Why is it important to attend and comment?

If a person does not make oral submissions at the public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before Dec. 14, the person is not entitled to appeal the final decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board.

These amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw are to be considered by the Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) on 1 Feb. 2018 (This committee has five rural councillors) and their recommendation will be considered by the whole City Council at a later date.

In the case of the Carp dump extension, the recommendation of the ARAC committee was rubber stamped by the City Council without discussion.

If you prepare a written submission please reference the File Nos. above.
