Politicians at all levels are involved in making decisions about development. Many organizations besides ReImagine Ottawa watchdog these decisions. Here you’ll find contacts for these decision makers and links to local organizations working to curb developer influence in city planning and protect our greenspaces. In addition, we have included links to a few key documents.
