The GPCA received the following email from the City of Ottawa.  I am posting it here for community awareness:

Community Associations:

The Public Policy Development Branch of Emergency and Protective Services would like to provide you with an update on the next key steps in the Rental Accommodations Study, including the upcoming releases of both the consultant’s report as well as the staff report.

The consultant reports from Maclaren Municipal Consulting are being finalized, and will include their recommendations along with a summary of the consultations conducted to date. The consultant reports will be published online once they have been translated and made accessible, and we will provide you with a notification and a live link to those as soon as it is available.

Please be advised that the Chair of the Community and Protective Services Committee will be calling a Special Meeting of the Committee, scheduled for November 15, 2019 at 9:30 am. A formal notice from the Clerk’s Office will follow shortly.

In advance of the special meeting, the staff report will be released on Monday, November 4th, 2019. This staff report will include recommended policy frameworks for the regulation of rental housing and short-term rental accommodations as well as recommendations concerning additional hotel, motel, and bed and breakfast regulation.

Also in advance of the special meeting, one final round of consultations lead by staff will occur prior to the release of the staff report. This will include an online survey, available on ottawa.ca from October 4 to October 18 and two public meetings:

Rental Housing Ben Franklin Place October 22, 6-8 pm
Short-Term Rental Accommodations Nepean Sportsplex October 23, 6-8 pm

In addition to these public meetings, staff continue to welcome written submissions from community associations and concerned stakeholders. Please direct your questions and comments to this email address.

Thank you,

The webpage includes three discussion streams:
