At the City Council meeting of December 14, 2022, Councillor Clarke Kelly brought
forward a motion directing the City of Ottawa to host a Rural Summit during the current
Term of Council (2022-2026).
The Rural Summit 2024's objective is to recommend improvements to the City of Ottawa services for residents and communities of rural Ottawa. These recommendations will be based on the feedback received from the various public consultation efforts taking place throughout the Rural Summit 2024 timeline.
In-person workshops have taken place in each of the rural wards, including ours, in the hopes of gaining as much feedback as possible. Throughout the Ward 5 workshop, residents were given the opportunity to express their questions, comments, concerns, and ideas with Councillor Kelly, City staff, and workshop attendees.
This “As We Heard It” report from City Staff highlights the table themes and feedback captured from the Ward 5 workshop that took place on June 1, 2024.
