COUNCILLOR’S MESSAGE 

In recognition of Robyn Guest 

Earlier this month, folks at City Hall received the sad news that Robyn Guest, Mayor Sutcliffe’s former Chief of Staff and a long-time fixture at City Hall, passed away tragically young after a difficult battle with cancer. Besides her grieving family at home, Robyn leaves behind her second family at City Hall. At our October 8th Council meeting, white roses were left at Robyn’s former desk in Council Chambers. My team and I offer our condolences to Robyn’s family and friends, and all her former colleagues who mourn her loss. 

Ottawa’s Housing Acceleration Plan 

On October 8th, City Council approved Ottawa’s Housing Acceleration Plan, with its list of 53 strategic actions that form an urgent response to getting the required amount of housing built to meet demand, and to satisfy our formal commitments to the provincial and federal governments.  

Generally, I am supportive of the Housing Acceleration Plan and voted in favor of it, as amended through motions brought by myself and several of my colleagues. The rising cost and scarcity of available housing at all levels – market, non-market, affordable, supportive, rental – is a crisis that requires our full commitment. And so, I commend Mayor Sutcliffe, our senior staff, the members of the Housing Innovation Task Force that worked over the past year to produce these recommended actions, and my Council colleagues for getting this historic plan approved. 

That said, I remain concerned with how this plan was developed, and some of the concessions we may have made in getting it approved. I’ll briefly address those here, as well as the measures that I brought to address some of my concerns.

From the moment that Council was presented with the list of members that would comprise the Housing Innovation Task Force, the issue I had wasn’t with who was on the Task Force, but who wasn’t. The Task Force chiefly comprised representatives of our city’s largest developers (Taggart, Claridge, Mattamy), as well as representatives from the non-profit housing sector (Ottawa Community Housing), plus diverse consultants who advise the housing sector.  

There were three elements that I always thought were missing from the Task Force. First, I had hoped to see representatives from the smaller builders and developers, e.g. the small businesses, that focus primarily on modest infill development. Second, I had hoped to see the involvement of housing builders with a proven history of innovative construction methods like modular construction, or high-density infill, to take advantage of new directions from the federal government. And third, I had hoped to see representation from the larger community of residents, a concern shared by Ottawa’s Federation of Community Associations.  

One of the main concerns about the Housing Acceleration Plan raised at Council was the focus that the Plan took on decreasing the cost of construction by deferring or even completely waiving the fees and charges applied to developers by the City. No doubt, it has become prohibitively expensive for builders to build, but I am still worried about what we gave up. 

One action that had been recommended by the Housing Innovation Task Force was the elimination of Community Benefit Charges for a period of five years. These fees, also known as CBCs, are paid to the City at the time a building permit is issued, and are valued at 4% of the value of the land where the development is taking place.  Those CBCs are then assigned directly to the local ward where the development is happening, and the ward Councillor has discretion to spend those funds on a wide range of local improvements (e.g. sidewalks, streetlights, active transportation infrastructure, etc).  

As I’ve said before, Ward 9 is about to experience a level of development and intensification unlike anything it’s seen since these neighborhoods were first developed. Particularly along arterials, like Baseline Road and Merivale Road. These neighborhoods are already seeing the construction of 30-storey towers, with many more likely to come. While I generally support that level of densification, the promise that I made to residents was that I would help support the neighbourhoods impacted by this development by investing those CBCs back into the local community. As an example of this, the three towers that will be built over the next several years at the intersection of Baseline and Fisher were going to provide Ward 9 with more than $600,000 in Community Benefit Charges, money that could be spent on urgently needed sidewalks or streetlights.   

If the Housing Innovation Task Force had their way, Ward 9 would have lost all that revenue. Thanks to my colleagues, Councillor Johnson and Councillor Troster, we ended up with amendments to the original recommendation where the city still be able to collect as much as 50% of that revenue. Ward 9 also won’t lose revenues already collected, and this policy will end after two years, instead of five. Council has taken a leap of faith that the concessions we’ve made to developers will address their inability to build, as opposed to their inability to generate sufficient profits.  

