Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. May 30th, 2025

We have seen it happen in multiple sectors since COVID eased its grip on society. And now, it’s happening at RBC. The company has told its employees to be at the office 4 times per week, effective this September. For roles that are fully-remote, or in cases where full-time office arrangements have already been made, these orders do not apply. Have you been ordered back to your workstation yet? And regardless of how you answer that question, what is an acceptable number of in-person workdays? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Turning our attention to Saskatchewan, employers and employees have bigger fish to fry, as ever-growing wildfires force a State of Emergency. We deliver the latest developments as they become available. Plus, a Canadian staple as we know it will soon cease to exist. On Sunday, Hudson’s Bay will be shuttering its doors for good, as 8,000 employees find themselves entering the unemployment line. Retail analyst Doug Stephens joins the show in Hour 3.
