Congratulations to Ottawa’s New Mayor & City Council

Municipal election day was an exciting day for Ottawa! Our city now has a new mayor-elect and new city council, including 11 new councillors.

I am incredibly proud of my friend Mark Sutcliffe who is our new mayor for Ottawa with his vision, his campaign and his dedication to making our city the best possible place. The energy of countless volunteers who rallied around Mark and his vision was contagious. Our city came out in large numbers, showing their confidence in his leadership and his vision.

To the three west Ottawa city councillors who serve in my riding of Kanata—Carleton, Cathy, Allan and Clarke, I look forward to working alongside them in our amazing community. To all the candidates who stepped up and had the courage to put their name on the ballot, our city is better because of them.

Lastly, a special thanks to outgoing mayor Jim Watson for his steadfast leadership over the years. He has served us incredibly well. I hope he gets a much-deserved vacation.