I’d also like to let you know about two actions that I was able to contribute to the Housing Acceleration Plan, which I believe will have a significant impact on achieving our housing goals.   

  • First, I successfully passed a motion to enable the use of Low-Impact Development (LID) to build more homes. Readers of this newsletter have frequently heard me promote the use of innovative LID technologies like permeable pavement, whether as part of housing construction or as part of municipal infrastructure. Low-Impact Development is a sustainable land planning and engineering design approach that manages stormwater runoff by mimicking natural systems of infiltration. Techniques include rain gardens, permeable pavements, green roofs, bioswales, and rainwater harvesting systems. For reasons that I won’t address here, Ottawa has proven to be quite stubborn when it comes to adopting LID and permeable pavement. This is an initiative that I’ve been working on quietly behind the scenes for over a year. With the successful adoption of this motion, as well as a pilot project soon to be announced involving permeable pavement on a municipal road, I’m quite proud to have pushed Ottawa closer to where we need to be when it comes to sustainable land development and climate resilient infrastructure.  
  • Second, I successfully passed a motion to amend our Site Control By-law. Whereas our Housing Acceleration Plan and even our Official Plan encourage the development of “missing middle” density, both the Site Plan Control By-Law and most recent draft of the New Zoning By-Law had set a maximum cap of 10 units for 3-storey buildings. But in talking to developers, it became clear that if that cap were increased from 10 units to 12, it would make it a lot more affordable, and even practical, to build a 3-storey building with 4 units per floor. Currently, a developer would need to go through a Site Plan Control process for any building of more than 10 units. This can add significant costs to the project, as well as delays of 6 – 8 months. And so, most developers would simply proceed with a 10-unit building. My motion successfully increased the exemption for Site Plan Control from 10 units to 12 units, finally bringing our policies in line with our stated goals and ambitions.  

 

Lansdowne 2.0 

The easiest way for any government to publicly disclose controversial news is to make the announcement late on a Friday afternoon. And if you can take advantage of doing that on the Friday of a long holiday weekend, even better.  

And so it was, late last Friday afternoon, with half the city already shut down for the long Thanksgiving weekend, that the City of Ottawa announced the upcoming Committee and Council meeting dates for Lansdowne 2.0, easily the most controversial and divisive issue that Council will debate during this Term of Council. 

Now we have the dates when Council will make its “go or don’t go” final decision on the $419 million project. The final deliberations for Lansdowne 2.0 will be debated at a Special Meeting of the Finance & Corporate Services Committee on October 29th (with October 30th and 31st being reserved for “holdover days” due to the expected number of delegations), and the matter will then rise to a Special Council meeting on November 7th. The reports for these meetings, including the staff recommendations for the Lansdowne 2.0 Redevelopment and Construction Approval Plans, have yet to be released by city staff.  

As for the project’s eventual costs and revenue projections, the Auditor General has already stated that the project’s true costs are likely $75 million higher, and third-party accounting firm Ernst & Young has already labeled the project’s revenue projections as “optimistic”, which, apparently, is accountant language for “good luck with that.”  

I’ve made my position clear on Lansdowne 2.0 from the start. My concerns are many:  

  • I don’t have sufficient confidence in the project’s costs or financial projections. 
  • Ottawa’s financial projections for Lansdowne 1.0 didn’t materialize, so why should anyone expect better results for 2.0? 
  • I can think of many greater priorities for public investment. 
  • There’s no guarantee that the Ottawa Redblacks will stay long-term. 
  • By downgrading the arena capacity from 8,000 to 5,500, how does this help Ottawa keep the PWHL Charge, who regularly sell out the current venue?   
  • It’s ludicrous to spend half a billion dollars and not build a roof over the north stands. 
  • We can achieve significant upgrades to the facility, as well as improve accessibility needs, without spending half a billion dollars. 
  • The site is nowhere close to “end-of-life". 
  • Transportation in and out of Lansdowne is horrible for big events, and the plan for Lansdowne 2.0 does nothing to address that.  

