Ottawa Now - Downtown councillor concerned that Mayor Sutcliffe's Lansdowne 2.0 numbers don't add up

October 20, 2025

The Lansdowne 2.0 project is moving toward a final decision at Ottawa City Hall. And earlier today, Ottawa’s Mayor delivered an update on the redevelopment and construction approval plan. Mark Sutcliffe said taxpayers should be encouraged by this announcement, applauding the project as a good return-on-investment. The annual price tag to Ottawa’s taxpayers has dropped down to $4.3 million, which was originally projected to be $5 million annually as of 2023. A new 5,500 seat event centre and North Side stand installation at TD Place will now cost $313 million, and the full construction project value now sits at $418 million. However, a Downtown city councillor isn’t buying the hype or the decreased expenses, as Capital Ward councillor Shawn Menard fears that Sutcliffe’s numbers don’t add up. Menard joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.

As more than 50,000 teachers in Alberta enter their third week out of classes, the provincial government is set to table back-to-work legislation when the fall session begins next Monday.Premier Danielle Smith has said such legislation should be expected on Oct. 27 if the strike is unresolved by then. The province and Alberta Teachers’ Association remain at loggerheads, with the union rejecting Alberta’s proposal to enter mediation and end the strike because the province’s conditions mean class-size caps and student-teacher ratios would not be negotiable.
