Older Adult Plan & Invitation to join Older Adult Plan Roundtable
The City of Ottawa has released the Older Adult Plan 2025-2030. This is the fourth version of the Plan since 2012. It builds on past efforts and focuses on making Ottawa a supportive community where everyone can age with choice and dignity. The Plan was shaped by input from residents during public consultations and developed in collaboration with community agencies. It was approved by City Council in November 2025. The new version has a stronger focus on working with community partners to help make a bigger, more lasting impact. Read the Older Adult Plan 2025-2030.
To help guide the Plan's progress, the City is creating an Older Adult Plan Roundtable. This group will include City staff, community partners and older adult residents.

If you are interested in applying to volunteer for the Roundtable, please complete the application form on Engage Ottawa.
Changes coming to automated speed enforcement
The use of automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras has been repealed by the Province of Ontario under Bill 56 – Building a More Competitive Economy Act, 2025. The change will take effect November 14, 2025. Automated speed enforcement cameras will continue to be used in Ottawa in school zones and community safety zones as usual until that date. Any infractions incurred by motorists prior to November 14 will still be processed and vehicle owners will be required to pay the fine, even if it arrives after the repeal date. Details: ottawa.ca
Ottawa City Council adopted a series of urban design guidelines in 2007–2008, covering everything from individual facilities (e.g., gas stations) to broader areas like Mainstreet corridors. These guidelines support the City’s planning and development review processes and are used by staff, developers, community groups, and residents. Currently, there are no guidelines specific to mid-rise buildings (5–9 storeys). This project will create a comprehensive set of design guidelines for mid-rise buildings to help implement the Official Plan and guide the design of buildings, driveways, parking, landscaping, and adjacent streets. Participate in the survey before December. Attend a virtual public meeting Nov. 17 at 6 pm. Register here. More details at Engage Ottawa.
