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.)?

“I recently put in a motion to ask for an inventory of private drains to be undertaken. Private drains are in residents' backyards and service a number of homes. I believe the City needs to catalogue all these and ditches, and ensure proper maintenance and not leave it up to the resident. For extreme heat, I put forward a motion this year to develop an air conditioner program for low income individuals that is not dependent on a medical condition, and this was approved and implemented this year. These are small examples of the many things that need to be done, but I am committed to continuing to advance work on assisting residents and investing in better infrastructure."
