Why Imagine Ottawa?

photo of highway 417 Been stuck in traffic lately? Starting to worry about climate change, and the quality of the air in Ottawa? Were you one of the 67% of voters in Ottawa who did not vote in the last municipal election? Feeling the $75 million cuts to city services in 2004? Do you wish your neighbourhood were more of a community? Do you live in one place, work in another, shop in another and play in yet another?

Join Imagine Ottawa, a group of citizens who hope to build a better community. We hope to make a difference, focusing on problems related to housing, poverty, democracy, the environment, arts, culture and community. Learn about local organizations that are working to make a difference – another Ottawa is possible! Share your vision of this city you call home. Meet others in your neighbourhood. Together we can work on some of the issues that matter to us.

Imagine Ottawa is supported by local residents and organizations. Participating organizations include City Repair Ottawa, the Council for the Arts, OPIRG-Ottawa and CUPE Local 2204 child care workers.
