His term runs until November 2006. Charelli was raised in the Little Italy (Ottawa) area of Ottawa near Preston Street. His parents were wealthy entrepreneurs owning a number of stores in the neighbourhood. Robert was the youngest of their seven children. Chiarelli was an excellent ice hockey player in high school and attended Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York, New York State on a hockey scholarship. He received a Bachelor of Business Administration degree, and then returned to Ottawa to attend the University of Ottawa law school. He began his legal practice in 1969, specializing in corporate law. Chiarelli became a noted lawyer and businessman in the Ottawa area before entering politics in 1980. He served for seven years on the National Capital Commission before running for the Ontario legislature in the Ontario general election, 1987. Chiarelli ran as a candidate of the Liberal Party of Ontario and was easily elected in Ottawa West, which had previously been regarded as a safe Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario seat. He was not included in the cabinet of David Peterson, though he served as the parliamentary assistant to the Chair of the Management Board of Cabinet (Ontario) in 1987-1988. Chiarelli was re-elected in the provincial elections of Ontario general election, 1990 and Ontario general election, 1995, though by narrower margins against his Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario opponents. He resigned his seat in 1997, shortly after the death of his wife. His cousin, Rick Chiarelli, unsuccessfully attempted to succeed him in the Ontario general election, 1999. In 1997, Robert Chiarelli was elected as Regional Chair of Ottawa-Carleton. For the next three years, he argued in favour of eliminating the region's "two-tiered" government, and amalgamating Ottawa with the surrounding municipalities as a single city. The provincial government of Mike Harris did this in 2000, and Chiarelli declared himself a candidate to become the first mayor of the amalgamated city of Ottawa. Chiarelli was elected mayor of Ottawa on November 13, 2000, replacing the retiring Jim Watson (who later became a cabinet minister in the government of Dalton McGuinty). Chiarelli was re-elected on November 10, 2003 (see 2003 Ottawa election for full results). ==External link== *[http://ottawa.ca/city_council/mayor/mayor_bio_en.html City of Ottawa bio] 1941 births Ottawa mayors Italian-Canadian politicians Canadian mayors

==City of Ottawa== It was always marketed that it was a brand new City of Ottawa, and that Bob is the first mayor of the new City of Ottawa. --User:Spinboy 07:23, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC) :True, but the title "Mayor of Ottawa" never changed. Ottawa has existed since 1855 and we have had mayors ever since then. To say Bob Chairelli is the ''first'' mayor of Ottawa is ludacris, as the City of Ottawa has had 56 mayors before him.
