Chiarelli urges prioritizing development land in Kanata North and West Carleton over the Tewin lands.
Chiarelli urges prioritizing development land in Kanata North and West Carleton over the Tewin lands because developing the Tewin site would create an “unreasonable delay” in building new housing, he said in his letter to Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Steve Clark.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Ottawa SUN, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
“I do not believe that at this late date it would be fundamentally democratic to impose the will of the previous council on a very much transformed new council.” “The reality is that houses were not going to be built because Tewin is so far out. They would not be able to contribute to housing needs that are imminent and present.”
“This was blatantly disrespectful to the Algonquin people, and disregards our sincere efforts to rebuild the Algonquin Nation throughout Ottawa,” said Jocko. “It is, frankly, the kind of colonialist approach to decision-making that has hindered the Algonquin people from taking our rightful place in the nation’s capital.”
McKenney believes the province is looking seriously at the official plan as it was approved last year. “It’s a decision I believe was made in error. Now’s the time for residents to weigh in.” The city has approved an official plan that includes enough land to accommodate growth for many years and hundreds of thousands of new residents must be housed through a combination of intensification and growth in the next 25 years, said Sutcliffe.
