The issue of #OttCity's Vacant Unit Tax has arisen in the 2026 #OttElxn.

While a VUT is primarily a housing policy, it also has environmental benefits.

One of our Council Watchers wrote about this when the VUT was new.

The Vacant Unit Tax is also Good Environmental Policy

#OttCity’s “Fiscal responsibility”: we’re gonna keep TAKING your money, we’re just not going to waste any of it on providing you with infrastructure and services.
I've sent all of this into City of Ottawa staff. Obviously, they want to service these sidewalks, but they're limited by the budget resources we provide them, as well as policies that prioritize drivers over other users. It becomes an equity issue.

4/7 in retrospect (can we really speak of #lansdowne 2.0 in past tense?), #ottcity's public engagement was performance art. Town halls! Surveys! Arena tours! All after Council okayed the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group's single concept-take it or leave it said our mayor.

🧵- This morning, #OttCity's Finance and Corporate Services Committee carried staff's recommendations for tax rate adjustments.

This may not sound super exciting, but it's a fairly big deal, especially for renters. ⤵️

Frequent, reliable public transit is our best chance 2 reach #ottcity's goals of climate action, affordability and reducing car use. OC Transpo's "new ways to bus" plan won't get us there, says Nick Grover. @freetransitottawa.bsky.social #ottnews @ottawacitizen.com ottawacitizen.com/opinion/fewe...
Grover: 'New ways to bus' means fewer ways to bus

Very cool to come across #ottcity’s Dominion City in @chatelainemag.bsky.social this month. A fantastic beverage that tastes rich and dessert-like although it’s a fizzy water. I’ve been an unabashed subscriber to this magazine over the years, it’s 97 years old. Fascinating Canadian lit history there

Tragedies like this highlight #OttCity’s refusal to take even small measures to increase street safety.

For example: last month, Council received a @en.ottawa.ca staff report claiming that allowing right turns on red is somehow *safer* for pedestrians. #VisionZero

We recently advocated for improved bike-parking standards in #OttCity’s new Zoning By-law, arguing that providing adequate bike parking fosters Council’s commitments to supporting sustainable transportation.

One of our Council Watchers became curious about the cost of bike parking. 👀 #OttBike

As members of Bird Friendly Ottawa, we were grateful that #OttCity's Environment and Climate Change Committee unanimously recommended that Council endorse BFO's submission to @naturecanada.bsky.social and authorize a letter of support.

Next step: Council Feb 25.
