October 20, 2022 | 7:00 - 8:30 PM | Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre

United Way East Ontario, Ottawa Board of Trade, and Ottawa and District Labour Council, in partnership with Carleton University, are hosting a head-to-head mayoral debate between Catherine McKenney and Mark Sutcliffe, at Carleton University’s Dominion-Chalmers Centre.

Together, our organizations believe that economic development, social justice, and labour rights are intertwined. We want to know how Ottawa’s top-polling mayoral candidates plan to tackle key issues such as community trust, landmark infrastructure, and affordable housing through this lens. Tackling multi-faceted municipal issues requires collaboration, consensus building, compromise, and vision.

Join us, with moderation from CTV Ottawa’s Graham Richardson and 580 CFRA's Kristy Cameron, as we dive deeper into how each of our top mayoral candidates plans to make Ottawa a better place for everyone.

Join the conversation and learn more about how your local candidates plan to #BuildUpOttawa. 



This fall we all have an important role and responsibility to fulfill as we contemplate who will lead our city for the next four years. The results of the municipal election on October 24, 2022 will impact business and community success and set the direction for our collective future.

That is why we designed the #BuildUpOttawa initiative. This is a call to action for all Ottawa citizens to elect municipal leaders committed to collaboration, growth and innovation. The future starts now.
