The end of Lansdowne marks the beginning of a 2026 Election Campaign
Lansdowne was lost but the movement to reduce big developer influence continues. It is time to shakeup council and create city leadership that prioritizes residents over partnerships with developer organizations like OSEG. The coalition created during the Lansdowne campaign will now refocus on the 2026 election.
As this map of the Lansdowne vote illustrates, the debate has fractured the city along an urban – suburban/rural divide. If we are to create a capital city that meets everyone’s needs and a political milieu that does not pit us against each other, we must focus on solutions that work for all citizens.
Vote Tracking
- Horizon Ottawa has developed a vote tracking tool that breaks down councillor votes at committees and council, by subject, and by alignment with the mayor.
- Horizon will also continue to uncover developer-related donations to candidates in the 2026 election.
We want to hear from you!
How can we foster better development decisions? What are your priorities? How can we reach voters in suburban and rural wards? And importantly, how can you help over the next12 months to replace councillors who consistently value developer interests over the interests of the people of Ottawa?
