Federal government opens 2 of 5 alternative work hubs for public servants

The federal government announced Monday that it would be providing federal public servants with 385 work spaces across five sites in the National Capital Region, a move that Coun. Carol Anne Meehan says is a good start, but isn’t quite enough to entirely combat Ottawa’s growing issues with traffic congestion.

The pilot project, called GCcoworking, is being spearheaded by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) and seeks to provide federal government employees with flexible workplaces separate from their regular offices or homes.

Free to use, the stations will be open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays. Employees can either reserve them ahead of time online or just drop in.
