OTTAWA RANKED IN THE TOP 10 CITIES TO WORK REMOTELY IN

These amendments will remove exemptions to air carriers compensation obligations, even in the case of circumstances beyond the control of the airline (i.e. inclement weather or other safety concerns). Additionally, standards of treatment for passengers will be regulated, with food and water now becoming a mandatory provision for all flight disruptions. Baggage delays will also now have more strict regulations in place, with refund requirements being mandatory to establish for air carriers.

A new study by Preply.com found 74 of the best cities to work and live in as a remote worker, and Ottawa came 9th. No other Canadian city made the top 10 list for the WORKATION index, which was ranked according to 3 indicators: Climate & Environment, Costs & Safety, and Quality of Life.

Ottawa’s Quality of Life was the second highest score on the top 10 list, behind only Iceland. The 1st place city, Brisbane, scored only 85 in this area. However, the Queensland Capital scored a perfect 100 in the area of Climate & Environment, something that Ottawa’s winters cannot compete with.
