OttaTalk, Episode 5: Why is By-law knocking on my door?

July 15, 2025

Welcome to the fifth episode of OttaTalk. Today, we OttaTalk about why By-law Officers may be knocking on your door – and no, it’s not always about how your car is parked.

Listen now:

In this episode, we’ll talk with Jonathan Walden, Public Information Officer with By-law and Regulatory Services, about what a day in the life of a By-law Enforcement Officer is like. We’ll learn more about the types of calls they respond to, what it’s like working with pets and wildlife, and how many business licenses they issued last year.
