Mayor Jim Watson's State of the City address focused on broad themes Wednesday: light rail construction, Ottawa 2017 celebrations and the burgeoning business opportunities from the autonomous car industry.
Watson said he plans to lead a delegation to Queen’s Park in the coming weeks including business leaders and organizations like Terry Matthews and Invest Ottawa.
The mayor said he wants the visit to be a kind of ‘dog and pony show’ to make provincial politicians aware of the talent and resources the city has for driverless car research.
