Join us to build the People's Official Plan

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THE PEOPLE'S OFFICIAL PLAN THIRD WORKSHOP. THE REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED AS WE HAVE REACHED MAXIMUM CAPACITY. 

The People's Official Plan conveners are inviting you to participate in a workshop to discuss and build consensus on key goals that need to be in the final Official Plan. This will be one of our workshops focused on responding to the draft of the Official Plan, set to be shared by the City of Ottawa November 20th.

In bringing communities together since April 2019, the People's Official Plan has two common concerns. First, that the new Official Plan is not moving far enough and fast enough on the climate emergency. Second, that the City's consultation process is missing the opportunity to co-create this important public policy with people rather than for people. Read more about the People's Official Plan here. 

Registration will close on December 11th at 8am.
