It’s great when buildings are repurposed.

This church in Sandy Hill was facing a decline. But it was saved by community stakeholders who re-purposed it into a community hub with a bakery, restaurant, and event space.

Though it wasn’t easy as it required tedious re-zoning. (1/3)

Kitchissippi is quickly evolving. Used car lots are being torn down to make way for massive developments. Single-storey buildings are being replaced by condos and apartments.  Here is a look at some development projects happening in the ward. #ottnews

Canadians need public transportation they can depend on. We need to have the proper infrastructure in place to allow Canadians to thrive.

I’m happy to have joined Chrystia Freeland and Olivia Chow for an announcement of the Canada Rental Protection Fund - helping non-profits and co-ops to buy existing apartment buildings, protect tenants and stabilize rents. Team Canada includes community housing.

The only thing more insulting than the East Side Mario's TV ads (as an Italian-Canadian) is that they think their food resembles anything like Italian food.

Ontario's 2024 Budget, 'Building a Better Ontario,' is out! Infrastructure, housing, and cost of living continue to be top of mind for the Ford government.

Our experts break down the budget in our latest brief, read it on our website ↓ strategycorp.com/2024/03/ontari…

.OC Transpo is projecting a $50 million deficit, laying off employees and suffering from low ridership. It needs support from #Ontario to get people riding again. Just like Doug Ford did for Toronto! #OttawaWantsIn #ottcity #onpoli #ottnews #ONBudget

Happy #IWD2024 . With the fed budget around the corner, it’s time to take stock. The announcement of free birth control last week was a definite win … but the all-out assault on trans rights reminds us of the scale of the challenge ahead. 🧵1/8 #canfem

Great story by CBC's Elyse Skura on the growing representation of women in the senior ranks of #Ottawa City Hall. I wrote about this subject six years ago, and am so heartened to see the progress! cbc.ca/news/canada/ot… #ottnews #ottpoli

ICYMI: Almost like old times being on CBC CBCOttawaMorning with Catherine McKenney and Hallie Cotnam to talk about civility - or lack thereof - in municipal politics and what needs to change. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra… #ottnews #ottpoli

In Ottawa, someone who owns a car has access to a multitude more jobs than someone who doesn’t.

Owning a car shouldn’t be a job requirement.

Better public transportation = better job opportunities. Plus the financial savings of not needing a car - which averages $16k annually!

For 5 years, advocates - backed by public support - have been demanding change. Will it happen in 2024? cbc.ca/news/canada/to… Women Of Ontario Say No #ottnews #onpoli

'With the track record of large IT projects with the government, it actually challenges public confidence in that agenda,” says ⁦Sahir Khan 🇨🇦⁩ of ⁦Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy⁩ #ottnews #ottpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

It is interesting that the councillors who are most 'outraged' by the reportedly voluntary developer donation to Captial ward are among the ones who accept the most developer donations during municipal elections. #ottnews

Voting for an MOU that would see a developer donate $300K to Capital ward and then calling for an IC investigation into that MOU less than a week later? That's a heck of a flip flop! cbc.ca/news/canada/ot… #ottnews

Guys I'm of course seeing all your posts about the paywall. I don't know what to tell you: it costs money to pay reporters and editors. 'Offer the stories people want to read for free and paywall others!' is not a business strategy. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Why did Doug Ford's government defeat a bill on sexual harassment? That's right, this is still not fixed. Why not?thestar.com/politics/provi… via @torontostar #ottnews #ottpoli

Just missed a quite-full LRT double-car train at Tunney’s. Another came in a couple of minutes. I could get used to this! Keep it up OC Transpo! #ottpoli #ottnews
