Throughout this year, Ottawa’s rural residents were asked to provide input to the 2024 Rural Summit through workshops and surveys. Now, it’s time to turn your feedback into solutions.

Registration is open for the 2024 Rural Summit. Join us on Saturday, November 2 at Sir Robert Borden High School at 131 Greenbank Road.

The Rural Summit is a unique opportunity for rural residents to engage directly with members of City Council to hear how the input received from across rural Ottawa will shape the issues that matter most to rural communities. The goal is to improve the City’s delivery of programs, services, and investments for residents of Ottawa’s rural communities.

After opening remarks from Mayor Mark Sutcliffe, residents will have the opportunity to participate in breakout sessions on these key topics:

  • Transportation, transit, and infrastructure
  • Environment and agriculture
  • Community and social services
  • Planning and economic development
  • Governance

The breakout sessions will be moderated by the City’s rural councillors:

  • Councillor George Darouze, Osgoode Ward
  • Councillor Clarke Kelly, West Carleton-March Ward
  • Councillor David Brown, Rideau-Jock Ward
  • Councillor Catherine Kitts, Orléans South-Navan Ward
  • Councillor Matthew Luloff, Orléans East-Cumberland

Register here to secure your spot at the Ottawa Rural Summit 2024.
