Welcome to our fifth episode, where today we OttaTalk about why By-law Officers may be knocking on your door – and no, it’s not always about a parking ticket.

We’ll talk with Jonathan Walden, Public Information Officer with By-law and Regulatory Services, and ask about what a day in the life of a By-law Enforcement Officer is like and how their roles help protect Ottawa’s residents. Today’s hosts are Valérie and Tom!

This is OttaTalk, the official City of Ottawa podcast series where City staff and residents discuss City programs, projects and initiatives. We’ll cover topics that affect your everyday life. Things like emergency services, garbage collection and nightlife in Ottawa. Why do we have a three-item garbage limit? What’s a typical day like for an Ottawa Paramedic? What does a Nightlife Commissioner do? We have the questions and the answers on OttaTalk.

For now, look forward to a new episode from us each month.
