The City of Ottawa’s list of certified candidates shows Jason Wing’s nomination for Councillor in Ward 19 Orléans South-Navan dated June 17, 2026, and his registration in the Contribution Rebate Program dated August 11, 2026. He gave the City a website, a Facebook page and an Instagram account. CBC News and Capital Current describe him as a graduate of Algonquin College’s culinary management program who runs the La Ha Tacos food truck in Orléans, and Capital Current calls him a first-time candidate. The other candidate in the ward is the sitting Councillor, Catherine Kitts.
His campaign website says he has lived in Orléans for 39 years, graduated from Algonquin College’s Culinary Management program, worked up to a management job and then started his own business, LA HA Tacos, ten years ago. In the CTV News Ottawa questionnaire he says he has worked in hospitality for 20 years and has owned a small business in Orléans for 10 years, and that he is not a politician. These are his own statements, and voche.me did not check them with the college or the business.
His campaign website lists three themes. The first is food supply: a neighbourhood food depot, direct sales by local farmers with less City paperwork, more support for food banks, and federal money for greenhouses, vertical farming and cold storage. The second is the Orléans Agora, a non-profit community hub in an empty shop or City building with shared work space, a business improvement area covering all of Orléans, youth and mentoring programs and a local town hall. The third is spending and accountability: he says City Hall has a spending problem and not a revenue problem, names a City land purchase for a waste site and the Tewin development as examples of poor decisions, and says he would vote against land deals and contracts that lack third-party valuations. voche.me did not check those claims.
In the CBC News questionnaire he chooses a transit levy to cover OC Transpo deficits, says the Ottawa Police Service budget should be increased, and says he would support a 2027 tax increase of no more than 3 to 3.5 percent, split between core services and a dedicated infrastructure and transit levy. In the CTV News Ottawa questionnaire he opposes a new infrastructure levy. He also says transit fares should fall for residents who depend on OC Transpo. Capital Current reports that his campaign focuses on protecting rural land, affordability, housing and sustainable infrastructure, and that he has not spoken out against the Alto high-speed rail plan. The sources read hold no complaint against him.
Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform.
His campaign page proposes a neighbourhood food depot in Orléans, less City paperwork for local farmers who sell directly to residents, more support for food banks, and federal money for greenhouses, vertical farming and cold storage.
In the CBC News questionnaire he says the City should use federal and provincial food security money to build a food depot, greenhouses and production facilities in the ward.

It names the former Toys R Us building and the former City Hall space on Peter D. Clark Place as sites for a pilot, and says the hub would be paid for by memberships, sponsors and grants.
