We’re pleased to be participating in today’s City Building Summit – Capital 200: Owning Our Future, hosted by the Ottawa Board of Trade.

This premier forum brings together business leaders, policymakers, and community builders to explore the ideas, innovations, and collaborations shaping the future of our capital region—from economic growth and infrastructure to talent, productivity, and inclusive prosperity.

A highlight for us was the fireside chat with Mary Rowe (Canadian Urban Institute), who underscored the critical role of local business communities, including BIAs, in building vibrant, resilient cities.

Great conversations, strong perspectives, and a shared commitment to shaping Ottawa.

Nous sommes ravis de participer aujourd’hui au Sommet sur le développement urbain – Capital 200 : Prendre notre avenir en main, organisé par la Chambre de commerce d’Ottawa.

Ce forum de premier plan rassemble des chefs d’entreprise, des décideurs politiques et des acteurs du développement communautaire afin d’explorer les idées, les innovations et les collaborations qui façonnent l’avenir de notre région de la capitale – de la croissance économique et des infrastructures aux talents, en passant par la productivité et la prospérité inclusive.

L’un des moments forts pour nous a été la discussion informelle avec Mary Rowe (Institut urbain du Canada), qui a souligné le rôle essentiel des communautés d’affaires locales, y compris les associations de commerçants, dans la construction de villes dynamiques et résilientes.

Des conversations enrichissantes, des perspectives solides et un engagement commun à façonner l’avenir d’Ottawa.
