4. How would you protect Ottawans, especially our most vulnerable residents, from the effects of climate change and extreme weather events (flooding, storms, wildfire smoke, extreme heat, etc.)?

Xavier Commerford

"I'm proud to be the first municipal candidate in this ward to support a city bylaw for the Right to Air Conditioning for tenants.

We need to implement air quality monitoring in every ward of the city.  We need to build climate mitigation infrastructure using Sponge City technologies - urban wetlands and permeable pavement.  We need a coordinated civil defense strategy - with a generator library, and designated disaster hubs in every ward; that include essential supplies.  We cannot rely solely on a patchwork of nonprofits to help out in a crisis.”
