The West Carleton Client Service Centre be open to the public on Wednesdays.

“Clients are recommended to schedule an appointment on ottawa.ca/csc,” Coun. Eli El-Chantiry released in a statement. “Walk-ins will be accepted between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. but priority will be given to scheduled appointments.”

Ottawa’s rural client service centres have been closed since the onset of the pandemic more than two years ago (March 2020).
