avenue.
