Ecology Ottawa wants to set the bar on environment for candidates for Mayor and Councillor in the October 25th municipal election.
The group says it is mobilizing residents in all wards to challenge candidates to take a stand on key environmental challenges facing the city.
Chair Graham Saul says "those who want to represent us at City Hall need to show that they understand, care about, and are prepared to take action on pressing environmental issues."
Ecology Ottawa is also preparing a questionnaire for all candidates, which will ask them to take positions on key environmental issues like air and water pollution, threatened biodiversity, and waste.
