I want to sincerely than all three of your service to our community. Jeff, Glenn et Allen, merci pour toutes vos contributions envers nos communautés, le conseil municipal et la ville d'Otawa. Je vais vous demander de vous avancer avec le conseiller G. Nous allons présenter à chacun des conseillers sortant un tableau d'un paysage spécial de leur quartier. On commence avec le conseiller Ger. J'ai dit un tableau mais en fait c'est une photo. Et je vais demander au conseiller Gower de dire quelques mots. Merci monsieur le maire. Merci Wendy. C'est la rue principale de Stedville. C'était très important pendant mon mandat. Merci. Je me souviens du premier jour d'orientation des conseillers en 2018. J'étais très craintif. Je me sentais un peu comme un imposteur. Il y en avait sep d'entre nous. Nous étions dans la salle champagne et tout le monde avait l'air beaucoup plus qualifié que moi. À conseil de la table, j'étais à côté de Eli Elhanti, Eli Elhanti, a board veteran and I remember that I often had to ask him about what exactly are we voting for? procedure. So while I was cleaning my office this week, I didn't have any in fact I found a very thick on the sale of cannabis in Ottawa. This was one of the first reports that that we discussed at the council in 2018 and I think we all said to ourselves that this would be one of the biggest files of our mandate.Well shortly after, there was the question uh of buses in Westper, the the stage 2 train light, then Château Laurier so then the light rail file 1 and then COVID, the convoy, the deet show, tornadoes. Finally, it was biblical.We have adopted the new official plan, a plan director of transport, a new order on zoning, incident 2.0 and 8 budget along the way.So, we did many paths, we celebrated a lot too, especially at Stville, we had a multicultural festival which is celebrated uh every year.We have the volunteer award ceremony also because that several people get involved in the community.We had 75 people who came to the bike ride family in June and I was able to go to launch of a dozen businesses premises, several operated by 1st and 2nd generation Canadians.Sted city has changed a lot over the years recent years.We probably all have given the growth of the population.Yes, but Stville has become much more diversified and much more dynamic than it was in 2018. Alongside our long-standing associations date, there are new groups, the Stedville Muslim Association which is not the largest association of Stedville.Then we had a group of Stedville.Then we had a group of locusts that emerged.We come to open a third skating rink for schools and on my street, there will undoubtedly be more lighting than Christmas lights. So, it's magnificent.THANKS.I want first thank my colleagues from the past and the present.I liked it a lot work with you and I learned something from each of you, your experience, your way of approaching the files.Thank you to Mayor Socliff.Thank you for your leadership.This mandate you have succeeded to make everyone work together. It was a much longer mandate pleasant than the previous ones.So thank you. On the staff, there are too many people that I should thank but at least three groups.The heritage group with whom I worked during my first mandate when I was chairman of the built heritage committee. I worked closely with this group and the town planning staff too.I have worked with them very closely to several aspects and also transport to the management team and frontline workers. It was a very nice experience of my career. I thank you to the residents of Stitville who are literally the reason for which I am here. But my work, our work would not exist without the residents. So, I thank them all, everyone who wrote a few words of encouragement and support.And I thanks everyone who is involved in the files.To my office team, there are a few here.Thank you for being came.They are men and women who generally prefer to stay behind the scenes, but they do a job extraordinary. They know everything about the community and have They know everything about the community and have did everything in their power to support me and was really very pleasant during of the last 8 years. And I also thank my family. Public service and being a elected representative cannot be alone.Even if families prefer stay on the sidelines, they often find themselves absorbing the impact long evenings, stress and like elected representatives, we are on the cellette and families must share.So to my daughters and my wife, thank you. It's not very little. And my mother and father must watch TV on Rogers now.He looks at almost every meeting. When I first introduced myself times, I promised to only do two terms and I have no regrets on that.Overall, I really enjoyed the