Okay, so maybe this isn’t exactly a — but this site is definitely worth promoting in my Ottawa spotlight!

Ottawa has a mission:

The objectives of this group is to provide real citizen input into planning and management of our city by letting smart people solve problems.

It’s as simple as that. What makes them fit into my Ottawa eco spotlight? Well, it may be a bit of a stretch, but I think the potential fit is one worth noting: Their entire goal is to inspire citizens to fix the city around them! That’s a very good start.

They encourage change of all kinds. The site itself posts regularly about initiatives in the Ottawa area, such as FixMyStreet.ca – a site that allows people to file problem reports on things in their neighbourhood they’d like to see fixed: potholes, bad lighting, or unsafe pathways.

Kudos to Ottawa! Check out their website for more information.