Those are just my own positions on this matter. I would genuinely appreciate it if residents of Ward 9 emailed me to let me know where they stand on this issue. Please send an email to [email protected] with the subject line “Lansdowne 2.0” and let me know where you stand on the proposed investment in Lansdowne 2.0. Please include your address in your email, as I want to consider the positions of Ward 9 residents, specifically.  

It will be interesting to see how the votes for Lansdowne 2.0 play out this Fall. It’s fair to say that Mayor Sutcliffe has a lot riding on Lansdowne 2.0 being successful and doing what he must to get a majority of votes in support. I know of several Councillors who are adamantly against Lansdowne 2.0, and for reasons similar to mine. I know of Councillors who are in support of Lansdowne 2.0, based on thoughtful consideration of the financial risks of not proceeding with this project. I’m sure there are Councillors, however, whose residents likely don’t care much at all about Lansdowne, or whether it gets an upgrade or not. Certainly, many of those Councillors have residents who would be extremely concerned about spending half a billion dollars of taxpayer money on a project with a shaky financial foundation. For any of those Councillors who do support Lansdowne 2.0, it will be interesting to hear their reasons. Even more interesting will be what their residents think about this during the next municipal election. 

 

Update on Automated Speed Enforcement 

While Premier Doug Ford continues his one-sided battle against Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras despite all evidence demonstrating their effectiveness, he had no problems supporting the implementation of cameras for use against crimes such as auto theft or home invasions, as he mused to the media in remarks about the ASE in late September. 

I don’t really know why Premier Ford is supportive of using cameras to fight automobile theft but not to address excessive automobile speed. Maybe it’s because vehicles registered to Ford’s cabinet members have been caught by speed cameras more than 20 times 

At our last Council meeting, my colleague Councillor Tierney brought a Notice of Motion (which will be debated at the next Council meeting) seeking to have Premier Ford consider the effectiveness of Ottawa’s use of ASE cameras, and how 50 of Ottawa’s 60 operating cameras are in school zones, and that the vast majority of Ottawa residents don’t object to their use, especially in school zones. We’ll see how the Premier responds between now and the next Council meeting, but so far he remains resolute in his nonsensical decision, nor has he provided any further detail on how he plans to address traffic safety should he follow through.  

If Premier Ford does end up putting people at risk by removing ASE cameras, then I have already developed my own motion with city staff requesting that we track the likely increase in speeding in the 8 locations where ASE cameras were first installed, to clearly demonstrate the dangerous consequences of Ford’s actions.  

  

Meet the Ward 9 Team 

Over the last several months, the Ward 9 team has gone through a few shifts, including the addition of a new position, as well as the arrival of our newest office manager. It feels like we’ve got a very effective team right now, and so I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce (and re-introduce) the residents of Ward 9 to my dedicated staff. You can read each of my team’s bios on my website:  

 

CITY WORKS 

Leaf & yard waste season 

Let’s rake & roll – peak leaf and yard season is almost here. Starting on Tuesday, October 14 waste collection operators have until 8 pm to pick up separately set out leaf and yard waste at the curb. The peak season typically lasts for approximately four weeks but can be longer depending on yard waste quantities and the weather. When it’s not peak leaf and yard waste season, curbside waste is picked up by 6 pm.

Did you know setting out your leaf and yard waste separate from your green bin saves money because it can be composted at the Barnsdale leaf and yard composting pad at the Trail Waste Facility Landfill? Setting leaf and yard waste out separately will be required as of March 30, 2026, as part of the 2026 Residential Curbside Collection Contract 

To learn more about our green bin program and leaf and yard waste, visit the city's web page.

