About

I’m Neil. I’m part of the ragtag group of the community volunteers working to hold City Hall to account. I’m a director at CitySHAPES, where we build better cities. You can follow me on two weekly Substacks. Fix Your City, co-authored with Catherine McKenney, and the 613.

I spent a career in public finance, at the Department of Finance Canada and as the G20’s Chief Economist for infrastructure. Now I’m focused on building a better Ottawa.
