Welcome to Zoned Out, a newsletter about urbanism, growth, and municipal politics in Ottawa, Ontario. My name is Véronique and you can read my full bio here.
I was a Councillor’s Assistant at Ottawa City Hall for 4 years from 2018 to 2022. I left municipal politics with a head full of opinions and a persistent curiosity about the policy decisions that shape our environments. In every corner of the world, cities are growing through the challenges they face and the way they overcome them.
Municipal politics is democracy in its most visible expression. Join me as I share warm takes and deep thoughts on what makes my city ticks.