experience but I think although it is very important to give the opportunity to new voices, new experiences of sitting around the table.I am very happy with the three news advisors who will join the council especially for Chelsea Walton.she will be magnificent. And finally, I have taken on several important roles during my terms on the council.A resident who told me that there is a title that I will always keep, even if I leave, it's the neighbor's.This is how that it started and that's how it is will continue.THANKS. Yet another gift for the advisor, the Ottawa coin 200 therefore of the bicentennial of Ottawa. Do you want another photo with the photo? And now we will move on to Advisor Liper and he put on his tie again boss, I know how Laroche Park I know how Laroche Park is important to you.So, we have a nice photo of the park, including the new pavilion. You have contributed a lot to the realization of this project. Okay, thank you very much. The last 12 years I have lived, it's been a privilege to serve the residents of Kuchisippi and to serve this beautiful city.To many times, it was very demanding.Uh sometimes it was rewarding and sometimes it was both.This morning I will talk about the era that crystallized for me the fact that there were horrible and sublime things and beautiful in this city. When AB was killed, our community rallied to demand justice. When COVID hit us, the community took charge and when even offered groceries to those who could not go search.I looked at the convoy arriving on Hintonburg Street while several truckers with their flag [groan] marched down the street Wellington.And then I was proud a few weeks later of myself stand with the hundreds of people Billings Bridge to say enough is enough. So for all these events historical, however, some of the memories that are more memorable are less important.Maybe when the Westbough beach was flooded in 2019, sewage problems had to be resolved and quickly.The city has tackled the problems and the work of construction took a few days and the city installed toilets public in the sector for the people who could no longer use their bathroom.And the residents of Westbrow Beach have maintained their dignity even if they sometimes went to these portable toilet in dressing gown. He smiled at me as he passed and it made me reminds us of the beautiful humanity of reminds us of the beautiful humanity of community.And then there was the day when Murphy, the snake escaped.So, it's not easy to find a big beautiful snake builder in a city.And this this day reminds me how much we advisors have a privilege to work in this city.The residents turned to me as a trusted person and I I am also very proud of my report card, of my communications on the media social.I have often been told uh I have often come to the aid of resident.So and then there are some among you who are true professionals of communication but as an advisor, you have to stay humble.Which brings me back to the snake. Global National talked about it and journalist asked me what Are you worried?And I told him that it's cold in the evening and I I'm especially worried about the snake. Then the anchor turned towards his partner and said "I am glad this guy isn't my advisor. So if I hadn't made a mistake so often, it's well it's because it's a group of humans who are always at my sides to advise me.To my staff, several are here today. Stephanie Tom Susan Kat Jennifer thank you you have saved me too many times and I I am very happy to count you among my friends.I love you all community association leaders and Z, the people who run the civil society and our institutions charity.Thank you for always taking my calls, to offer your good advice and for everything you do.And thank you especially to all the employees of the city who advised me so well throughout years.Your empathy and your generosity, your skill helped me and helped the city for and helped the city for very difficult times.work always to get to Bonort and Wendy, you really have a team of superstar who works for you. Thank them for me and for all residents who came to [groan] my meetings, who wrote me emails, which came to our events.THANKS. Uh you uh kept me in the reason and well aware of the implications of all the decisions I made big and small and to all my colleagues around the table the past and present.Thank you for being good humans first and foremost. You are all here for the same reason than me because you love your community and you want to improve it. Sometimes we don't agree but we have never been enemies. THANKS. So the work was not easy. I sent a condolence card to a Toronto councilor who lost a washer.I have touched many hearts, I ecru and I sang with Lucky Run a song about an electric pole. I participated