Do you have something to say about planning and development in Ottawa?
Filmmakers want to talk to you.
A new pilot project by Citizens for Responsible Development Ottawa (CRDO) aims to document the impact of Ottawa’s rapidly changing landscape on our communities.
Are you concerned with how planning and development is impacting your neighbourhood? Do you have a story to share? A new documentary film project by Citizens for Responsible Development Ottawa (CRDO) could help bring your story into the spotlight.
The goal of the project is to explore how the community’s interests can be better balanced with those of developers and the city. CRDO will document the stories both through film and in the form of written case studies.
Through these case studies, CRDO hopes to identify trends and best practices that can help improve the consultation and planning process so it will better serve our communities.
Working closely with local community groups and the City of Ottawa, the CRDO documentary project will help give a clearer vision of what communities really want so we can build a better city together.
To participate in the pilot or serve as a volunteer, contact Thierry Harris at harris.thierry@gmail.com
