Ottawa’s city commissioners face a ticking clock as a petition to ban data centers over 25 megawatts hits 658 signatures—forcing a November vote if not approved by the end of the month. The controversy stems from a December land deal selling 300 acres to Lightfield Energy for $5 million, where the company hasn’t submitted required development paperwork despite being in an entitlement window. Community outrage is mounting—with over 1,000 signatories and local businesses like a salon hosting signing events—showing deep grassroots concern. City officials are now seeking outside legal counsel, while both the city and Lightfield remain silent to public inquiries. The ball is in the commissioners’ court as Ottawa braces for a pivotal decision.
