🚨 Calling all ecology and budget enthusiasts! 🚨 The City’s draft budget drops soon — and we want your ideas on how Ottawa should invest in the environment.

See you all tonight for our monthly meeting at 6:15, St Peter's Lutheran Church (400 Sparks street) to discuss the 2026 City of Ottawa budget, as well as delegation opportunities! Entrance is around the back of the church, no ticket purchase required! luma.com/h1t4z42r

This is encouraging: Planning and Housing Committee oppose expanding #Ottawa's urban boundary. Sprawl is killing us: it's expensive, it entails natural heritage destruction, it's difficult to service—and the list goes on. Ask your councillor to approve this recommendation at Council Nov 12.
