Farah Gulzar is a community advocate and candidate for Ottawa City Council in Ward 17. She has spent many years supporting families, women, children, seniors, and residents facing barriers in the community.

Farah is not a career politician she is a community member who decided to step forward because she believes residents deserve to be heard and represented. Her approach is practical and community-focused, with priorities including safer streets and sidewalks, affordable housing, better parks and public facilities, cleaner public spaces, support for seniors and youth, and greater transparency and accountability at City Hall.

Farah believes local government should listen to residents, communicate clearly, follow through on commitments, and make responsible use of public funds. Her goal is to bring the voices and everyday concerns of Ward 17 residents directly to City Hall.
