Residents are advised to avoid non-essential travel, especially in the downtown core.

The following services will see delays or cancellations:

Ottawa Public Library branches

The Ottawa Public Library’s Main and Rideau branches will remain closed tomorrow.

City Hall

Ottawa City Hall and its amenities will remain closed for public access.

These amenities include:

  • Rink of Dreams
  • Underground municipal parking lot

Traffic impacts

Many roadways across the city will experience traffic delays and disruptions. In addition, details may change on short notice and additional roads may be affected. Residents can continue to check our online traffic map and the City of Ottawa’s traffic Twitter account for up-to-date information on traffic delays and disruptions due to the demonstrations.

Ottawa Public Health COVID-19 vaccination clinics

Ottawa Public Health’s (OPH) Lowertown Vaccine Hub, located at the Jules Morin Fieldhouse on 400 Clarence Street East, will re-open tomorrow.

The vaccination clinic at the University of Ottawa Minto Sports Complex will remain closed until Tuesday, February 15.

The after-school vaccination clinic at Viscount Alexander Public School has been cancelled tomorrow.

Those who had appointments at the impacted locations can take advantage of available drop-in offerings at other community clinics or rebook their appointment. Visit Ottawa Public Health's Vaccine Page for more vaccination clinic information.

Delayed resumption of the City Hall Client Service Centre

The City has delayed resumption of its appointments for in-person counter service at its City Hall location until further notice.

The Client Service Centre at Ben Franklin Place – 101 Centrepoint Drive – will be open for in-person services by appointment only – for both Service Ottawa and Building Code Services.

Residents can make appointment an appointment by calling Appointments for the Ben Franklin Place Client Service can be made through the online booking tool on ottawa.ca. People without internet access can reserve at time by calling 3-1-1 and choose option #6.

Visit ottawa.ca for the list of in-person service offerings. Residents can still take advantage of the convenience of accessing services on online. Building Code Services will continue to support application submissions by mail and electronically at buildingpermits@ottawa.ca.

Impacts on OC Transpo

All bus routes with service downtown are expected to remain on detour, until service can be reliably returned to downtown streets. Residents who need to travel in and out of the downtown core should use O-Train Line 1. Currently, Rideau Station can only be accessed through the William Street entrance.

Stay up to date on the latest transit information by visiting octranspo.com/alerts, calling 613-560-5000 or following OC Transpo’s Twitter account. Para Transpo customers can call OC Transpo and a staff member will help book a trip.

Snow clearing

With the demonstration situation remaining very fluid, the City has contingencies in place for any accumulating snow. The City intends to keep focus on pedestrian and emergency access routes through the area, clearing and treating sidewalks and facilitating the safe movement of emergency vehicles, where possible. Due to the demonstration, however, the City has encountered operational constraints which have made accessing the areas in close proximity to the Parliamentary precinct difficult.”

We do not anticipate impacts to snow clearing operations in other parts of the city.

Waste and recycling collection

At this time, the City is not anticipating an impact to residential waste collection as a result of the demonstration. Residents can stay informed of curbside collection delays by signing up to receive notifications through the Ottawa Collection Calendar app; download the mobile app or register for email updates by entering your address and clicking on “Get a reminder!”.

Street-side receptacles and litter are being addressed where access permits.
