Knoxdale-Merivalehas many parks and recreation centres, including the city's largest: the Nepean Sportsplex. The National Capital Commission also announced a plan in August 2018 to look at using aparcel across the street from the sportsplex for a film sound stage and creative hub.

As far as candidates go, James Dean has run twice before: in 2006 against Gord Hunter and again in 2010, when Keith Egliwon the race to replace Hunter when he didn't seek reelection. He's looking to challenge Egli, the current transportation committee chair, a second time.
