Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson suffered a fractured pelvis in a snowmobiling incident and could be absent from city hall for a time.
In a letter to councillors, Watson's chief of staff Serge Arpin said the mayor was injured during a community snowmobiling event in the rural community of Osgoode on Saturday afternoon.
Watson was taken to the Queensway-Carleton Hospital for treatment and released later on Saturday.
The letter states Watson will need between four and six weeks for a full recovery.
"It is likely that Mayor Watson will have to curtail his involvement in community events over the coming days and weeks," the letter said.
This comes at a difficult time, as the city's budget faces a final council vote on March 11.
But it is not clear whether a temporary replacement will be named.
Ottawa last needed an acting mayor in 2009 when Larry O'Brien was forced to take a leave of absence.
Former councillors Doug Thompson and Michel Bellemare took turns replacing O'Brien over a four-month period.
