Mayor
Jim Watson presented the Mayor’s City Builder Award to Mr. Tom Marcantonio in honour of his outstanding volunteerism and philanthropy. Since 2009, Mr. Marcantonio has been
visiting schools to share his knowledge of sustainable, urban, community
farming. Mr. Marcantonio has helped 10 Ottawa high schools to install and grow
their own gardens. His vision is to see parts of Ottawa’s greenbelt cultivated
to produce 50 per cent of all the food consumed in Ottawa. In recognition of
his work to promote community gardening and sustainable food, in 2019 Mr.
Marcantonio was featured as a CBC Ottawa Trailblazer.
In
2014 Mr. Marcantonio also participated in the Better Neighbourhoods Project,

Since the
beginning of this term of Council, division has been fostered through
committee appointments which ignore broad regions in Ottawa for political
purposes.
This has
meant that our non-partisan based Municipality, within a large amalgamated
city, has not functioned as well as it should.
The makeup
of FEDCO does not represent the regional complexities of Ottawa nor the tax
base.
When we look
at the infrastructure in our city, the contentious debates we have had, and
the core economic drivers, these are predominantly located in the centre of
the city, which go unrepresented on the municipal finance committee.
The process is
flawed with discussion and debate shut down when members try to ask questions
about appointments.
The question
arises, why are appointments and power being afforded in this way? Is it
based on qualifications of who can do the best job for our entire city?
The
Municipal Act is clear in its directions regarding Councillors roles. Are we
being good stewards of the whole municipality by doing this? Are we being
representative of the whole city by doing this? Are we being the best possible
policymakers by excluding entire regions of the city?
What
professional suggestions can the Clerk’s office offer to restore balance in our
municipality, to return a regionally representative, less divisive, Council,
each independently elected to bring both a City-wide and local perspective to
the table?

Council adjourned
the meeting at 10:58 am.
