Here are key quotes from Ottawa city councillors (and Mayor Mark Sutcliffe) explaining their stances on the Lansdowne 2.0 project during or around the final council vote on November 7, 2025. These are drawn from post-vote explanations published in sources like the Ottawa Citizen (which compiled "in their own words" statements from all 25 members of council), CBC News, and other reports covering the 15-10 approval.Supporters (Yes Votes) – Selected Quotes
- Mayor Mark Sutcliffe (Yes):
“We can hold back. We can delay further, or we can move forward. It’s a big decision, but we make big decisions … And there’s risk with every decision, but there’s also risk in not moving forward with Lansdowne 2.0 … Our professional staff have told us this proposal is consistent with and even better than what was approved by council in 2023. They’ve told us it’s a good investment for taxpayers. They’ve told us we’re not exposing taxpayers to unreasonable risk. They’ve told us that if we proceed with this, we will have more money to invest in our other priorities. And, if we don’t, we’ll have less money … We’re talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of difference.” - Matt Luloff (Orléans East-Cumberland, Yes):
“Right now, Lansdowne is in rough shape. ... If we tried to sell the site today, no one would buy it in this condition. So this is about being responsible stewards — fixing what’s broken before it gets worse and more expensive down the road.”
Marty Carr (Alta Vista, Yes; from her personal statement):
After reviewing the complexities including the Audit of Lansdowne 2.0, she supported it, noting: The 2021 unanimous vote already committed to replacing the arena/stadium, and progress/funds have been expended since then. "It is unfortunate that a previous council did not replace these assets as part of Lansdowne 1.0."
- Other yes voters (e.g., David Hill, Steve Desroches, Glen Gower) echoed themes of avoiding exponential future costs, leveraging revenue offsets (e.g., from development taxes, air rights, hotel tax), and modernizing for long-term sustainability and events.Opponents (No Votes) –
- Selected QuotesRawlson King (Rideau-Rockcliffe, No):
- His opposition is “rooted in fundamental concerns about fiscal structure, risk allocation and the reliance on optimistic assumptions that our own Office of the Auditor General has identified as problematic … Council is being asked to approve $418.8 million in public spending financed through a model that depends heavily on projected rather than guaranteed revenues. We’re asked to commit to $17.4 million annually in debt servicing for 45 years with offsetting revenues that are largely speculative.”
- Jeff Leiper (Kitchissippi, No; from pre-vote Bluesky post):
"Lansdowne 2.0 doesn't give Ottawa what it needs. The plan is built around the limits of a public-private partnership that prioritizes private profit over public good." - Jessica Bradley (from her pre-vote statement on The Bulldog):
Emphasized fiduciary responsibility: Having weighed the financial approach, she could not support it due to risks during a cost-of-living crisis.

Inner core (Wards 12, 14): K1N, K1R, K1S
Alta Vista/River (Wards 16, 18): K1H, K1V
Primary FSAs: K1K and K1M (these cover the core of the ward).K1K: Overbrook, Manor Park, Viscount Alexander Park, Carson Meadows, Forbes, and much of the central/eastern parts.
ReplyDeleteK1M: Rockcliffe Park, New Edinburgh, Lindenlea (more upscale residential areas).
Partial / some overlap: Some addresses in K1G (e.g., fringes near Alta Vista or Gloucester-Southgate, but limited in Ward 13).
Ward estimates (from 2016 adjusted trends and 2021 proxies): Average individual income around $44,000-$50,000+ in some sources; household likely $90,000+ median, with variance—affluent pockets exceed city norms, while others align or below.
ReplyDeleteLow-income prevalence: Lower in core affluent areas, but present in denser/overlapping zones.
HousingDwelling types: Mix of single-detached homes (dominant in Rockcliffe Park, New Edinburgh), semi-detached, row houses, and apartments/low-rise in Overbrook/Manor's.Ownership rate: High in established areas (e.g., 60-70%+ owned in many tracts), with rentals more common in multi-unit zones.
Core housing need (unsuitable, inadequate, or unaffordable housing): City-wide ~11%; likely similar or slightly lower in Ward 13 due to higher incomes in parts, but affordability pressures noted in community reports (e.g., cost of living concerns).
Average household size: ~2.4-2.5 (aligned with city ~2.5).
High-value single-family homes characterize much of K1M, while K1K has more varied/affordable options.
K1M (covers Rockcliffe Park, New Edinburgh, Lindenlea): This is more affluent/residential with fewer multi-unit options
ReplyDeleteWard 13 has ~41,000 residents but lower overall density than central wards, so multi-unit clusters are concentrated in areas like Overbrook and Manor Park (K1K), while Rockcliffe Park/New Edinburgh (K1M) has far fewer.
ReplyDelete2021 Census Ward-Level (Rideau-Rockcliffe):Total population: 41,331
ReplyDeleteOccupied private dwellings/households: ~20,656
Average household size: ~2.0 (implied from pop/dwellings; lower than city average ~2.4-2.5, reflecting more smaller households in multi-unit areas like Overbrook).
Multi-unit dwellings (apartments, row houses, etc.) make up a notable portion in denser sub-areas (e.g., Overbrook/K1K), while Rockcliffe Park/K1M is more single-detached. No direct vacancy stat, but high ownership in affluent parts and renter pressures noted (e.g., 39% of renters spending 30%+ on housing, per older ward reports).
In 2025, new supply has pushed occupancy down slightly (vacancy up), but Ward 13's mix (affluent single-family + denser rentals in Overbrook) means multi-unit occupancy remains solid—especially for stabilized/older buildings.
