Q4 - Will you commit to investing in energy efficient housing for lower income communities, and ensuring that the costs of retrofits are not passed down to tenants?

Brandon Russell

Yes.

Stuart MacKay

Yes. We have many Ottawa Community Housing (OCH) buildings that are aging and need to retrofitted. By prioritizing our oldest OCH buildings for retrofitting, especially those high-rise buildings where many residents are seniors, we can create healthier communities and cut down on energy costs. 

Ariel Troster

Yes. There are opportunities to fund these retrofits using funding from the Green Municipal Fund's Sustainable Affordable Housing program and our city is not tapping into this enough!
