  WHEREAS according to the 2023 State of Ottawa's Health Report from Ottawa Public Health, it is estimated that at least 14% of Ottawa residents – or over 150,000 individuals – lack access to primary care; and

  WHEREAS this severe access gap disproportionately affects new Canadians, Indigenous communities, and other vulnerable groups; and

  WHEREAS a local group of doctors has submitted an application to the Ministry of Health for provincial operating funding to establish a Family Health Team in Kanata-Stittsville; and

  WHEREAS the application for provincial funding would be strengthened by securing municipal land for construction of a Health Hub facility that would host the FHT; and

  WHEREAS similar health hubs supported by neighbouring municipalities have demonstrated the ability to attract physicians, registered nurses, and other health care professionals, allowing them to quickly scale up primary care access to their communities; and

  WHEREAS this FHT would deliver comprehensive, multi-disciplinary care to nearly 50,000 residents across Ottawa in partnership with local physicians, as well as provide access to a range of healthcare professionals, such as nurse practitioners, physiotherapists, pharmacists, system navigators and mental health workers;

  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT staff be directed to enter into discussions with the Kanata-Stittsville Family Health Team proponents to examine how a portion of the municipal land at 1655 Maple Grove Road could be made available for health care use, including:

  • Land use requirements;
  • Applicable laws, regulations and policies, including the City of Ottawa’s Disposal of Real Property Policy and any restrictions under the Municipal Act including Section 106 related to Municipal Bonusing;
  • Municipal health services and social services that may benefit from being co-located within the Health Hub; and

  AND WHEREAS on September 13, 2023, Council approved that the Notice of Intention to expand the boundaries of the Heart of Orléans and the notification process was made in accordance with section 210 of the Municipal Act, 2001;

  AND WHEREAS the City did not receive sufficient objections and as the notification process was successful, the City may now enact a by-law to amend the BIA area to include the expanded area which includes all notified properties, and such map is attached as Schedule “A” to this motion;

  AND WHEREAS City staff identified a minor administrative error relating to the boundary adjustment map Council approved on September 13, 2023 (Document 1).