ReplyDeleteAverage rents: Two-bedroom ~$2,490+ city-wide (2025), with pressures in Ward 13 from cost-of-living concerns.
Estimated Ward 13 Profile (inferred from neighbourhood/census tract proxies and city trends):No religion/secular: Likely 30-35%+ (possibly higher in upscale Rockcliffe parts, where secularism correlates with higher education/income).
ReplyDeleteChristianity: 50-55%, with Catholic still prominent (25-30%) but declining; Protestant (especially Anglican) may punch above city average in K1M areas.
Muslim and other non-Christian: Lower than city average (~5-8% Muslim?), but present in K1K sub-areas due to immigration patterns.
Overall, the ward is less religiously diverse than high-immigration wards (e.g., Gloucester-Southgate or Beacon Hill-Cyrville) and more secular/Christian-traditional than inner-core wards.
Ottawa overall (2021): High car dependency for commuting—~69% of workers used a car/truck/van as driver (city-wide from StatCan profiles). About 85% of private vehicle commutes were solo drivers.
ReplyDeleteWard 13 likely has higher-than-average vehicle ownership per household compared to dense inner-core wards (e.g., Somerset or Rideau-Vanier, where transit/walking is more common). Reasons:Mix of affluent, low-density areas (Rockcliffe Park/New Edinburgh/K1M: estates, high-income, family-oriented → multiple vehicles common).
Denser but still car-reliant sub-areas (Overbrook/Manor's/K1K: more multi-unit but suburban feel, with good road access).
Proxy from similar neighbourhoods and city reports: Average vehicles per household in east-central/suburban Ottawa wards often ~1.5–2.0+ (higher in owner-occupied single-family zones). City-wide trends show ~1.08 vehicles per worker in Ottawa (2022 Origin-Destination Survey), down slightly from prior years, but Ward 13's demographics (higher income, seniors/families) suggest stronger reliance on personal vehicles.
Ward 13 (~41,331 population in 2021, ~20,656 households) has an aging demographic (noted higher seniors proportion, especially in Rockcliffe Park/K1M; median age likely 40-45+, above city ~39-40). This suggests:Birth rates — Likely lower than city average (e.g., fertility rate potentially 30-35 per 1,000 women 15-49 or TFR ~1.2-1.4). Reasons: Fewer young families in affluent/established areas; more empty-nesters/seniors; lower child population share in some sub-areas (though Overbrook/K1K has more families).
ReplyDeleteDeath rates — Likely higher than city average due to older population (crude death rate possibly 10-12+ per 1,000 vs. city ~8-9). Life expectancy proxies from similar affluent neighbourhoods often exceed city norms (e.g., 84-86+ years), but raw death counts rise with age structure.
Ward 13 (~41,331 population) likely has above-average education levels compared to the city, influenced by:Affluent neighbourhoods (Rockcliffe Park, New Edinburgh, Lindenlea in K1M): High-income, established areas with many professionals, diplomats, and public servants → strong skew toward university degrees (bachelor's+, master's, doctorates). Rockcliffe Park often shows very high postsecondary attainment in census tract proxies.
ReplyDeleteDenser/diverse areas (Overbrook, Manor Park in K1K): More mixed, with solid high school/postsecondary but potentially lower university shares than upscale parts.
Overall inference: Postsecondary attainment (any certificate/diploma/degree beyond high school) likely 60-75%+ for relevant age groups, with bachelor's or higher possibly 50-60% (above city average in affluent pockets, closer to city norm in denser K1K areas). This aligns with the ward's higher median incomes and professional demographics.
Most residents in Ward 13 likely cook at home as the norm (especially families/seniors in single-family zones), with eating out/takeout as occasional treats or convenience in denser K1K areas. This fits broader trends where cost pressures push more home cooking city-wide.
ReplyDeleteRockcliffe Park (https://ons-sqo.ca/neighbourhoods/948rockcliffe-park/): Affluent, low-density area.
ReplyDeleteOverbrook-McArthur (https://ons-sqo.ca/neighbourhoods/940overbrook-mcarthur/): Denser, more diverse, multi-unit focused.
Demographics and SocioeconomicRockcliffe Park: High socioeconomic status—elevated income, education, and homeownership rates. Lower visible minority/diversity compared to city average; older population skew in parts.
ReplyDeleteOverbrook-McArthur: More mixed—moderate to lower income in pockets, higher diversity (immigration, visible minorities), and family-oriented with some multi-unit density. ONS highlights community strengths like active associations but notes challenges like affordability pressures.
Ward-wide: Reflects a contrast—affluent pockets (K1M areas like Rockcliffe/New Edinburgh) pull averages up for income/education, while denser K1K areas (Overbrook/Manor's) show more equity gaps.
Health and EquityONS emphasizes neighbourhood equity indices (used in city planning, e.g., for tree planting priorities or revitalization). Some Ward 13 sub-areas rank lower on equity (e.g., needing interventions for greenspace/health access), while Rockcliffe ranks high.
ReplyDeleteCommunity resources: Active hubs like Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre (food security, gardens, social services) serve denser parts.
Environment and LivabilityStrong on natural features (Rideau River proximity, parks), but ONS/city data shows variability—e.g., some east-end neighbourhoods prioritized for tree planting due to low canopy.
Walkability/transit: Manor Park/New Edinburgh more walkable to Beechwood amenities; Overbrook has good OC Transpo but car reliance.
