Speakers included Paul Johanis of the Greenspace Alliance and the People’s Official Plan for Ottawa’s Climate Emergency, Cheryl Randall of Ecology Ottawa, Chris Stoney of Carleton’s School of Public Policy and Administration, and Ozayr Saloojee of Carleton’s Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism.
