How this page was put together
This is compiled from public sources, not independently or personally researched by ottown. We have not interviewed Julie Fiala Chartrand, attended their events, or verified anything beyond what the sources quoted above actually say. Every statement here needed two independent public sources before it was included, and both are linked so you can read them yourself.
It is not an endorsement, a ranking, or a complete account of the candidate or their platform. For the ballot itself, the City of Ottawa's certified list is the authority, not this page. Ottawa votes on Monday, October 26, 2026. Last checked 2026-09-28.
