Casselman Mayor warns office mandate hurts rural communities

An eastern Ontario mayor is calling on the federal government to create regional offices for public servants, warning that stricter return-to-office rules could harm smaller communities.

The mayor says requiring employees to work in-office more frequently may force workers to relocate closer to Ottawa, reducing economic activity in surrounding regions. Local leaders argue more flexible or regionally based work options would better support rural communities while maintaining public service operations.