 

Disposing household hazardous waste 

The City of Ottawa is hosting a Household Hazardous Waste drop-off event on Saturday, October 18 at the Strandherd Snow Dump Facility on Philsar Road. Residents are welcome to bring their materials to the event between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. Please note that electronic waste is not accepted at Household Hazardous Waste drop-off events hosted by the City of Ottawa. Residents can bring electronic waste to retailers by checking Ottawa’s Waste Explorer website. They can also attend electronic waste drop-off events hosted by Junk That Funk or bring electronic waste to the Trail Road Landfill Facility at no cost. For information on household hazardous waste, visit the City’s website. 

 

Cathodic protection program 

As part of the City’s 2025 Cathodic Protection Program, crews will be installing underground anodes to help prevent corrosion of water and sewer infrastructure. Work will take place at the following Ward 9 locations: 

  • Gibbard Avenue between Knoxdale Road and Atkinson Gate 
  • Prince of Wales Drive from Hunt Club Road to Fisher Avenue 

Construction is set to begin this fall and will continue through June 2026. Some minor traffic or access impacts may occur while crews are on site. 

 

Re-opening NCC Trail 31 

In early October our office got a little bit of good news from the NCC, which will be welcome news to residents who use the various trails that run Pinhey Forest behind the Nepean Sportsplex. After a lengthy trail rehabilitation, with repair work and vegetation maintenance, the “Closed” signs for NCC Trail 31 were finally removed on October 2nd. Happy trails, everyone! 

  

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT  

Public Meeting: 2026 Budget Info Session 

If you haven’t already done so, please consider signing up for tonight’s 2026 Budget Info Session, in a joint online session for residents of Ward 7 (Councillor Kavanagh), Ward 8 (Councillor Johnson), and Ward 9 (Councillor Devine). Senior Finance Department staff will make a presentation and answer questions. Tell us your priorities, ask questions, and share your thoughts about how we spend your money. To RSVP for this meeting and get the Teams meeting link, head over to Councillor Johnson’s website.  

Following this meeting, our office will issue a survey for Ward 9 residents to inform us about their priorities for the 2026 City of Ottawa budget. Look for that survey in our October 28th Newsletter.   

 

Councillor Jeff Leiper’s “Listening Tour”  

With the 2026 municipal election just a year away, Kitchissippi Councillor Jeff Leiper announced his intention to run for Mayor earlier this year. In order to get to know what residents across Ottawa’s diverse communities have as their priorities, Councillor Leiper has embarked on a “Listening Tour” in several parts of the city. 

On October 22, Councillor Leiper will be bringing his “Listening Tour” to Ward 9, to be held at the Barley Mow pub on Merivale Road. Councillor Devine will be there to hear what residents of Ward 9 have to say about what kind of future they want for our city. It’s never too early to get engaged in the important discussion on setting the vision for our city, so we hope to see a lot of Ward 9 residents out there practicing their civic engagement!   

 

Fall Public Workshop on Complete Communities 

On November 5th, Ecology Ottawa and Walkable Ottawa are hosting a community workshop at Carleton University to explore how neighbourhoods can provide more of what people need close to home—shops, services, and public amenities within a short walk. They'll discuss 15-minute neighbourhoods, complete communities, and how residents can advocate for a greater mix of shopping options and public amenities.  

The workshop takes place on November 5th from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Carleton University. The evening will open with a short presentation, followed by interactive breakout sessions. Light refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP here. 

 

Public Info Session: Greenbank Road / West Hunt Club Road intersection improvements 

Our office invites you to attend a drop-in public information session / open house on Monday, October 20th between 6:00pm - 8:00pm at the Nepean Sportsplex, to discuss the proposed intersection modification project for Greenbank / West Hunt Club. Preliminary design drawings will be on display for your review, and City of Ottawa staff will be present to answer questions and receive comments. There will not be a formal presentation at this open house. Please attend at your leisure. More information about the event and the project can be found on our website. 

