“I will hold regular open town halls and make sure residents hear about decisions before they are made, not after. I will push for community advisory bodies with real influence, not just consultation for show. I will also make sure city information is accessible in plain language, in multiple languages, and in formats people can actually use. People should not need to be experts or have time to sit through six hour committee meetings to have a say. I will show up in the community, listen first, and report back on what happened.”

Part of the goal for this would also be to take Ottawa into a more ecologically conscious direction."
