Public Consultation on the City of Ottawa's Response to the Convoy Protest

The Office of the Auditor General (OAG) has initiated an audit of the City of Ottawa’s Response to the Convoy Protest. The OAG is independent of City management. For more information, please visit our website: http://www.oagottawa.ca

To avoid duplication of matters covered by the Federal Public Order Emergency Commission (the independent public inquiry following the invocation of the Emergencies Act), the OAG audit will focus on the City of Ottawa’s response (these include services such as By-Law, Transit, Traffic, Social Services, etc.) to the convoy protest.

Who can participate?

We are inviting members of the community to share their experiences and observations prior to defining the scope of our audit. We would like to hear from Ottawa residents and stakeholders, racialized / marginalized communities, schools, senior residents, businesses, etc. on matters specifically related to the City’s response to the convoy protest and the impact on City services.

How can you participate?

There are two ways to participate:

1. Comment in the survey below (closes July 31, 2022), or
