Platform

Here are the priorities Jenna Jessop will champion on Ottawa City Council.

Safer, More Connected Neighbourhoods

Every neighbourhood in Orléans West-Innes should feel safe, connected, and cared for. Jenna will advocate for traffic calming on residential streets, improve pedestrian safety and safe routes to schools, and support investments in parks, trails, and community spaces.

Responsible Growth & Infrastructure That Keeps Up

Ward 2 is growing fast — and our roads, schools, transit, and services need to keep pace. Growth should benefit existing residents, not leave our community playing catch-up. Jenna will push for infrastructure planning alongside development, improve transparency around timelines, and ensure community voices are heard earlier in planning decisions.

Supporting Families & Community Life

Ward 2 is home to thousands of families, and strong communities are built where families can thrive. Jenna will work to protect and improve community programming, support accessible recreation opportunities, and partner with local organizations to make Orléans West-Innes a great place to raise a family.

Better Communication with City Hall

Residents deserve to know what's happening in their community and to have their concerns taken seriously. Jenna has spent her career helping organizations listen better and bring people together — and she'll bring those same skills to City Hall.
