Ottawa Now - Federal public servants officially switch to 4-day, in-office model as unions still question the feds' messaging

July 6, 2026

Effective today, federal public servants are expected to be at the office for at least 4 days per week. And as OC Transpo adjusts their schedule to adapt to the growing commuter crowds, questions continue to swirl as to whether the returning employees will have enough workspaces to complete their tasks.

CAPE President Nathan Prier joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.
