Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. April 30th, 2026

RTO mandates are one thing. Parking logistics are another. Once we get to July – just two months from now – federal government employees are expected to report to their office workstations 4 days per week. However, DND employees are already struggling to find parking spots, and it’s been a recurring problem for many years. If your employer tells you to come in, but you can’t park there easily, is that fair to the employee? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Plus, the Spring weather has arrived in spades, which can only mean one thing. Gardening expert Carson Arthur is back for another Ottawa Now gardening season! Got a question for Carson?
