October 20, 2022 | Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre | 7:00 - 8:30 PM
United Way East Ontario, Ottawa Board of Trade, and Ottawa and District Labour Council, in partnership with Carleton University, are hosting a head-to-head mayoral debate between Catherine McKenney and Mark Sutcliffe TONIGHT, at Carleton University’s Dominion-Chalmers Centre.
We want to know how Ottawa’s top-polling mayoral candidates plan to tackle key issues such as community trust, landmark infrastructure, and affordable housing through this lens. Tackling multi-faceted municipal issues requires collaboration, consensus building, compromise, and vision.
Join us in-person or stream online, with moderation from CTV Ottawa’s Graham Richardson and 580 CFRA's Kristy Cameron, as we dive deeper into how each of our top mayoral candidates plans to make Ottawa a better place for everyone.

The last two plus years of the pandemic has disproportionately impacted small businesses, especially those in the hardest hit sectors and those owned by entrepreneurs from equity deserving populations. We acknowledge our Ottawa entrepreneurs and employees for their determination, ingenuity, and resilience during what has been the most challenging and uncertain of times.
OBOT remains committed to our collaboration with economic partners to support small business by reducing barriers and generating opportunities to learn and grow.
