The City of Ottawa’s list of elected officials for 2022 to 2026 shows Allan Hubley as Councillor for Ward 23 Kanata South. The City’s list of certified candidates shows his nomination for the same ward dated June 10, 2026, with the same date for his registration in the City’s Contribution Rebate Program. The City’s published results for the October 24, 2022 election give him 5,334 of the 15,755 votes cast in Ward 23, which is 33.9 percent, the most votes in a race of 5 candidates (Erin Coffin received 3,611, Rouba Fattal 3,606, Mike Dawson 1,782 and Bina Shah 1,422). CTV News Ottawa prints his 2022 share as 33.8 percent. CBC News reported in 2022 and again in 2026 that he was first elected in 2010, and in 2026 it writes that he and Tim Tierney are among the longest-serving members of Council. The City’s page for him, copied on September 18, 2026 and written by his office, lists his roles as Vice-Chair of the Audit Committee, member of the Emergency Preparedness and Protective Services Committee and director of Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. It says he was appointed to the Police Services Board in 2016 and became chair of the City’s Transit Commission in 2018.
In the CTV News Ottawa questionnaire he lists 16 years as a councillor, 25 years in the federal public service, 10 years as a community association president and 10 years in the private sector. The City’s page says he worked more than twenty years in the federal public service before his election in 2010. These are his own statements, and the City’s page was written by his office. voche.me did not check them with the bodies named.
The Council minutes of five meetings record his votes by name. On November 7, 2025 he voted for the amendments to the Lansdowne Partnership Plan agreements and for the Lansdowne 2.0 redevelopment report, and each carried 15 to 10. He seconded Councillor Curry’s motion that sets aside part of the City’s tax on hotel stays for the Lansdowne reserve and puts at least $2 million a year toward the debt for Lansdowne 2.0, which carried 15 to 10. His FAQ page says he voted yes on Lansdowne 2.0 because the City got a better asset for residents with money from private partners and because the site was losing value and would cost more to repair or replace. On December 10, 2025 he voted for the 2026 Ottawa Police Service budget (carried 20 to 5), for the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee part of the budget (carried as amended 23 to 2) and for the motion that adopted the 2026 budgets (carried 21 to 4). He voted against a motion by Councillor King that would have matched a $5.4 million police reserve allocation with $5.4 million for ANCHOR (a program that sends non-police crisis teams) and community hubs (lost 9 to 16), and against the second part of that motion, which carried 17 to 8. On April 22, 2026 he voted for the Safe Access to Social Infrastructure By-law (carried 20 to 4) and against three motions on it: going in camera (closed to the public) before the debate (lost 7 to 17), removing its ban on demonstrations inside safe access zones (lost 6 to 18) and limiting it to times when a facility is used for its main purpose (lost 10 to 14). On July 15, 2026 he voted for the Development Charge Reduction Program report (carried 23 to 1), against a motion by Councillor Menard to send that report to a special meeting of Council (lost 11 to 14), and against the committee recommendations on the Rental Renovation Licence By-law (carried 20 to 5, with Councillors Hill, Brown, Desroches and Lo also against). On September 9, 2026 he voted for a motion by Councillor King that asks the federal government to extend its consultation on the Eastern Bridge Project (carried 23 to 2). He moved no motion at these five meetings.
His campaign pages say he promised from his first election to support tax increases only at or below inflation, that he delivered over $300 million in infrastructure projects, and that he is one of the few four-term Councillors in the City’s history. They list work planned for 2026 to 2028, including a signalized intersection at Eagleson Road and Bridgestone Drive and a renovation and expansion of the Tony Graham Recreation Complex. In the CBC News questionnaire he names better ways to reduce the effects of extreme weather as the City’s biggest challenge, gives no figure for the highest 2027 tax increase he would support, gives no answer on how to cover OC Transpo deficits, and says the police budget needs a review to find savings while adding funds for services that serve the public directly. He adds incineration (burning garbage to make power) as a priority. These are his own statements. voche.me checked the votes, the 2022 results and the roles on the City’s page, and did not check the project figures. The sources read hold no complaint against him.
