Ottawa Now - Ontario's public service officially reverts back to the 5-day workspace model

January 5, 2026

After grinding through the bulk of the 2020’s under a hybrid-work model, thousands of Ontario public employees have reverted back to the pre-COVID model. The 5-day workspace mandate was initially unveiled by the province last Summer, but it officially began earlier today. How is it being received, and do the present-day workspaces offer what today's employees need? OPSEU President J.P. Hornick joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.