in all kinds of activities and I confused an old mayor with a doctor a joke on the light rail.During the 12 recent years, I have gone through floods. I went to construction sites construction.I walked through the ashes of certain residences where we cannot do not spread ashes.Finally, I have even been alongside some demonstrators and I even shoveled debris on cycle paths. I was able to count on the support to be dear too. Several are missing now.They are too numerous for me to name all.I love my neighborhood today. I love my city today more than I love my city today more than when I was elected.I can uh point out several of the choices that I did that led us to this point here.So now it's Johann who takes over.I am very excited by his leadership and his skill.So yes, I looked for one five foot snake doing my work.I never thought I would do this but I'll do it again I'll do it again new.But now it's time rest. Nathalie, I will be home for supper.I love you.THANKS. Thank you very much Jeff, thank you for being my advisor for the last 12 years. We will now move on to Harlem Forget. We have a photograph for you from a very special place, the park Tony Graham.You and I have passed a lot of time together and I know that you are proud of the new scene in this space. Thank you, Mr. Mayor, thank you all. Thank you for your support over the years. We have a whole team to the city that takes care of our communities every day. I would have started with a small enough anecdote funny. I was elected when I was elected I am I'm friends with Mayor Jim Watson. But there is one aspect that is very little known.We have a passion for cheese burgers and we walked all over the city to try different types and we went down along the rueun to find a good hamburger. Then we got stopped on the street. We were asked to take a photo. Jim took the photo. The person said "Take the picture with Jim said "Take the picture with Jim Watson and Max Keeping with me.I had no more hair back then.” So this work taught me humility.This is a lesson that I remember.16 years ago, I was elected because I wanted to help Mésins in my community who felt abandoned by their city.1200 houses were flooded. So, it was three times then that we had century-old storms, three in a decade. So we had the changes climatic. I was not an engineer, but I learned a lot about the system of used water.My staff helped me help residents and I understood how these systems worked. But I also knew that politicians lied to us.Many lost their memories and could not enjoy from their house as before. With the support of Mayor Watson and my friend Tim Turney, we found a solution to the problem created by men by the city of Canata. Water was flowing into the basements. We reviewed the water system rain and we better forget to serve our members, our residents. So, it was a project of almost 400 millions of dollars of infrastructure in this area and I am very grateful. I never saw myself as being a politician but rather a representative of the community that helped my residents. I have always tried to prove of integrity and compassion towards others and I leave with these values.Again once, my residents convinced me to stay after the completion of the work flood and I would like to thank the taxpayers.Thank you for giving me the privilege to represent you privilege to represent you therefore to residents and businesses that accepted my family and helped me to overcome the loss of my son Jamie. Thank you thank you for your support to help young people who have problems mental health and cope with bullying.Thanks to my staff Charline, Ashley, Natacha, Nathalie, Destiny, Paula, Jess, Max, JJ, Jack. So there is the right side of my brain that always has who is always right and Michel tells me remembers that it is she who has always reason. So he helped me stay the course during these 16 years of decision difficult. I would like to thank Colin, Henry, Tom, Clarence and John. We have all read a book following this experience, but in fact it is the people who took the time to thank us. I often repeat certain quotes by Lowel Green, now also by Bill Carol. So to my wife of almost 40 years, to my children Christie Lee, James, Joshua, thank you for hearing me in the evening after working to my precious gifts from God Makara Makara Lily. You are truly a source of motivation for me and I hope you will love grandpa's stories concerning the streets and parks that we helped build.Thanks to all my friends around this table as well as those who worked not in the city but who worked for the residents of this beautiful city. THANKS.for those who helped me denigrate my my sidewalk and who will help me start this next one chapter.Thank you once again a good one for Jeff Glen and Allen.

