Defining Ottawa Together; Culture in the Official Plan
The City of Ottawa's Official Plan provides a vision for the future growth of the city and a policy framework to guide the city's physical development. In 2019, the City of Ottawa is beginning a multi-year process to develop a new Official Plan.
On Thursday, October 17 from 2 to 6 pm in Council Chambers at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, the City's Cultural Development and Initiatives Section hosted an open event called Defining Ottawa Together: Culture in the Official Plan. This public engagement session aimed to define the future of Ottawa through culture. Ideas were proposed and places/spaces were identified.
This website is where the ideas from that session will live, and where you can participate from Friday, October 18 to Sunday, October 27 even if you couldn't join the session. Here is how:
- Ideas: Vote on the ideas from the Thursday, October 17 event that resonate with you the most
- Places: Identify your key spaces and places according to suggested themes
- Forum: Build on existing ideas or discuss new ideas
