[3][4] Little was involved in politics from a young age as a member of the provincial Ontario and Federal Progressive Conservative parties.
He helped lead the effort to oppose the National Capital Commission (NCC) plan to widen the Champlain Bridge,[5][6] and was a local community leader, volunteer and activist for local organizations, charities and community service groups.
As one friend put it: "He talked about the importance of reaching out to youth and getting involved with them before they go down the wrong path".
Little again ran for election to represent Kitchissippi Ward against Regional Council member Linda Davis.
When it was approved, the new Loblaws in Westboro was seen as a victory for the community and one that revamped and revitalized the many small businesses lining Richmond Road and West Wellington Street that had been in sharp decline.
[12] One of these goals was revitalizing Hintonburg, a neighbourhood that once had 67 known problem rental properties, and drug issues among its population.
In August 2010, Little returned to politics as a candidate in Ottawa's 2010 municipal elections for the Bay Ward, which was held by incumbent Alex Cullen.
