Latest Council News & Action Alerts
Upcoming Event:
On September 7th, Ecology Ottawa will be hosting a public event to honour councillors for their environmental commitment as well as to announce the release of our latest Council Watch Report.
As in year's past, this report will grade councillors and the mayor on their voting record as it pertains to key environmental votes. Our latest report will also provide an overview of how this current edition of City Council has performed on environmental issues over the past four years.
This latest report will present a clear snapshot of how our elected municipal leaders view environmental issues in this city. It will provide information that will be particularly relevant given that this is an election year and we hope encourage conversations about environmental issues in the City of Ottawa.

Council Report Cards
Every year we grade Ottawa's mayor and city councillor on their environmental performance. The report reviews key environmental decisions
made by council over the past year and assigns a grade to each council member based on the votes he or she cast.
Check out the report cards here.
Council members' grades from 2003 to 2009 can be seen here.
