People who are
shaping the future
of the Nation's Capital
50 Faces of
Ottawa
In January
2001, Ottawa Life published its first annual Top People of the
Capital Issue. We had 100 people on the list culled from an initial
selection of over 200. The issue did exceptionally well - we sold
out - even with a print overrun.We categorized the list under the
headings of medicine, law, business, the arts, writers, architects,
politics and media to provide some balance and a sense of
objectivity, for these things are always, at their core,
subjective.
We also wanted to have some gender parity. We
only numbered
the Top 10 - the rest were considered first among
equals, a rule that we are repeating again this year. Instead of
choosing 100 people, this year we selected only 50 in an effort to
provide more information on each person. We used the same categories
as in 2001. |
Last year, our Top pick
was JDS-Uniphase CEO Jozef Straus. Who would have thought a year
later that the tech economy would have buckled so badly and that
JDS-Uniphase and Nortel and other hi-tech bastions would face
massive layoffs and re-organizations? We also picked the Prime
Minister as our number 2 choice. This year, we picked the Deputy
Prime Minister - Hon. John Manley - as the most influential person
in the city. Manley is a hometown boy and has risen to great heights
from his humble beginnings in the city's south end. He shares the
spotlight with Deputy Police Chief Sandra O'Sullivan and the very
successful and popular Ottawa Sun Publisher Judy Bullis. CJOH's
perennial news anchor Max Keeping once again tops the list. It was
Keeping's reassuring but authoritative voice that guided us through
a fall of tragic events, as we sat glued to our TV sets, watching
the nightly suppertime news. Artists and restaurateurs, authors and
builders, photographers and politicians are also featured on our
list. All are just a sampling of the amazingpeople who make Ottawa a
wonderful capital city.
