Updates for Ward 20 | March 28th 2025

Sharing Osgoode-specific updates in my role as caretaker

Former Ottawa City Councillor George Darouze, who represented Ward 20 – Osgoode, has been sworn in as the new Member of Provincial Parliament for Carleton.

The City Clerk will oversee the process to fill the vacancy, with a by-election taking place this June.

In the meantime, Council has delegated authority for Ward 20 to Councillor David Brown and I to ensure continuity of service and representation in a caretaker capacity.

I will be including relevant Ward 20-specific updates in this section of my newsletters moving forward until a Councillor for that ward is sworn in.
