Judicial Review Decision

After many delays, the Judicial Review was heard on May 25th, 2026.

On June 25th, 2026, the Divisional Court concluded that the City's decision to disconnect my family's water for 37 days in the middle of winter was reasonable and procedurally fair.  After careful review of the decision, we believe it contains both factual and legal errors. Therefore, I am preparing a Motion for Leave to Appeal to the Court of Appeal of Ontario.

This case may impact residents in other Ontario municipalities.  The issue here is whether City of Ottawa should have broad powers to disconnect and withhold water service despite my account being in good standing regardless of procedural fairness and the Municipal Act constraints.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I move to this next phase, share this Fundraiser link with friends and family and consider a $5 donation.  Help Appeal a Landmark Ontario Water Rights Case | GiveSendGo

Thank you for your support, your prayers, and for standing with us.

With gratitude,
