About OSWatch
OSWatch is OSCA's watchdog on planning, development, and zoning issues in Old Ottawa South. The committee reviews all proposals for changes in zoning and minor variances, site control plans and the like which are subject to community comment, and provides advice or comments to city planners when necessary. The committee becomes involved on issues where impacts of a project are likely to affect the community broadly, or set undesirable development precedents.
OSWatch represents the Association (OSCA) at public hearings and meetings of the City's Planning Committee, Committee of Adjustment, and provincial agencies such as the Alcohol and Gaming Commission, or the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).
The Committee uses the expertise of its members to help with the assessment of projects, holds community meetings and consultations when necessary, and can on occasion engage in mediation.
The Committee meets every 4 weeks on the first Tuesday of the month, or more frequently if required. Any member of OSCA can join the committee and participate in its meetings. For more information, see:
