Dear Neighbours,

I grew up learning the value of community commitment and have always strived to live by this principal. I understand the daily pressures placed on families, and I believe our City needs to ensure access to services and support networks for our youth, families, and seniors. I am committed to working hard every day to increase the livability in our city. We must also make the right investments in housing, including creating the best partnerships, to ensure everyone has a place to call home.

In my 25 years of volunteering with community councils, associations and organizations, I have always been a collaborator - bringing people together, listening to their views, and taking action to build stronger, connected communities.

I will support and respect the collective vision of our community and will work to make Ottawa an even better city. I am running to be your City Councillor to ensure your voices are heard at City Hall.

On April 15th, I hope I can count on your support!

Penny Thompson

As your City Councillor, I will work hard to improve the livability of each unique neighbourhood in Rideau-Rockcliffe and all of its’ residents. I will use my experience working in our community to provide the leadership needed to get the job done.
