Planning and Housing Committee

Wednesday, July 8, 2026

18 motions across 14 agenda items · 2022-2026 term

Data sourced from official City of Ottawa council and committee meeting minutes, ingested as the City publishes them. Ottawa records name-by-name votes when council divides on an item; routine items carry without a recorded vote, so some motions show outcomes only. We're working to make this as complete as possible. Full official records on the City's meeting portal ↗

Recent meeting — data may be incomplete. The City of Ottawa publishes minutes to its meeting portal after each meeting. SolveOTTAWA syncs as they publish, so motions and votes will appear once the official minutes are up. For the most up-to-date agenda and minutes, see the official meeting record on the City's meeting portal ↗.
