WHO WE ARE
ReImagine Ottawa is a non-partisan, volunteer organization dedicated to ensuring transparency1, inclusivity2, accountability3, excellence4, and integrity5 in planning and development within our nation’s capital.
MISSION
ReImagine Ottawa engages6 with planning and development issues to create an environmentally healthy and liveable national capital for all. We focus our efforts on significant development projects.
VISION
ReImagine Ottawa envisions an Ottawa in which planning and development decisions are founded on the public interest of the city, its citizens and all Canadians.
“ReImagine Ottawa has impressed me with their vision for spurring a public conversation on how to become #OurBestOttawa. Their grassroots efforts to engage in a public conversation about the Experimental Farm, Lansdowne and other sites helps foster a conversation about design thinking and the type of city we want to be.”
– Toon Dreessen, President, Architects DCA and founder Reform Procurement Ottawa
