Upcoming Ottawa City Hall Developments and Local Governance

On this week’s Panel, Joanne, Jon and Neil discuss:

* the upcoming Osgoode by-election, to fill the Council seat vacated by George Darouze

* e-Scooters are back for 2025

* why so many City reports are not written in plain English

* changes coming to the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, and whether councillors should get involved.

And we have the lightning round, where we talk about boulevard gardens, secret LRT discussions, Council pay increases and also respond to your comments and questions.
