The Council of Canadians brings people together through collective action and grassroots organizing to challenge corporate power and advocate for people, the planet and our democracy.
Chapters promote the Council of Canadians' local, provincial and national campaigns, act as local watchdogs, and promote social and economic justice on a day-to-day basis.
The Ottawa Chapter advocates for social and environmental justice in the Ottawa Valley region. Our work takes place on unceded Algonquin Anishinabe territory.
We are committed to advancing Indigenous sovereignty, environmental protection, and social justice by holding our elected officials accountable to the communities they serve. We fight against increasing privatization, austerity, and corporate greed.
Our Chapter is cooperatively run by enthusiastic citizens who are committed to advocating for a better Ottawa. We welcome new members at any time!

Energy & Climate
We are pushing all levels of government for strong policies that protect our environment and focus on renewable and sustainable energy solutions.
Health Care
All Canadians should have access to the same services and quality of care. That care should be provided by a national public system
Water
Water is a human right and as such, must be protected from privatization, pollution and bulk exports.
