Category: Ottawa Centre Votes

Efficiency was a key word at a televised Somerset Ward candidate debate – which covered such issues as taxation, transit and housing – on Rogers last week.

As mayoral frontrunners debate light rail and road construction ahead of the Oct. 25 municipal vote, one thing is certain: the outcome will have implications for Centretown well beyond the new mayor’s four-year term.

Parks, rats and light rail are some issues facing Somerset Ward residents, according to the four candidates for its seat on city council in this year’s civic election – Don Fex, Diane Holmes, Susan Miller and Barkley Pollock.

After months of looking like both English and French Centretown school board trustee positions would be acclaimed, last minute nominations mean the race is on.
