Our ‘kick-off’ meeting is March 3rd at 12:15 PM. Weekly meetings will follow. Get the invite below.
This year, we are starting the Eastern Ottawa Urbanism Club, a dedicated time and place for east Ottawa residents who are interested in discussing how our community is built, how it moves, and how we can make our neighbourhoods more financially and socially resilient. Whether you’re a long-time advocate or just curious about why our streets look and feel the way they do, this is a low-pressure way to connect with others who care about the future of the east end.
Our primary way of keeping in touch is a weekly virtual roundtable meeting held during the Tuesday lunch hour (12:15 PM on Tuesday is tentative until we establish it works for people)—perfect for a quick mid-week check-in on any local projects and policy discussions. To keep things grounded in the real world and to get to know each other, we also aim to meet up in person for lunch or an evening drink and/or chat every 4 to 6 weeks.
I would also invite you to share ongoing projects or issues that might be relevant to the group in The New Orleans Forum.