Dear colleagues, dear members, so we know we got the day of remembrance yesterday and we let us remember the sacrifice of those who have served and for those in the forces Canadian armies. Whereas the Royal Canadian Navy plays an important role in the protection of sovereignty Canadian, international defense and support for peace and security international.Wait for the ship to His Majesty Tawa, proudly named after the capital completed a deployment of 4 months in the context of operations Horizon and latitude and to travel approximately 25,000 sailors.Whereas the NS crew officers of the tawa ship served in the region of the Indo-Pacific and in the waters Nordic collaborating with the elements of Canada to strengthen security maritime and cooperation international and that the members of canadian armed forces and their families were deported to sacrifice expected that the city of Tawa a great pride of one who wears his name and contributions of those who serve in the Royal Navy Canadian.It is therefore resolved that the Tawa Municipal Council recognizes and thanks the officers of the crew of the HMCS Ottawa on command of commander Justin Simon for success of their 2026 deployment and their W's service to Canada.He is in other than the municipal council other than the municipal council expresses its sincere gratitude to all PAC members and their families for their service, dedication and their sacrifice and that the office of municipal clerk places a copy of the presents OHSMC motion Ottawa on behalf of the City Council of the city of Ottawa.Is this adopted? Councilor of Roch has a motion seconded by Councilor Hill regarding a tree.Advisor of the Rocks, dear colleagues, whereas the dedication program of trees from the city of Tawa offers residents the possibility of dedicating trees in municipal parks in order to gossip about people and contributions to the community.Expected that personal dedications make tribute to people of events and significant moments take on a personal importance to ask for them to their loved ones and are symbolized by an identification label affixed on the ab of 1027 by the possibility a standardized plate at the foot of the weapon.Whereas the dedications communities highlight the steps significant events, events, achievements of public significance honoring and preserving memories community collectives through personalized plaque at the base of the arms given that the city has a long tradition damage to the elders Canadian fighters notably by through its program of commemorative denomination of ruins in the honor of veterans.The trees and plates provide significant and lasting opportunity to recognize service and sacrifice Canadian veterans.By therefore, it is resolved that council instructs staff to modify the tree dedication program to to explicitly identify the former Canadian fighters as eligible for dedications eligible for dedications community.It is resolved that the staff uses the process of existing city audit for joint nominations with the city regarding naming commemorative in order to examine and check the municipality criteria for dedications in honor of veterans. Thank you once again dear colleagues. Those who were I couldn't be with you on the 11th but it's never too late to sign the work of veterans. Several of my colleagues participated at the ceremonies of this city everywhere in the city for their military services to Canada. We are proud to have among us colleagues who have served our country. I also want to congratulate the advise Glenn Gower for his work in order to give the name of Major Gary Wond to a new street.It's a beautiful way of paying tribute to our elders fighters. [grunt] I know it's not about of an emergency but it must be done in a moment timely.We are in a situation a little difficult.It is a program of dedication for with the important trees under current rules. Plates for individuals who have contributed to the city. Unfortunately veterans are not explicitly recognized as being admissible.Which led to discussions quite difficult for a laugh who wanted to honor a member of his family who served Canada. and who lives with a disorder post-traumatic resulting from his military service. Jeuris explained the criteria for city, but let's think about it.How do you tell a family that the service soldier of a loved one cannot be recognized? I know that wasn't the intention I know that wasn't the intention of the city.This was a consequence unexpected of a program and we want to adopt modifications so that we can increase eligibility for the new year and it could be explicitly incrued included while veterans are recognized for their service and their sacrifices and that their efforts and their contributions are recognized. This is an important clarification but simple but important for elders fighters their families.This allows to members of the city to highlight the work of their loved ones. There are several possibilities in our own neighborhoods, particularly in Riverside South and Finley Creek. While we have new parks and new green spaces.As national capital, Atawa a special responsibility to honor those who served the country. We are the municipality that has the largest number of trees dedicated to veterans in Canada and it is truly an honor for the city.

Lake in compliance with the regulations of the FCMC, the city of Atawa is eligible for be one to have a representative at board of directors in addition to the Councilor Turney who is the president of the FCM.On April 30, 2026, we appointed Councilor Laura Dudas as as representative of the city of Tawa FCM Board of Directors and we approved a resolution to the council which will end with the 2022-2026 term of the council. We expect the board to confirm the representation from the city to OFCM for the mandate 2026-2030 following his meeting on 9 December. Therefore, so that the advisor duud can participate in the next meeting at the beginning of December, the end date needs to be extended so that she can participate. We want to approve the nomination DAS advisor as representative on the board of directors of the FCM and that the everything be extended until the end of the year 2026.

