We are calling on leaders to #BuildUpOttawa through innovative investments that drive growth for an inclusive and sustainable economy.

We are calling on Ottawa residents to #BuildUpOttawa by electing officials that will lay a strong foundation and set a competitive pace of growth in our city for today, the next decade and the next generation.

We are calling on Ottawa business and community leaders to #BuildUpOttawa and amplify the need for a pro-growth agenda and the priorities that matter most for city building.

The #BuildUpOttawa initiative advocates for 5 top local priorities

that invest in the future and inspire inclusivity.

BUILD FOR GROWTH

Commit capital funds to finish Light Rail Transit Phase 3 and build the New Campus Development at the Ottawa Hospital. Connecting Kanata and Barrhaven to the rest of the city supports our climate and inclusivity agenda while making the city more attractive to investment and talent. A state-of-the-art healthcare facility ensures our growing population is well served and healthy while attracting businesses and residents seeking amenities.

BUILD MORE HOMES

Streamline development approval processes and incentivize the municipal government to accelerate approvals to get more inventory, faster.

BUILD TARGETED SKILLS

Expand programs to recruit and train workers for the skilled trades and professions where existing and forecasted labour and talent shortages are identified, including but not limited to construction, health, hospitality, and technology.

BUILD OUR DOWNTOWN

Provide incentives to economic stakeholders, property owners, developers, and businesses to revitalize buildings and services in Ottawa’s downtown.

BUILD SMALL BUSINESS

Provide targeted financial support for the hardest hit sectors.

Expand programs that support digitization and access to new markets. Create programs for diverse entrepreneurs including businesses owned by women, Indigenous and racialized entrepreneurs, and those with disabilities.
