About This Site

This site is full of ideas, each of which aim for just a little less car. LessCar.ca supports the mission of:

Convent Glen / Orleans Wood Community Association

I’m a Director on the Board, trying to do what I can to enact the Orleans Corridor Secondary Plan.

Bike Ottawa

I’m a Board member, doing my part to make the suburbs friendlier to cycling and active transportation.

Strong Towns Ottawa

I’m part of the Board, check out Strong Towns for a broader view at improving the places people live.

The New Orleans

This site is all about making Orleans, Ottawa a better place to live and work.

Send a message to mail [at] lesscar [dot] ca if you would like to share an idea or write something to post here. I’m based in Orleans, Ontario (suburb of Ottawa), but less car is a good thing anywhere.