Yes, Glen played the organ at the senators.I was encouraged to do by who? [laughs] I would have voted against [laughs] [clears throat] Hello, hello everyone.Hello everyone. Thank you for joining us today's media. Please join us for the update of today. Paretic, I invite each organization to ask their questions. CBC.We start with CBC Ottawa. Good morning. A thing that was the time of day but what I didn't see was board governance review for the next term.Can you give an idea of what your priorities for the next tip, what we will be able to see in this examination of governance and to what extent will it be different from the last one?Well, I have looking forward to starting the process, that is to say the submission of the report today and then we will discuss it next council meeting. Personally, you will have to concentrate on the smooth running of things.We have lots of work to do.I got myself presented with a very clear, very detailed for Ottawa. clear, very detailed for Ottawa. This is what is this is what is more pressed fortawa.As for the committee structure and all the work we have to do, it we have to be organized as best as possible possible.During the last weeks since the elections, I have worked with each board member to understand their priorities, to talk about my program and understand a little of what they want to do, what work they want to do at within which committee.So, it's only the very beginning of the process.There is still plenty of time for everyone everyone can express themselves on what they wanted over the next few weeks.You don't like it very much being asked to write letters to MPs, but there is a motion which has been filed so that I could ask to write a letter on the time change or no change of time.What is your opinion personal on this?Does the provincial government should vote on this?Does this would mean for the province of Quebec ?It wasn't a priority for me. I already have a work program but even when I was a journalist, I asked a lot of questions to know why we changed the time.Nothing appears to support the benefits to this habit. There are downsides, for sure. But I always say to what point Ottawa and Gâtino are two cities in two provinces but only one economic region and it seems to me illogical to exist in two time zones different times.So there is many people who live in Gatino and who work in Ottawa and vice versa. So there are people who will have to change the time on their world when they will cross their border twice per day.So, it's absolutely ridiculous not having the same time zone schedule than Gatino.So, I support schedule than Gatino.So, I support certainly the motion so that we are in harmony with Gatino. Léa Lauret from CV. Hello, I wanted to ask a question about the pedestrian safety.There were other pedestrian accidents recently. One died. I know you spoke with the police, but what is the city could do anything else to increase the pedestrian safety in Ottawa?Well firstly, I must say my prayers accompany all people who were affected by these accidents. [groan] It's really shocking, it's tragic and it's also very frustrating. I encourage everyone who comes on the roads, especially cars to be very careful.If he takes a minute or two longer to get to your destination, at least all the world will arrive safely.So that worth it.So we must constantly remember the importance of safety and take the time to drive on defensiveness rather than manner aggressive.I talked about it during the campaign.Residents often tell me spoken.We have to move forward with our plan to resolve the worst Ottawa intersections.Then fix [clears throat] the links missing, still missing for pedestrians, paths, sidewalks. So, we want to do this work too quickly as possible.So, there are things you can do in the city from Ottawa and there are other things that emergency services can do too, but it is incumbent on us all as motorists, cyclists and pedestrians to be extremely careful when moves around town because he doesn't he just one or two seconds to do a big difference.There are many of motorists who are very of motorists who are very aggressive while driving.There are people also who cross the street in the beautiful middle of an intersection. Yes.In the middle of in the middle of the street without even looking if he there are cars coming assuming that motorists will just slow down.It's way too much dangerous.So, I think we need to really think about our own safety and ensure that we take the time to needed to do it. My next question is how do you feel now that you have completed your first term as mayor?You have done your goodbyes but you are on the lookout for a second mandate. I have 4 days left in the present mandate.He is not yet officially finished. I don't spend a lot of time think about that.This is an important milestone obviously.There are colleagues with whom I have worked for 4 years that I like and all that matters now is to implement the plan on which I was elected, work on the 2027 budget and go moving forward with several others initiatives that are contained in my platform.So, I am considering it next term with pleasure.There will be three new advisory advisors made three new advisors to the advice and I think it's a exciting time for our city. We have a lot of things interesting things happening.There will be a lot of growth too and I tell myself that we are reaching the end of celebrations of Ottawa's bicentennial and I don't necessarily have to think about Next 200 years but in any case in the coming years.How it should position Ottawa for the 20 next years for growth that we are going to know here in Ottawa and I thinks that Ottawa will still live for a very long time thinks that Ottawa will still live for a very long time beautiful moments and the future excites me a lot. Thank you.
