Council Watch

On September 7, 2010, Ecology Ottawa revealed its Council Watch Report Card at an event at City Hall. While, six councillors scored in the ‘A’ range and a further five scored in the ‘B’ range, a majority (13 of 24) received a grade of C+ or lower over their four years in office.

Among them, Mayor Larry O’Brien received a C- in the 2010 report, but a D over his four years in office.

This is the 4th time that Ecology Ottawa has released a report card documenting the environmental performance of City Council. Council members’ grades are based on how they voted on key environmental decisions made at city hall during the past year.
