DRAFT OFFICIAL PLAN
October 14, 2021 - Today we participated in Day 1 of the Joint Planning and Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee meeting. The agenda is a heavy one, examining 12 Sections of the Draft Official Plan which will guide the City of Ottawa in managing our growth over the next 25 years.
The meeting was opened with a presentation by staff which was then followed up with 38 registered delegations speaking to the committees. It is inspiring to see others' visions of Ottawa as it develops into the world class city it is destined to be.
