FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
16 July, 2026 | OTTAWA | UNCEDED, UNSURRENDERED TRADITIONAL TERRITORY OF THE ALGONQUIN ANISHINAABEG
Ecology Ottawa today launched its initiative to promote ecology in the 2026 municipal election. Like all Ontarians, Ottawans elect a new City Council and mayor on October 26, and as candidates knock on doors, attend events, and hold town halls, Ecology Ottawa is working to advance ecological issues.
Ecology Ottawa attended City Council’s Environment and Climate Committee on Tuesday, June 16 to delegate on the City’s second Solid Waste Master Plan Update. Two years after the plan’s approval, the City is making meaningful progress on waste diversion, learning about and supporting community-led efforts. Much remains to be done, however, to encourage a zero-waste culture and cultivate a circular economy.
Ecology Ottawa today proudly launched its 2026 Trees for Today program, an initiative designed to complement their long-standing and beloved native tree seedling giveaway program. Ecology Ottawa is building on its longstanding commitment to increasing tree cover in low‑canopy and equity‑deserving neighbourhoods across Ottawa.
