WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT |
📋 Survey says: two-thirds to three quarters of Federal public employees don’t hate their jobs. Results of the Treasury Board’s 2024 Public Service Employee Survey have been released, with data on ‘engagement, leadership, workforce, workplace, workplace well-being, and compensation’. – 2024 Public Service Employee Survey 📸 The Ottawa Police Service says that 50 officers will be equipped with body cameras by the end of the year. While body cameras have been approved in Ottawa for serveral years, the delay has consistently been blamed on the cost which the Service claims will add four per cent to the police budget. – Josh Pringle at CTV ↪ Officers from Gatineau, the Ontario Provincial Police, the Mounties, and other local police services are being brought in by Ottawa for Canada Day patrolling. – Josh Pringle at CTV 🪂 Ottawa Firefighters and Renfrew County Paramedics used chainsaws to cut through thick woods to rescue a skydiver near Arnprior. The skydiver survived but has multiple injuries. – Natasha O’Neill at CityNews 📰 The Ottawa Business Journal played host to business publications from around the world – but mostly the United States – at the annual conference of the Alliance of Area Business Publishers last week. Seventy local business publishers are in the association, with the Journal being the only member in Canada. Editor-in-chief Anne Howland said her interest is how to expand back into print products.– Mia Jensen in the Ottawa Business Journal |
