The People’s Official Plan and responding to the climate emergency
On Thursday, August 22, we joined with other members of the People’s Official Plan coalition to respond to the city’s new Official Plan strategy document, entitled ‘5 Big Moves.’ The new documents lay out policy directions across five areas:
-
Hold the Line: A campaign to stop urban sprawl
As part of the creation of a new Official Plan, Ottawa City Council is debating whether to expand Ottawa’s urban boundary.
-
This is what community looks like
It takes a village, and Ottawa is one epic village! There are so many inspiring and influential organizations, businesses and communities out there, there’s no way you could have heard of them all.
-
Every party must have a bold climate action plan!
Demand that all federal parties adopt a strong climate action plan in line with the science.

Join us as a Volunteer Organizer
Ecology Ottawa is looking for Volunteer Organizers to join a dynamic team working to make Ottawa the green capital of Canada.
Living City
The Living City will integrate nature into the very fabric of urban planning, defend trees, plants, animals, rivers and greenspace and solve challenges by working with – not against – nature.
Active City
The Active City will build safe streets for all users, ages and abilities; focus on moving people, not just cars, and connect communities with world class transportation.
Renewable City
The Renewable City knows that 100% renewable energy is 100% possible; says “no” to new fossil fuel infrastructure, and creates clean energy jobs.
