On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation we honour residential school Survivors, remember the children who never came home, and recognize the lasting impact on Indigenous families and communities. It’s a day to listen, learn and continue the work of reconciliation.

I hear it all the time from families with young kids: finding a spot in swimming lessons is a real challenge. That’s why I’ve outlined a plan to increase access to swimming lessons, expand opportunities for children and make registration easier for families.

It was a pleasure to welcome the Ottawa Titans to City Hall to celebrate their historic championship win and proclaim September 28 as Ottawa Titans Championship Day in Ottawa! As a lifelong baseball fan, it’s been incredible to watch the Titans bring home the title while setting

Congratulations to Thomas Chabot on being named the 11th captain in Ottawa @senators.bsky.social history. A well-deserved honour for a player who has proudly represented Ottawa for nearly a decade. Excited to have you lead us into the new season, Thomas.

Nous avons augmenté de 17 % le nombre de programmes récréatifs offerts en français cette année. Nous avons également investi dans le nouveau MIFO à Orléans, la Maison de la Francophonie dans l’ouest, La Nouvelle Scène et le carrefour communautaire du CSC Vanier.

Keeping life affordable means keeping property taxes under control. That’s why I’m making a clear commitment to limit property tax increases to 2% to 2.5% for the next two years.

Ottawa families are managing their costs carefully. They deserve to know there’s someone working hard to keep their property taxes low. I’m the only mayoral candidate committing to a clear limit: 2% to 2.5% for the next two years.

I was deeply troubled to learn that Ottawa schools have been targeted with threatening messages rooted in Islamophobia. There is absolutely no place for hatred in our city. Every student, family and staff member should feel safe at school and in every part of our city.

Merci, monsieur Chrétien, de vous être joint à nous alors que je présentais mon plan pour la communauté francophone d’Ottawa. Je suis très honoré de pouvoir compter sur l'appui d’un si grand leader canadien.

The new leadership at OC Transpo is working hard to make bus service much more reliable. As we add new electric buses to replace our aging diesel vehicles that were often breaking down, the reliability has improved significantly. (Photo credit: OC Transpo)

We need to make housing more affordable for Ottawa residents. I'll freeze all city-imposed costs on new housing, including permitting fees, rezoning, variances, official plan amendments and development charges.  See my full plan: marksutcliffe.ca/priorities/a...

No one in our city should have to worry where their next meal is coming from. That’s why I increased the food security budget by 15% this year. In my next term, I’ll increase dedicated municipal funding to address food security by a further 10%.

Families in Ottawa are facing rising costs. We can't let city hall add to that burden. That's why I’ll keep property tax increases between 2% and 2.5% for the next two years, while protecting and enhancing the municipal services you rely on.

What an amazing morning at the Army Run. This is an incredible event that brings our community together to honour the service and sacrifice of the members of our Canadian Armed Forces, veterans, and their families. I was especially proud to run it alongside my daughter Kate.

More frontline personnel means safer communities and faster response times. In the last four years, we’ve virtually eliminated Level Zero events, when no ambulances were available in Ottawa.

We can't add to the burden of families facing rising costs. For the past four years, Ottawa has had the lowest tax increases of any major Canadian city. I kept my promise to keep taxes as low as possible.

In 2025, Ottawa's housing starts were up 38%. That surge happened despite housing starts being down across Ontario. Now, in 2026, our housing starts are up even more, 8% higher than in 2025. And the year isn't over yet. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

Over the past four years, we’ve made real progress. Working together, we’ve kept taxes low, invested in roads and transit, strengthened public safety, built more housing and brought billions of dollars of investment to our city. But there’s more work to do.
