Ottawa Centre MP Yasir Naqvi  presented an overview on the Downtown Ottawa Revitalization Task Force to CCSAC in June 2024.  This is an initiative he had been instrumental in launching several years ago.  The task force brought together members from the private and public sectors as well as civil society with a mission to assess ways to address the area’s needs by identifying short-term, medium-term and long term priorities to transform Downtown.  CCSAC representatives were pleased to see the inclusion of possible solutions to help with the lack of affordable housing, reinvigorating local businesses in a hybrid work environment and creating more inclusive community spaces.  The report can be found at  https://yasirnaqvi.libparl.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/179/2024/01/OttawaDowntownReport_ENG_FINAL_compressed.pdf
