Work environment

The Department of Finance Canada has transitioned to a hybrid workplace requiring employees to work some of the time in the office (aim is for on-site work 50% of the time). This hybrid work arrangement will maintain the flexibility and productivity gained through remote work, while maintaining our culture and making the most of the benefits of working together in the office.

In addition, FIN’s new flagship facility is located at 90 Elgin Street, in the heart of downtown Ottawa. The building is equipped with state-of-the art technologies to support collaboration and innovation. The area is served by all major bus routes and a light rail station, and employees have access in the building to amenities such as a library and showers, change rooms and secure bicycle storage, allowing them to commute using the National Capital Region’s bike path system.
