OttaTalk, Episode 5: Why is By-law knocking on my door?
July 15, 2025
Welcome to the fifth episode of OttaTalk. Today, we OttaTalk about why By-law Officers may be knocking on your door – and no, it’s not always about how your car is parked.
Listen now:
In this episode, we’ll talk with Jonathan Walden, Public Information Officer with By-law and Regulatory Services, about what a day in the life of a By-law Enforcement Officer is like. We’ll learn more about the types of calls they respond to, what it’s like working with pets and wildlife, and how many business licenses they issued last year.

Army commander Lieutenant-General Michael Wright said in a statement released to media Thursday that he was taking steps to address the “inappropriate behaviour” of Canadian Army members involved in the “Blue Hackle Mafia” Facebook group.
