After losing a hard-fought mayoral campaign this fall, cmckenney was suddenly disconnected from Ottawa politics. Now, they tell CampbellLinds they've found a new way to help Canada's cities live up to their potential.
After facing a recent upset in becoming the next mayor of Ottawa, Catherine McKenney is hoping to influence municipal policy in a different, arguably larger way.
Their vehicle for change is a new non-partisan non-profit called CitySHAPES. McKenney announced the launch in January with co-founder Neil Saravanamuttoo, a former chief economist of the G20’s Global Infrastructure Hub and chief of multilateral institutions at Finance Canada. The non-profit has laid out areas of focus that include climate change, active transportation, affordable housing, transit and ending chronic homelessness. For those that followed McKenney’s mayoral campaign that sought to make Ottawa “the greenest, healthiest, best-connected city,” and pledged to end chronic homelessness in their first term, this likely isn’t a surprise.