 

Public Info Session: Fisher Ave. & Normandy Dr. intersection improvements 

This is just an advance notice to let residents know of an upcoming Public Info Session for the upcoming Fisher Avenue & Normandy Drive intersection improvement, to take place on the evening of Thursday, November 20th at the Carleton Heights Community Centre. The map below shows which road segments are being worked on for this project (marked in the red line). We’ll share more details on this project and the Public Info Session later in October.  

 

Fisher Heights & Area Annual General Meeting 

Councillor Devine attends several community association meetings each year, and especially each organization’s Annual General Meeting. It’s at these meetings that the Councillor gets to hear about community initiatives and projects but also gets to speak directly with large groups of residents who wish to raise issues or ask questions in a public forum.  

The Councillor attended the AGM for the Fisher Heights & Area Community Association last week. For whatever reason, meetings in Fisher Heights tend to run long, with lots of questions from residents. It’s always the Councillor’s position to answer all questions and share his perspective, no matter how late the meeting goes. This meeting was no exception and ran well over two-and-a-half hours.  

During these meetings, the Councillor often gets questions that require some follow-up with city staff, and so we wanted to provide some of those questions (and the answers we obtained) here:

  • One resident raised the issue of pavement deficiencies along a section of Merivale Road, which recently got re-paved between Meadowlands Drive and Viewmount Drive. The following day the Councillor took a drive along this road and noticed that the sewer lids have all recessed further into the pavement than they should, resulting in a bumpy drive. The Councillor recorded video of this drive, where you can see and hear the bumpy experience, and will be speaking to city staff this week asking how this was allowed to pass inspection.   
  • One resident asked about holding a community information session to discuss 1500 Merivale Road. Due to changes in the draft Zoning By-law enabling taller heights at this location, the developer no longer needs to go seek a Zoning By-law Amendment at the Planning & Housing Committee, meaning residents will not get a formal opportunity to discuss height and density for this significant project inside the Merivale Triangle. The developer has offered to hold a community information session at the Councillor’s request, and our office will reach out to the developer this week to begin discussions on such a meeting.  
  • One resident asked about police enforcement of speed racing and traffic violations in the area. With its many arterial roads, Fisher Heights attracts a significant amount of speed racing along Baseline, Merivale, Fisher and Meadowlands. Councillor Devine reached out to Ottawa Police Services about their enforcement activity in this area and got the following response:  

I can understand your residents’ concerns and I can say we are focused on this area. Below is some recent information regarding our efforts. Please inform your residents to continue to report traffic complaints either through the online reporting at ottawapolice.ca or through your office. The traffic enforcement effort is a team approach: we have our Traffic Unit, Neighborhood Response Team, and frontline officers working together to find solutions to the continuous traffic problems in that area and around the city.  

And your request about local enforcement is very timely! Our Traffic Unit is is running a #ResidentsMatter enforcement on October 10th, with Merivale / Meadowlands as the primary location.

The Maitland/Merivale/Baseline/Woodroffe area has been and continues to be a priority for the Frontline Enforcement Initiative as part of the greater Enhanced Integrated Enforcement deployment strategy. Deployment locations in the area focus along the residential streets – to primarily address “cut through” violation, stop sign and other general Highway Traffic Act violations.  We have included College Square as part of our overall #ResidentsMatter Speed, Street Racing & Disruptive Noise areas of interest for the Spring/Summer 2025.  

The enforcement totals for January 1, 2024, to May 1, 2025, for Baseline Rd, Woodroffe Ave, Maitland Rd, Merivale Rd; indicated there were 262 locations/intersections in this area in which tickets were issued. Out of a total of 2,486 tickets issued: 

  • Provincial Offence Notices:   942 
  • Written Warnings: 1,234 
  • Part III summons (serious HTA offences): 310 

The map below shows the concentration of tickets (larger yellow circles indicated higher enforcement totals).”  

