2026 Patio Fees Waived!

Exciting news dropped this week! Patio fees are being waived in Ottawa. Mayor Mark Sutcliffe said after introducing the motion in yesterday's council meeting, "This is a challenging time for many small businesses. We want to support our local hospitality industry, our local restaurants and small businesses. We want them to have a great season, especially with Ottawa 200 celebrations. We don’t want to add to their financial burden".

For those who have already paid your fees, you should be reimbursed by the city.
