I believe Ottawa needs a greater balance of elected women and men in City Council. In Ottawa, women account for 26 percent of elected municipal representatives where, according to the United Nations, a governing body requires a minimum of 30 percent women to be elected in order to see lasting change to institutional bodies. On October 25th, 2010, voters in Ottawa will go to the polls - elect a woman and help boost our numbers.
