Our City
Our City's Future
We are deeply concerned about the future of our city. Led by the Mayor, City
Council is turning away from our democratic traditions. It is holding
corporate-style visioning sessions with almost no community input. We are
concerned this will lead to cuts to public services, and a decline in our
quality of life.
By contrast, Ottawa 20/20 was created with the involvement of hundreds of
women and men from across the city. Ottawa has lost sight of this long-range
plan. Passed by Council in 2002, Ottawa 20/20 gave us seven principles to
guide our city's development:
* A caring and inclusive city
* A creative city rich in heritage, unique
in identity
* A green and environmentally-sensitive city
* A city of distinct, liveable communities
* An innovative city where prosperity is
shared among all
* A responsible and responsive city
* A healthy and active city
We urge Council to use these tools when making decisions about our city's
future:
* Return to the vision of Ottawa 20/20
* Increase public involvement in decisions
* Protect and invest in our public services
* Secure funding from other levels of
government
* Work with the province to create a fair
tax system, based on ability to pay, not property values
* Take immediate action to protect the
environment; address climate change and preserve green space.
Sincerely,