 

PUBLIC HEALTH & SAFETY  

RSV Vaccine Now Available for More Older Adults 

Ottawa Public Health is expanding RSV vaccine eligibility this fall to better protect older adults. RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) is a common virus that can lead to serious illness, especially in seniors and those with underlying health conditions. Adults aged 75 and older, and those 60+ at higher risk, are now eligible for free vaccination in Ontario. If you've already received an RSV vaccine, no booster is needed this season. Eligible individuals should contact their family doctor or nurse practitioner to get vaccinated. Residents in long-term care, retirement homes, hospitals, or outpatient clinics can speak to their care team. If you don’t have access to a primary care provider, Ottawa Public Health offers RSV vaccines by appointment at its immunization clinics. To learn more or book an appointment, visit Ottawa Public Health's website. Protect yourself and your loved ones—get vaccinated this fall. 

 

Get Protected This Fall: COVID-19 and Flu Vaccines Now Available

As respiratory illness season approaches, annual COVID-19 and flu vaccines are rolling out across the community. Starting October 27, everyone aged six months and older who lives, works, or studies in Ontario will be eligible to receive both vaccines.

Right now, vaccines are being offered to high-risk groups, including seniors, young children, people with underlying health conditions, pregnant individuals, Indigenous communities, health care workers, and those with regular exposure to animals like poultry workers and veterinarians.

Vaccines are available at participating pharmacies for those aged two and up, with many offering walk-in options. You can also check with your family doctor. Ottawa Public Health is providing vaccines to eligible individuals who face barriers accessing them, such as newcomers without OHIP and children under five, through Community Clinics and Neighbourhood Health and Wellness Hubs.

Vaccination remains the best defense against serious illness. You can also help prevent the spread of viruses by washing your hands, wearing a mask, staying home when sick, and avoiding visits to high-risk individuals.

For more information on vaccine availability and respiratory illness prevention, visit OttawaPublicHealth.

 

Update on stunt driving in Craig Henry 

Last week Councillor Devine met with Sir Robert Borden High School (SRB) principal Aaron Hobbs, as well as OCDSD Superintendent (North West) Marva Major to discuss the ongoing issue of vehicles gaining easy access to the SRB grounds for dangerous and illegal stunt driving activities. This has been an ongoing and escalating problem being raised by nearby residents in Craig Henry, who have appealed to the OCDSB, Ottawa Police Services, and the City of Ottawa to take action.  

Councillor Devine’s approach to this issue has been to attempt to commit each of those three stakeholders to take responsibility and action towards a collaborative solution. First and foremost, the Councillor’s position is to request that physical barriers and surveillance equipment be put in place to deter and discourage illegal access to the property. The Councillor has received supportive responses so far, and will continue to pressure each stakeholder to follow through with the recommended actions.   

 

Respiratory Disease Update 

As we move through October, respiratory illness levels in Ottawa continue to track below seasonal norms seen in recent years. That’s encouraging news, but it’s worth noting that COVID activity is increasing in some communities. 

It’s a good time to refresh some simple habits that help keep everyone healthy: crack a window for ventilation, run an air purifier if you have one, and consider wearing a high-quality mask when sharing indoor air—especially in crowded or enclosed spaces. 

 

 

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT 

Update & Public Meeting: 780 Baseline / 1350 Fisher 

Our office continues to work with the developer of 780 Baseline / 1350 Fisher to address issues arising from the recent commencement of construction, including significant resident concern over the proposed truck routes for site excavation. On October 28th at 7:00pm, our office will be facilitating a Public Meeting with developer Joey Theberge (Theberge Homes) to discuss these and other issues and questions arising from the project construction. The meeting will take place in person at the Fisher Heights Community Centre. We’ll be holding the meeting simultaneously on Zoom, and residents can email our office for the Zoom link.

On October 14th, Councillor Devine joined with MP Anita Vandenbeld, MP Jenna Sudds, and MP Yasir Naqvi along with developer Joey Theberge for the project’s official groundbreaking ceremony, where the federal government announced its support for this project in the amount of $136.5 million in fully repayable loans for the construction of 316 units of new housing.
